Analysis
Gorakhpur Lions have big stars like Dhruv Jurel and Mohsin Khan from the Indian Premier League (IPL) in their setup, but they are yet to play for the team in the UP T20. In their absence, the responsibility of taking the Lions to the top of the league will rest on Abhishek Goswami and Shivam Sharma in particular.
Meanwhile, the opening pair of Noida Super Kings, namely Almas Shaukat and Samarth Singh set the tone for the tournament with a flying start in the powerplay, with the latter scoring 91 off 58 balls. In the bowling department, Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up key wickets, and he was ably supported by Naman Tiwari and Saurabh Kumar to help defeat Kanpur Superstars in a one-sided contest.
