There was no further incident for the next four balls before the bowler fell for a second time. This time, Arshad Khan stayed sprawled on the pitch as Mitchell Marsh checked on the GT pacer. For the second time in the over Titans’ medical team ran out to check on Arshad Khan. Fortunately, the pacer was able to finish the over after conceding 14 runs. 

Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bowl first and went in with the same side that beat Delhi Capitals by 10-wickets. Lucknow Super Giants made couple of changes to their side as Shahbaz Ahmed came in for his first game of the season. Veteran South African batter David Miller was rested for the encounter.
