LSG’s only game of the season ended in a loss, but PBKS has won both of their opening contests.
But both sides are coming off a loss. This time, they would like to present a thorough performance.
Pitch report and different subtleties
Lucknow’s Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Arena will have this conflict on Walk 30 (7:30pm IST).
The track here has been low and slow and has helped spinners. Players, who have assembled their innings persistently, have figured out how to score runs.
One can watch the match live on the Star Sports Organization and stream something very similar on JioCinema.
A glance at the straight on record
As LSG made their IPL debut just in 2022, the different sides have just met threefold up until this point.
While KL Rahul’s men crushed PBKS in their main gathering in 2022, the different sides left with one triumph each the year before.
In the mean time, PBKS’ triumph over LSG last season was recorded at the Lucknow Arena.
Could LSG at any point open their record?
Both of PBKS’ games so far have been high-scoring thrill rides.
While they figured out how to pursue down 175 against Delhi Capitals, they neglected to safeguard 176 versus Illustrious Challengers Bengaluru.
Bowling has been an issue for them. In the interim, LSG couldn’t pursue down 194 against the Rajasthan Royals.
Skipper Rahul’s aim at the top was addressed by a lot of people.
Here are the likely XIs
LSG (likely XI): KL Rahul (c and wk), Quinton de Kock, Devdutt Padikkal, Ayush Badoni, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq, Yash Thakur.
