Let’s take a look at the probable playing XIs, pitch report, and head-to-head record.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium is made of black soil, which generally assists spinners. However, fast bowlers may get some help in the initial overs. As the match progresses, the surface tends to favour spin bowlers more.
Last season, low-scoring matches were common in Lucknow. But this trend seems to be changing this year.
Match Prediction
Shubman Gill’s GT is unstoppable at the moment. They have a good chance of winning.
