Lucknow’s pace attack running on fumes
Despite Lucknow’s struggles with pace bowling, they have successfully restricted SRH and DC for significant periods. Against Punjab, their pacers could again make an impact, with Avesh Khan being a key player to watch. However, with Akash Deep and Mayank Yadav still sidelined and Mohsin Khan ruled out for the season, LSG’s inexperienced pace attack remains vulnerable. It may only be a matter of time before a strong batting lineup capitalizes on this weakness.
