On the other hand, LSG will once again depend on their batters to do all the heavy lifting in the match, given their lack of pace bowlers. Almost all of LSG's Indian pace bowling unit is struggling with niggles. Rishabh Pant will also be under pressure to justify his price tag and lead from the front as a captain and a batter.
