Marsh scored 25 runs in 11 balls off Arshdeep Singh while getting out twice against him. Mitchell Marsh will be opening the innings for Lucknow Super Giants while Arshdeep Singh will be opening the bowling attack for Punjab Kings. This battle will be a good one to watch in this match.
Pant has made 83 runs off 59 balls against Yuzvendra Chahal. Rishabh Pant has maintained a strike-rate of 140.7 against Chahal but has got out three times in the matchups. This is a quality battle to watch out for as these are one of the biggest stars of the Indian cricket team.
Priyansh Arya and Digvesh Rathi are the two of the most quality and promising players for Indian cricket. They both have made their debut this season and are doing very well. Arya has scored his first hundred of IPL in the debut season itself while Digvesh Rathi has taken ten wickets of his IPL career in the debut season itself. Both were engaged in a fired-up battle in the last meeting where Arya hit Rathi for a four but Rathi replied with Arya’s wickets and sent him off with a controversial signature celebration.
Shreyas is an important batter for Punjab. He has scored 360 runs this season with a high score of 97*. He hit 72 in the last match and has four fifties so far. He is calm and helps build the innings. Punjab depends on him in tough times.
Chahal is the top spinner for Punjab this season with his ability to do the magic in hard moments for his team. He has taken 13 wickets in 10 matches. He got 4 wickets in the last game against CSK and also did well with 4/28 earlier. He is bowling smartly and taking key wickets. He is in great form this season. Chahal took a hat-trick against Chennai Super Kings in the last match.
Pooran is hitting the ball really well for Lucknow. He has scored 404 runs in 10 matches and his best is 87*. He smashed 61 against Gujarat and has four fifties this season. He plays fast and helps finish games strongly. Nicholas Pooran has been off in the last few matches but he is looking very disappointed with himself which is eyeing towards a big innings from him in this match.
Marsh is a strong batter in the top order for Lucknow. He has scored 378 runs so far. His best is 81 and he hit 45 and 34 in recent matches. He is consistent and gives the team a good start. Mitchell Marsh has done well this season for LSG being very consistent. He will be the key in this match for Lucknow Super Giants.
Nehal is a middle-order batter for Punjab. He scored 33* against RCB and has a fifty this season. His recent scores are low, but he plays calmly. He can be useful in tricky situations. Nahel Wadhera scored a fifty in the last match against Punjab Kings and he will look to convert that into a hundred in this match.
Ayush is doing a great job for Lucknow. He scored 50 against Rajasthan and made 36 and 35 in other games. He bats smartly and helps the team in the middle overs. He is young but showing good skills. Badoni is one of the best Indian players this season with his ability to do both, rotating strike and power hitting.
Suryansh Shedge is inexperienced and needs a lot of learnings to be a IPL level cricketer as he is not doing anything with the bat and ball. He is wasting his talent by doing extra. He is a good player no doubt and we have seen that with his domestic performances but he will have to improve a lot.
Abdul Samad has been excellent whenever he gets to deliver for his team. He is a good player but the only reason to avoid him in your dream11 team will be his batting order. Samad bats very low which will give him opportunity to play a few balls which will give him less points.
