Lucknow Falcons vs Noida Super Kings Prediction, 6th T20 UP T20 League 2026
The Lucknow Falcons vs Noida Super Kings prediction for the 6th T20 match of the Uttar Pradesh T20 League 2026 points towards an intriguing contest at Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, on Monday, 17 August 2026. Lucknow Falcons will be looking to bounce back after losing their opening match against Gorakhpur Lions by four wickets under the DLS method, while Noida Super Kings enter this fixture with confidence after registering a three-wicket victory over Kanpur Superstars. The Falcons’ previous game was reduced to 15 overs because of rain, and their batting unit struggled badly, managing only 94 runs. Satyam Pandey was the only batter to provide meaningful resistance, scoring 33 runs, but he received very little support from the rest of the lineup.
Noida Super Kings also experienced a dramatic batting collapse in their opening game, falling to 57/7 while chasing 135 against Kanpur Superstars. However, Bobby Yadav and Kartik Siddhu produced a brilliant lower-order recovery. Yadav scored 45 from 29 balls, while Siddhu contributed 34 from 20 deliveries, allowing Noida to complete the chase in the final over with three wickets remaining. That victory demonstrated the fighting spirit within the Noida camp, although their top-order collapse remains a concern.
Lucknow Falcons, on the other hand, will hope their batting lineup responds strongly after the disappointing opening performance. The presence of experienced campaigner Bhuvneshwar Kumar gives Lucknow an important bowling and leadership option, while Vipraj Nigam is expected to play a major role in the middle overs. Noida will depend on Shiva Singh for wickets and Bobby Yadav for another impactful batting performance. Since both teams have shown vulnerabilities in their previous matches, the powerplay could become the decisive phase. Lucknow’s home advantage at Ekana Cricket Stadium may also give them additional confidence. The Falcons need their experienced batters to provide a stable platform before unleashing their stroke-makers.
Noida, meanwhile, must avoid another collapse if they want to maintain their winning momentum. Overall, Lucknow Falcons appear to have the more balanced combination and greater potential to dominate if their batting unit performs closer to expectations. Noida Super Kings have already shown they can recover from difficult situations, so they cannot be underestimated. The match could therefore be decided by which side handles pressure better in the middle overs and death phase. Based on the supplied team form, squad balance and home advantage, Lucknow Falcons are our marginal favourites to win.

Lucknow Falcons Preview
Lucknow Falcons will enter their second match of the Uttar Pradesh T20 League 2026 looking to recover from a disappointing opening result. They suffered a four-wicket defeat against Gorakhpur Lions under the DLS method after rain reduced the contest to 15 overs per side.
The Falcons’ biggest concern from that match was their batting performance. They managed only 94 runs in their allotted 15 overs, leaving their bowlers with very little margin for error.
Mohammad Saif, Priyam Garg and Aaradhya Yadav could not make significant contributions. The wickets kept falling regularly, preventing Lucknow from building partnerships or generating momentum during the middle and final overs.
Satyam Pandey was the standout batter. He scored 33 runs and fought hard while wickets continued to fall around him. However, one substantial individual contribution was not enough to take the Falcons towards a competitive total.
The upcoming match gives the batting unit an opportunity to correct those mistakes. Priyam Garg is an experienced top-order option and will be expected to play a more influential role against Noida.
Lucknow also have several players capable of accelerating the innings. If the top order can survive the initial overs, the Falcons should have enough batting resources to target a score around 180 or higher.
Their bowling department has a major weapon in Bhuvneshwar Kumar. His experience with the new ball can be extremely valuable, particularly against a Noida batting order that collapsed badly in its opening game.
Vipraj Nigam is another important player for the Falcons. He has already taken two wickets in the competition and could become a key middle-over option if the pitch provides assistance to spin.
The Falcons will also need support from their other bowling options. Restricting Bobby Yadav will be one of their primary objectives because the Noida batter demonstrated excellent composure during the previous chase.
The biggest advantage for Lucknow is their home setting. Playing at Ekana Cricket Stadium should give the players greater familiarity with the conditions, pitch pace and dimensions.
However, they cannot afford another poor start with the bat. Noida Super Kings will be encouraged by their comeback victory and could apply pressure if Lucknow lose early wickets.
The Falcons therefore need a more structured batting approach. Their top order should focus on building a partnership before increasing the scoring rate.
