TEAMS PREVIEW

Punjab Kings Preview
Shikhar Dhawan will likely return to the side after missing out on the last game against the Mumbai Indians. He will be happy with the 13-run win against the five-time champions. While their batting line-up has enjoyed a good run,
the bowling attack has failed on more than one occasion. Lucknow will be tough to beat, and Dhawan must lead from the front.
Shikhar Dhawan’s return strengthens the batting at the top, and he will look to offer a good start along with Prabhsimran Singh. Matthew Short and Liam Livingstone must live up to their reputation after a string of low scores.
They will look to build partnerships with Harpreet Singh. The lower middle order is in great form, and they will expect runs from Sam Curran, Shahrukh Khan, and Jitesh Sharma.

Lucknow Super Giants Preview
KL Rahul and his men would like to get over the horrendous performance in their 7-run loss against the Gujarat Titans. The side lost from a position of strength, failing to chase 136 runs after they had 50 runs by the sixth over.
They must approach this game with a fresh mind and aim for a higher position on the points table.
Kyle Mayers and Rahul have been in excellent form, and this pair must deliver a strong start in this game. Rahul will look to improve his strike rate after the criticism in the last game. Nicholas Pooran has done well,
and he needs to anchor the innings and add runs with Krunal Pandya and Ayush Badoni. Deepak Hooda and Marcus Stoinis.
