TEAMS PREVIEW

Noida Super Kings Preview

Shivam Chaudhary and his men have started the campaign on a positive note. They defeated the Lucknow Falcons in the last game by 2 wickets. It was a close game where the lower middle order held its nerves in the last game and took the team to victory. Chaudhary would expect a better show from the middle order to win this game.  

Shivam Chaudhary and Anivesh Choudhary batted well in the last game, and the team expects the pair to deliver a solid start. The middle order didn't contribute much in the last game, and the team needs Aaditya Sharma, Ravi Singh, and Priyanshu Pandey to build partnerships. Prashant Veer and Karn Sharma played match-winning knocks in the last game and add firepower to this batting lineup.  

Naman Tiwari bowled brilliantly in the last game, and he will look to deliver early breakthroughs in the game with Kunal Tyagi. Yuvraj Singh and Karn Sharma are the key bowlers in the team, and they must execute the plans in the middle overs. Jasmer Dhankhar, Prashant Veer, and Mohammed Sharim add depth to this attack. 

Noida Super Kings Predicted Playing XI:

Shivam Chaudhary (c), Prashant Veer, Ravi Singh (wk), Anivesh Choudhary, Priyanshu Pandey, Mohammed Sharim, Naman Tiwari, Jasmer Dhankhar, Yuvraj Singh, Kunal Tyagi, Karn Sharma, Aaditya Sharma (Impact Player)

Gorakhpur Lions Preview

Akshdeep Nath and his team suffered a massive loss in their season opener. They went down by 50 runs against the Kashi Rudras in the last game. The side struggled with the bat, and it is one area they must address in this game. Nath would like a strong show from his batsmen in this game and earn their first points for the season.  

Anchit Yadav and Siddharth Yadav went out cheaply in the last game, and the team needs a big partnership from them. Aryan Juyal, Vijay Yadav, and Akshdeep Nath must build partnerships in the middle order. Prince Yadav batted well in the last game, and he will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order with Nishant Kushwaha.  

Prince Yadav is the key bowler in the team, and he will look to get early breakthroughs in this game with Vasu Vats. Abdul Rehman and Shivam Sharma leaked runs in the middle overs, and the team expects better spells from them. Ankit Chaudhary and Vijay Yadav will look to deliver a good performance in the supporting role.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies would be overcast in Lucknow. The pitch hasn't been a batsman's paradise, as the ball has stopped a bit on the surface. The average first innings total is 167 runs, and the team batting first will need 200 on the board.

NOSK vs GOLS Pitch Report

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee International Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, is a good ground for batsmen who are selective with stroke-making. The occasional ball stops, and the spinners have done well at this venue. The straight boundaries are long, so batsmen have to time their shots well at this venue.

Toss: To Bat

Lucknow has a slow wicket. It is an afternoon game, and the batting conditions will be best at the start. It can be a tough wicket to chase scores with the ball not coming onto the bat, and hence the side winning the toss is likely to opt for batting first.
