IPL 2024: We are in the final stretch of the group stages and this clash is the epitome of tension. It is a battle between second and third on the table. Both these teams won against Mumbai Indians in their last match and would like to continue on that note.
It will also be a mind battle between the two best coaches of IPL 2024 so far. Justin Langer and Gautam Gambhir would battle it out from the dugout while their warriors will be sweating it out on the ground.
Opening Battle
It will be vital for LSG to shut down the threat of Sunil Narine and Phil Salt as soon as possible. In a big ground like Ekana, it is possible to trap Narine and Salt. The responsibility will be on Mohsin Khan and Matt Henry.
