At the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, match number 21 of the IPL 2023 will feature a contest between the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
Since 2014, PBKS has been the IPL team with the worst consistency, as they have even not qualified for the playoffs.
The Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, had a memorable first season, winning nine out of fourteen games and taking third place in the rankings despite having the same number of victories as the Rajasthan Royals due to a lower net run rate. They fell short of moving on through the elimination stage due to their slim 14-run loss to RCB.
When these two teams last faced off, LSG prevailed by a score of 20 runs. When LSG batted first, Quinton de Kock (46) and Deepak Hooda (34) each contributed an effective knock that helped LSG reach 153/8 in 20 overs. PBKS responded by scoring 133/8 in 20 overs, ultimately falling short by 20 runs. Check complete details on LSG vs PBKS head-to-head records.
Lucknow Super Giants
Nicholas Pooran’s brutal power hitting at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium helped the Lucknow Super Giants defeat Royal Challengers Bangalore in a thrilling victory prior to the match.
Before suffering their lone loss in the competition thus far, LSG first destroyed Delhi Capitals by a score of 50 runs. They subsequently earned two more victories over RCB and Sunrisers Hyderabad to move up to a comfortable second place in the IPL Points Table.
Punjab Kings
On the other hand, Punjab Kings will enter the encounter with a losing record after their last two games. They, however, got off to a good start in their season, winning their first two games with an emphatic victory.
Shikhar Dhawan has been the main focus of their batting, scoring 233 runs at an excellent average of 116.50 while striking the ball at a rate of 146.5 in the four games they have played so far. When they play Lucknow at that team’s home field, they’ll try to get back to winning ways.
