Rashid Khan shone with the ball for the Titans, taking three wickets for 14 runs in four overs, while Noor Ahmad, the other spinner, picked up two wickets.

The Lucknow Super Giants are in second place in the points table, having won five of their ten matches in the Indian Premier League 2023. Their most recent match against Chennai Super Kings was called off due to rain. Prior to the interruption, Lucknow had managed to score 125 runs for the loss of seven wickets in 19.2 overs. In their previous game against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Lucknow fell short of the target of 127 runs, losing by 18 runs. Unfortunately, their captain, KL Rahul, sustained an injury during the game and has been ruled out of the tournament.
Both the Titans and Super Giants made their debut in the IPL last year and have played against each other three times. The Titans have won all three of these matches, including their latest encounter this season, where they defended their total of 135 runs and handed the Super Giants a seven-run defeat. For the first time in IPL's history, two brothers, Krunal Pandya, and Hardik Pandya, will face each other as captains of two different franchises, with Krunal leading the Lucknow Super Giants in the upcoming game.
