It is one such case that momentum will surely come into play.
SRH recovered well from their loss in the opener with an incredible score against KKR. SRH is surely going to be an effective batting side comprising Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen and Liam Livingstone. Despite the absence of Pat Cummins, the bowlers of SRH have done well when needed.
As for LSG, things did not go too well for them in the opening game. The batting coordination was not too great for them and even the opening combination of Rishabh Pant flopped. LSG surely have some good talent, including Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran and Mohammed Shami.
