Details of today's matches---

1 Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans, 30th Match

Venue: Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow - 3.30 PM

Lucknow Super Giants

Quinton de Kock batted beside KL Rahul during practice but after Mayers' fifty in the last game, it looks unlikely that he will get a crack. Mark Wood didn't play the last game in Jaipur and he's unlikely to play the afternoon game, especially with Naveen-ul-Haq starting well in his absence. The Afghanistan pacer looked unflappable bowling to the likes of Jos Buttler, Shimron Hetmyer and Yashasvi Jaiswal on his IPL debut and will be keen to emulate the same at home.

Tactics & matchups: Kyle Mayers strikes at under 89 against left-arm pacers and will have to come out trumps against the challenge of Joshua Little.

Probable XI: KL Rahul(c), Kyle Mayers, Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Nicholas Pooran(w), Ayush Badoni, Naveen-ul-Haq, Avesh Khan, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Ravi Bishnoi

Gujarat Titans

Vijay Shankar has been in and out with back spasms and even missed the last game. If he's fit, he should slot back right in for Abhinav Manohar.

Tactics & matchups: Expect Rashid Khan to bowl in the PowerPlay to KL Rahul, whom he has dismissed thrice already. The LSG opener averages 6 and strikes at 60 against the legspinner.

Probable XI: Wriddhiman Saha(w), Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Hardik Pandya (c), Vijay Shankar/Abhinav Manohar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma/Noor Ahmad (Impact Player)

Today's 2nd Match--

Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings, 31st Match -- 7.30 pm

Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

What to expect: The possibility of dew could play a factor in influencing the decision at the toss. The pitch, and the ground size, has aided batters a touch particularly early in the season.

Head to head: Mumbai Indians 15 - 14 Punjab Kings

Team combinations

Mumbai Indians: The team looks settled and there are unlikely to be any changes unless Jofra Archer gets fit and is ready to return to action. One of Jason Behrendorff and Riley Meredith could make way in that case.

Tactics and match-ups: Mumbai's experienced batters pulling their weight will be one of the targets heading into the game. For Rohit, this could be an uphill task against a bowling line-up that is stacked with bowlers that are not his first choice - left-arm pace and the ball turning away. Since 2019, he has been dismissed 21 times to this, and the likes of Arshdeep, Curran, Chahar and Harpreet Brar could be challenges.

Probables: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Cameron Green, Tilak Varma, Tim David, Arjun Tendulkar, Nehal Wadhera, Hrithik Shokeen, Piyush Chawla, Jason Behrendoff

PBKS: With spinners Rahul Chahar and Harpreet Brar doing well, one possible change is Kagiso Rabada coming in place of Nathan Ellis. There is an outside chance of Shikhar Dhawan coming in as an impact player, to bat.

Tactics and match-ups: Kagiso Rabada could find his way back into the eleven particularly since his good match-up against the likes of Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav. He has dismissed the former twice in 26 balls and the latter thrice in 40 bals.

Probables: Atharva Taide, Prabhsimran Singh, Matthew Short, Liam Livingstone, Harpreet Singh Bhatia, Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Nathan Ellis/Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh, Rahul Chahar
