Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, have been splendid throughout the tournament and they are coming off four victories in their last four games.

The KL Rahul-led side has excelled in all three departments and each of the personnel in the squad has been putting up their hands. They are likely to go in with the same playing XI after a dominating victory in the last game.

Lucknow Super Giants will have a slight advantage as they played their last game at the same ground and know the conditions well.

However, he was dismissed for a diamond duck in the previous game through a run-out, and he will be looking to make up for it with a big score. The right-hander has been in excellent touch and has the ability to lead the side from the front.
