Lucknow Super Giants

Punjab will be top of the table no matter what after the match with 13 points so far. They would try to stay unbeaten this season with a home win.

Despite Shami taking the game into a super over, it was Narine who bundled out LSG at 1 run with Rinku Singh winning the super over in just 1 ball.

The 27-year-old picked his fifer in his 4th and final over of his spell as he was superb with the new ball with skipper Rishabh Pant bowling him out as quickly as possible to hurt the KKR lineup.

The on field umpire referred it to the third umpire who after multiple reviews, gave the decision against Angkrish, instructing the batter to walk back to the dressing room.

LSG enter this fixture under serious pressure, having lost four matches in a row.

With both sides low on confidence and fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive, this contest is expected to be a tense and crucial battle.

Overall, Ekana has a surface where neither batters nor bowlers dominate completely, ensuring an even and competitive game.

The match will be streamed live on JioHotstar via its app and website in India.
