Pitch Report

As we saw in the opening match of the tournament, the pitch at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is not the easiest for batting. The batters will have to take their time and can then go after the bowling once they are set. Bowling first would be a better option.

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match: KL Rahul

KL Rahul boasts superb numbers with the bat in IPL cricket. The right-handed batter has amassed 3273 runs in his IPL career and has scored them at a superb average of 47.43, and a strike rate of above 135. If Rahul can find form, then the Lucknow side can stamp their authority in the contest.

Probable best bowler of the match: Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan will qualify as one of the best spinners in T20 cricket. The Afghanistan cricketer has a stellar record in the IPL. Khan has prized out 93 batters in his career and has scalped his wickets at a strike rate of 19.40. Khan’s ability to keep the run rate under control and pick up wickets can dent the opposition which makes him a match-winner.