If Satyam Pandey, Priyam Garg and the other experienced batters can produce meaningful contributions, Lucknow have enough depth to post a strong total.
The bowling unit then needs to take advantage of any early movement and keep Noida’s dangerous middle order under pressure.
Overall, Lucknow Falcons have considerable potential but must convert that potential into a complete team performance. Their opening defeat was heavily influenced by the rain-reduced format, and a full 20-over game could provide their batting lineup with a better opportunity to establish itself.
Key Players
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar
- Priyam Garg
- Satyam Pandey
- Vipraj Nigam
- Mohammad Saif
Noida Super Kings Preview
Noida Super Kings have started their Uttar Pradesh T20 League 2026 campaign with a hard-fought three-wicket victory over Kanpur Superstars. They currently occupy second position in the points table with one win and will be eager to build on that positive beginning against Lucknow Falcons.
Their opening match, however, exposed both their strengths and weaknesses. Noida’s bowling unit did a reasonable job of restricting Kanpur Superstars to 134/8 in 20 overs.
Kanpur struggled to build momentum throughout the innings. Adarsh Singh departed cheaply, while Priyanshu Pandey and Mohamed Amaan could not convert their starts into substantial scores.
Yashovardhan Singh and Shubham Mishra contributed 28 and 29 runs respectively towards the end, allowing Kanpur to reach 134. Noida therefore had a manageable target, but their chase initially appeared to be heading towards defeat.
The Super Kings were reduced to 57/7 in the 12th over. At that point, the match looked heavily tilted towards Kanpur.
Bobby Yadav then produced a match-changing innings. He scored 45 from 29 deliveries and remained composed despite the pressure. Kartik Siddhu provided excellent support with 34 from 20 balls.
Their partnership completely changed the contest and helped Noida cross the finishing line in the final over with three wickets remaining.
Bobby Yadav is therefore likely to be one of the most important players for Noida against Lucknow. He currently leads their batting statistics with 44 runs according to the supplied tournament figures, although his previous match score was 45.
Kartik Siddhu also deserves attention after his excellent contribution during the previous chase. His ability to attack the ball in the closing overs provides Noida with an important finishing option.
With the ball, Shiva Singh is currently their leading wicket-taker with three scalps. His role will be especially important if the Lucknow top order attempts to attack aggressively.
Noida will need a much better performance from their top order in this match. Falling to 57/7 against Kanpur exposed their vulnerability against disciplined bowling.
They cannot expect another rescue act every time. Against Lucknow, they will need their opening and middle-order batters to establish partnerships and reduce the pressure on the lower order.
The bowling unit should take confidence from the fact that Kanpur were restricted to only 134. If Shiva Singh and the other bowlers can create early breakthroughs, Noida can put Lucknow under pressure.
The team also has enough depth to adapt according to the match situation. Their victory in the opening game demonstrated that they can remain competitive even when the situation appears to be against them.
However, Lucknow’s home advantage and potentially stronger batting lineup could provide a more difficult challenge.
Noida’s best strategy will be to attack the Falcons during the powerplay and prevent their experienced batters from settling down.
If they can take early wickets and force Lucknow into another rebuilding phase, the Super Kings will have an excellent opportunity to continue their unbeaten start.
Overall, Noida Super Kings are a resilient side with a dangerous bowling attack and proven lower-order fighting ability. Their major weakness is batting consistency, and fixing that issue will be essential if they want to defeat Lucknow Falcons.

Favourite Team in Today’s Match – Why?
Lucknow Falcons are our favourite team to win this match.
The primary reason is their home advantage and greater potential for improvement after a disappointing opening game. Their previous match was reduced to 15 overs because of rain, and the batting lineup never found its rhythm while scoring only 94.
Lucknow have several experienced players capable of producing a much stronger performance in a full 20-over game. Priyam Garg can anchor the innings, while Satyam Pandey has already shown his ability to fight under pressure.
The presence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar also strengthens their bowling attack. His experience can be particularly valuable against a Noida batting lineup that collapsed to 57/7 in its previous match.
Noida’s victory demonstrated excellent fighting spirit, but another major batting collapse would be difficult to recover from.
With home conditions, greater batting potential and a strong experienced bowler, Lucknow Falcons have the edge.
