Weather Report for March 30
Pitch Report
Analysis
The Lucknow Super Giants had a decent effort in their season opener, but a few glaring errors cost them the victory against Rajasthan Royals. LSG’s new ball attack was their problem over the last season and continued in 2024. This shortcoming with their poor fielding efforts allowed RR to score quick runs. Similarly, the form of their batters could grow into a problem, if they continue taking up too many balls to score runs.
Talking about the Punjab Kings, the Shikhar Dhawan-led has had a promising start to their season with two great efforts which led to one win and one loss. The PBKS batting hasn’t fired with Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow and Prabhsimran Singh not finding form. In contrast, the Punjab bowling has performed well with Kagiso Rabada, Harshal Patel and Sam Curran performing well.
