Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants (PBKS vs LSG) Today Match Prediction Preview:
Welcome to the PBKS vs LSG Today Prediction curated by Kheltalk cricket experts. Lucknow Super Giants will face Punjab Kings in the 42nd match of the TATA IPL, 2022 on Monday, 29 April 2022 at the Pune Stadium. Keep on reading for more information on the PBKS vs. LSG game.
Punjab Kings finally registered a win after a couple of setbacks and now will look to build on from here. They are currently at the 6th spot with 4 wins and 4 losses and a win here will get them on a level with the 3rd spot team. Shikhar Dhawan in the last match led the charge in the batting department with blistering 88 runs and Rabada, Arshdeep complimented brilliantly. They finally might have found their ideal eleven and Lucknow Super Giants are a perfect test for them.
Lucknow Super Giants are also coming off an emphatic win against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede in a low-scoring thriller. For Giants, their captain Rahul is plundering runs at the top but contributions from other batsmen are still not enough. They are yet to solve the number 3 spot conundrum as Manish Pandey is yet to prove his worth. Eyes will be on team changes for this match as if Avesh Khan is fit then will they drop Mohsin Khan who was star of last game.
Both teams are in a similar state and every win and loss is going to affect the team’s chances in the next stage. Lucknow Super Giants have been consistent with their brand of cricket and are definitely favorites for this clash.
