Lucknow Falcons Preview
Lucknow Falcons have been consistent so far and currently hold the 2nd spot on the table. Their batting has revolved around Priyam Garg, who is the leading run scorer with 146 runs. Samarth Singh’s recent form (69 in the last game) adds depth to their top order. The Falcons’ bowling is spearheaded by Vipraj Nigam, who has taken 5 wickets. Their latest win over Kanpur Superstars showed their ability to defend totals, with their disciplined bowling stopping a dangerous chase. With experienced campaigners like Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the ranks, they have the perfect blend of youth and experience.
Gorakhpur Lions Preview
The Lions, currently 4th, have had mixed fortunes. Their batting lineup has struggled to convert starts into big scores, although Prince Yadav (77 runs) and Siddharth Yadav remain reliable. Akshdeep Nath adds balance in the middle order. Bowling has been their strongest suit, with Vasu Vats claiming 6 wickets. However, their last match exposed their weakness in defending totals, as Rinku Singh’s onslaught blew them away. If their batting clicks and bowlers stick to their plans, Gorakhpur Lions can be dangerous opponents.

Their batting lineup is firing with Garg and Singh in top form, while their bowling is well-balanced with Vipraj Nigam and Bhuvneshwar Kumar leading the attack.
