LSG on the other hand, will want to end their league stage on a winning note and that too in front of their home fans. Mitchell Marsh has blown hot and cold in IPL 2026 whereas Josh Inglis has impressed with the bat.
In bowling, Prince Yadav has bowled with heart. The Delhi-based bowler has been impressive and has been LSG's highest wicket-taker and that has earned him a India call-up for the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan next month.
