When Lucknow and Punjab faced each other, Punjab, batting first, amassed another outstanding score thanks to a brilliant knock from Prabhsimran Singh. Other hitters also made key contributions. The bowlers took early wickets and were effective from the beginning. Even though Badoni and Samad performed admirably, they lost by 37 runs because the total was too high.

In the last game, Bengaluru fought against Chennai, where Bethell and Kohli started brilliantly with the bat. Batters looked scratchy in the middle overs, but insane bashing from Shepherd put them in a strong position. Chasing 214, Chennai started well and were maintaining a good run-rate. Somehow, they managed to mess it up towards the end and ended up losing the game by 2 runs.

The average scoring rate of 9.72 at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow thus far indicates that the surface has helped the hitters. On the other hand, Ekana Stadium should have a somewhat dry surface. To succeed at this venue, the pacers will concentrate on hitting the deck and changing their pace, while the spinners may get a hint of turn in the middle overs. The victor of the toss may choose to bat first because it's an afternoon game.
