| POS | TEAM | P | W | L | NR | NRR | PTS |

LSG lost their opening match of the season against the Rajasthan Royals. Henry’s entrance may be a good move for both sides. The presence of a proven international fast bowler could help their bowling unit perform better. Lucknow started their campaign with a defeat against Rajasthan Royals, and will now face PBKS in their second match.
Against RR, Naveen-ul-Haq took two wickets, Ravi Bishnoi and Mohsin Khan took one wicket each. Henry’s arrival will bring more enthusiasm and firepower to the team.
