UP T20 League 2024: Kashi Rudras Vs Lucknow Falcons, Pre-Match Report
The UP T20 League 2024 is reaching its final stages, and there are very less league matches that are left to be played now. On Friday, 6th September, Kashi Rudras will take on Lucknow Falcons in the second and last game of the day, starting at 7:30 P.M. Indian Standard Time (IST). This will be the encounter at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
Defending champions Kashi Rudras have recovered quite well after having lost their first match to Meerut Mavericks. Though they have failed to close the gap on Meerut, the Kashi side has been doing well and looks on course for a playoff berth. The Lucknow Falcons, on the other hand, have made a great recovery after an erratic start to the season. Of late, they have been one of the most in-form teams in the league, and a birth in the playoff is very likely.
