Team Previews
Gorakhpur Lions Preview
Gorakhpur Lions have been one of the consistent sides in this tournament, winning three out of six matches and sitting comfortably in the mid-table. Their batting unit revolves around Siddharth Yadav, who leads the charts with 187 runs at a strike rate of 170. Aryan Juyal and Dhruv Jurel have provided strong starts, ensuring stability at the top. In the middle order, Akshdeep Nath and Nishant Kushwaha have been crucial in steadying the innings and accelerating in the final overs.
Bowling has been their real strength, led by Vasu Vats with 12 wickets so far. Teerath Singh and Shivam Sharma have supported well, keeping opposition batters in check during crucial phases. Prince Yadav’s breakthroughs have often swung games in their favor. With this balance of batting and bowling, Gorakhpur look strong enough to challenge Noida once again.
Noida Super Kings Preview
Noida Super Kings, on the other hand, have struggled for momentum this season with just two wins in six games. Their batting has relied heavily on skipper Prashant Veer, who has scored 153 runs but lacked consistency from others. Anivesh Choudhary and Karn Sharma have chipped in with runs, while Ravi Singh has provided cameos but hasn’t converted starts into big scores.
Bowling-wise, Naman Tiwari has been their standout performer with 13 wickets in six matches. Karn Sharma and Kunal Tyagi have shown flashes of brilliance, but their economy rates have been a concern. If Noida’s batting clicks and their bowling unit maintains discipline, they could push Gorakhpur to the wire.

Favorite Team Today (Why Gorakhpur Lions)
Gorakhpur Lions are the favorites heading into this match due to their stronger overall balance. Their batting order boasts multiple consistent run-getters, with Siddharth Yadav in red-hot form and Akshdeep Nath providing middle-order reliability. Add to that the wicket-taking ability of Vasu Vats and Prince Yadav, Gorakhpur look more stable compared to Noida’s over-reliance on a few key players. Having already beaten Noida earlier this season, the psychological edge is also in their favor. Unless Noida’s middle order delivers and their bowlers restrict runs early on, Gorakhpur Lions are expected to dominate this encounter.
