Gaur Gorakhapur Lions have managed a decent run this season, collecting three wins and three defeats to sit third in the table.
Siddharth Yadav tops their scoring charts with 187 runs from six matches while striking at 170. Akshdeep Nath has made 164 runs across six appearances and provides stability for this batting lineup, with Gorakhaput counting on around 25-30 runs from him in this fixture.
Aryan Juyal and Dhruv Jurel have also contributed well, offering the side a reliable foundation at the top, and they'll be crucial during the powerplay phase in this game.
Lower in the order, Nishant Kushwaha and Hardeep Singh have proven they can bat time and add useful runs, giving Gorakhanpur solid batting options throughout.
Their bowling unit has done its job, with Vasu Vats emerging as their premier wicket-taker with 12 scalps at 8.19 runs per over. Teerath Singh, Shivam Sharma and Prince Yadav have been just as valuable for this bowling attack, producing match-winning spells that could prove decisive in tight situations.

Noida Kings have underperformed in the tournament so fat, winning twice but suffering four defeats, the latest one being a seven-wicket drubbing to Lucknow Falcons. They still have four games to recover and climb the table, though both their batting and bowling need to improve their consistency.
Prashant Veer has been their top run scorer to date, accumulating 153 runs from six innings while striking at 121.43. Karn Sharma and Anivesh Choudhary have contributed well too, each surpassing 100 runs while keeping up decent scoring tempos.
Priyanshu Pandey and Ravi Singh have also added useful contributions with the bat, proving the depth they possess through their order.
Their bowling has depended mostly on Naman Tiwari so far, who has claimed 13 wickets from six matches at an economy of 7.67. Karn Sharma and Kunal Tyagi have provided decent support, taking nine scalps between them. From these two, we back Karn to deliver another solid bowling display in this fixture.

Early matches in the Uttar Pradesh Premier League 2025 indicate that Ekana Stadium offers a balanced pitch, where batters can score but must work for their runs. The surface occasionally slows down, forcing batsmen to adjust their timing. Seamers have made an impact with variations, and spinners have picked up wickets in the middle overs. While the conditions lean toward batting, it’s not a walk in the park.
Lucknow’s forecast calls for overcast skies and possible rain in the afternoon, which could lead to a delay in the start of the game.

At Ekana, the team batting first typically posts scores around the 175-mark. While the Uttar Pradesh T20 League 2025 has produced a few big totals, the majority of games have finished with totals between 160 and 180. To gain the upper hand in this match, the side setting the target should aim for at least 180 runs on the board.
With rain forecast in the afternoon tomorrow, both sides might look to chase first here to keep themselves in a safe position in case DLS comes into play.
Gorakhpur Lions have had a decent campaign so far, but with the group stage winding down, they need to push harder for wins. Their next opponents, Noida Kings, are a side they’ve already defeated once and who haven’t hit their stride yet. Based on how both teams have fared, Gorakhpur holds the advantage and should be backed to secure another victory here.
We are backing Gorakhapur Lions as the winners of this encounter.
