LSG vs GT, MI vs PBKS: IPL 2023 squad news
Lucknow are second in the points table, level on points with table toppers Rajasthan Royals and third placed Chennai Super Kings, with only net points separating the three. Gujarat Titans are two points behind the trio, but have a game in hand.
Mark Wood missed the last game due to illness and there is no update on his availability yet. If he doesn’t recover, Lucknow could sustain the depth of their spin attack to win. Defending champions Gujarat, on the other hand, have the potential to adapt to any track.
Like Gujarat, Mumbai also has six points from five games. If Jofra Archer recovers for tonight’s game, they will be home favorites against an inconsistent Punjab side who have the six points, albeit in six games.
There are still no updates on the availability of Punjab captain Shikhar Dhawan, who has suffered a shoulder injury. If he doesn’t recover, Sam Curran will lead Punjab again.
