Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, faced a heartbreaking one-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals. Despite blistering half-centuries from Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh, their total of 209 runs proved insufficient. The bowling unit, even with the inclusion of Avesh Khan, appeared vulnerable, raising concerns ahead of their encounter with SRH’s potent batting lineup.
Considering the current form and home advantage, SRH appears to have the upper hand. Their aggressive batting approach and a relatively more effective bowling attack position them as favourites in this matchup.
