Team Previews
Kanpur Superstars
Kanpur Superstars have looked dominant in the UP T20 so far, winning two of their first three games. Their batting is being spearheaded by Adarsh Singh, who has already scored over 100 runs in the tournament and stood tall with a magnificent unbeaten century in their last outing. However, their middle order has been slightly fragile, as others like Sameer Rizvi and Shubham Mishra have not provided enough support. Bowling remains a concern, with only Vineet Panwar showing consistency. Kanpur’s strength lies in their strong top-order batting and fighting spirit, but they must ensure contributions from the middle order to avoid depending solely on Adarsh Singh.
Lucknow Falcons
Lucknow Falcons enter this clash after a morale-boosting win over Meerut Mavericks. Their batting lineup has started to show promise, especially with Priyam Garg leading from the front with a brilliant 73 earlier in the league. The duo of Mohammad Saif and Aaradhya Yadav also impressed in the last match, scoring match-winning knocks. Bowling-wise, Parv Singh has been their star, picking up four wickets so far, while veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar brings experience to the lineup. Falcons will rely heavily on their middle order to maintain momentum, as their top-order inconsistencies remain an area of concern.

Favourite Team Today
Kanpur Superstars enter this match as the stronger side and the favourites to win. They are sitting on top of the table and have shown better balance between their batting and bowling compared to the Falcons. Their star opener Adarsh Singh is in the form of his life, scoring runs consistently and leading the team’s batting lineup. Despite losing to Kashi Rudras in the last match, Kanpur showed resilience with Adarsh fighting till the end. Lucknow Falcons, on the other hand, rely heavily on individual brilliance from Priyam Garg or Mohammad Saif, which makes them vulnerable when those players fail. Moreover, Kanpur’s bowling unit, though not extraordinary, has done enough to defend totals and restrict opponents. With more depth in their batting and a slight edge in experience, Kanpur Superstars look like the team to beat in today’s contest.
