Shubman Gill\u2019s Titans are perched at the top of the points table with four wins on the trot while Rishabh Pant\u2019s LSG, currently fifth, are riding a wave of momentum after back-to-back victories.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Lucknow were dealt with a major blow as Mitchell Marsh, the in-form opener who has scored 265 runs in five games, missed out as his daughter was unwell, and was replaced by Himmat Singh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe wicket looks good, Happy to win the last two matches. As a team, we talk about the process and the team is responding well now. Bowlers have done a really good job, we have to give credit to them. Instead of Mitchell Marsh, Himmat Singh comes in. His daughter is not well,\u201d said Pant at the toss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This fixture features several fascinating individual battles. None more eye-catching than Nicholas Pooran vs Mohammed Siraj - the tournament\u2019s top run-scorer versus the most effective new-ball bowler. Pooran has smashed 288 runs at a strike rate of 225, including 24 sixes, while Siraj has picked up 10 wickets in five matches, often striking early with Test-match precision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Gill admitted at the toss that he too would have liked to have a bowl first and revealed that Washington Sundar will once again find his place in the starting XI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI would have bowled first as well. I don't think the wicket is going to change much. Everyone is contributing, that's been one of the hallmarks for us, Washi comes in for Kulwant,\u201d said Gill.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
