LSG's middle order is looking solid with Miller and Pooran in form! That last match was 🔥 Hope they can keep the momentum going against GT.

Not sure about their bowling though... 234 runs conceded against KKR is concerning. Need to tighten up before facing Gill's Titans.

That partnership between Pooran and Marsh was pure entertainment! 87* and 81 - what a show! Hope we see more of this batting magic tonight.

Respectfully, I think LSG is relying too much on individual performances rather than team strategy. Need better bowling plans against strong batting lineups like GT.

Excited for the Gill vs Pant captaincy battle! Both young guns leading their teams well this season. Should be a cracking match at Ekana Stadium 💥

Miller's experience is showing this season! His calmness under pressure is exactly what LSG needed. Hope he gets some big runs today 🤞
