IPL 2024: Hosts Lucknow Super Giants Opt To Bowl First Against Chennai Super Kings
Hosts Lucknow Super Giants: Hosts Lucknow Super Giants won the toss and elected to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings in Match 34 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Friday. The hosts Lucknow made just one change as Shamar Joseph went out from the XI and New Zealand pacer Matt Henry came in, whereas for Chennai, Moeen Ali came in for Daryl Mitchell and Deepak Chahar came in for Shardul Thakur.
Lucknow Super Giants captain K.L. Rahul said, “We'll bowl first. Looks like a good wicket, dew hasn’t been a big factor. Hopefully, it stays good for 40 overs. We would like to know what we are chasing. There weren't any blunders we made. Last game against KKR was a big defeat. Still pretty relaxed.
"I know it's the halfway mark. As a leadership group, if we panic it spreads. That's not what I like to be. Great support staff. We are trying to keep as relaxed as possible. The pitches have been relaid here. Each time you play, it can be different. Just one change. Joseph is out, Matt Henry comes in,” he said.