Pitch Report
The Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow generally offers a surface where disciplined bowling can create pressure, while batters who spend time at the crease can gradually increase their scoring rate. Pacers may find some assistance with the new ball, whereas spinners and cutters can become useful as the pitch slows. The large boundaries can also make it difficult for batters to clear the ropes consistently. For this match, a first-innings total around 165-175 should be competitive, while a score approaching 180 would give the batting side a strong advantage.

Toss Prediction
Toss Prediction: Noida Super Kings to win the toss.
If Noida Super Kings win the toss, we expect them to prefer bowling first and chase the target. The Ekana surface can become easier for batting once the initial movement disappears, while the chasing side also has the advantage of knowing the required run rate. Lucknow Falcons would ideally want to score at least 175 if they bat first. Noida’s previous match showed their lower order can handle pressure during a chase, although another early collapse would make the task difficult. Our prediction is Noida Super Kings to win the toss and field first.
Score Prediction
| Scenario | Predicted Score | Reason |
| Lucknow Falcons bat first | 175–185 | Stronger batting potential and home advantage |
| Noida Super Kings bat first | 155–165 | Bowling-friendly conditions could restrict scoring |
| Lucknow Falcons Powerplay | 48–55 | Top order expected to attack cautiously |
| Noida Super Kings Powerplay | 43–50 | Early wickets could slow the scoring |
| Expected winning score | 170+ | Competitive total at Ekana |
If Lucknow Falcons bat first, they are expected to score around 175-185 runs. Their previous total of 94 was heavily influenced by the shortened 15-over format and repeated wickets, so a full 20-over innings should give their batting unit a better opportunity.
If Noida Super Kings bat first, they could reach around 155-165 runs. Their previous match demonstrated their ability to recover from adversity, but Lucknow’s bowling attack could make another comeback difficult.
A total above 175 should provide Lucknow with a strong chance of defending the game.
Probable Batsman & Bowler
| Category | Team | Player | Reason |
| Best Batter | LF | Priyam Garg | Experienced top-order batter |
| Best Batter | LF | Satyam Pandey | Top scorer for Lucknow in previous match |
| Best Batter | NSK | Bobby Yadav | Scored 45 off 29 in previous match |
| Best Batter | NSK | Kartik Siddhu | Scored 34 off 20 during successful chase |
| Best Bowler | LF | Bhuvneshwar Kumar | Experienced new-ball bowler |
| Best Bowler | LF | Vipraj Nigam | Leading Lucknow wicket-taker |
| Best Bowler | NSK | Shiva Singh | Three wickets in tournament |
| Best Bowler | NSK | Kunal Tyagi | Useful pace option |
Probable Top Performer
Priyam Garg is our preferred batting pick from Lucknow because he has the experience and technique to build an innings on the Ekana surface.
For Noida, Bobby Yadav is the player to watch after his match-winning 45 from 29 balls in the previous game.
With the ball, Bhuvneshwar Kumar could be decisive for Lucknow, especially if he gets early movement.
Lucknow Falcons vs Noida Super Kings Winning Chances
| Team | Winning Chance | Why They Can Win | Why They Can Lose |
| Lucknow Falcons | 69% | Home advantage, experienced bowling and stronger bounce-back potential | Batting collapsed badly in previous match |
| Noida Super Kings | 31% | Fighting spirit, Bobby Yadav and Shiva Singh | Top-order collapse and pressure on lower order |
Lucknow Falcons vs Noida Super Kings Match Prediction
Lucknow Falcons are our favourites for the 6th T20 of the Uttar Pradesh T20 League 2026. Their opening match ended in defeat, but the contest was reduced to 15 overs because of rain, and their batting unit never established a partnership. Noida Super Kings enter with confidence after defeating Kanpur Superstars by three wickets, but their top-order collapse to 57/7 remains a significant concern. Bobby Yadav and Kartik Siddhu rescued them brilliantly in that match, yet relying on the lower order again would be risky. Lucknow have home advantage and experienced bowling options led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar. If their top order delivers a solid start, they should control the match. Our prediction is that Lucknow Falcons will win.
Toss Prediction: Noida Super Kings
Lucknow Falcons Expected Score: 175–185
Noida Super Kings Expected Score: 155–165
Winning Chances: Lucknow Falcons 69% | Noida Super Kings 31%
Best Batter: Priyam Garg / Bobby Yadav
Best Bowler: Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Predicted Result: Lucknow Falcons to win
