UP T20 League 2023, Meerut Mavericks vs Gorakhpur Lions, Match 8: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast

In the eighth match of the UP T20 League 2023, the Meerut Mavericks will lock horns with the Gorakhpur Lions at Green Park in Kanpur on Sunday, September 3.

The Meerut Mavericks, led by in-form Madhav Kaushik, have had a turbulent start to their season, experiencing highs and lows in their first two contests. The Mavericks’ batters have had a good campaign, but their bowlers are yet to find the rhythm, which is affecting the team in securing consistent victories.

Though their campaign started with a nail-biting victory in the Super Over against the Kashi Rudras, they faced a setback against the Kanpur Superstars, suffering a seven-wicket defeat in a high-scoring contest.

On the other hand, the Gorakhpur Lions have had a disastrous competition with two losses in as many games.

Their first defeat of the season came against the Lucknow Falcons in the Super Over. They encountered an even bigger loss in their second game over the Noida Super Kings by 43 runs to settle with the wooden spoon.

They need to hit the drawing board, regroup and fill the chunks in their armor to make a stronger comeback in their forthcoming encounters.
