Match Preview
The 11th encounter of the Indian Premier League will have Lucknow Super Giants playing their first home game of the season. In the match scheduled on March 30, the KL Rahul-led side will host Punjab Kings, at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. LSG opened the campaign against Rajasthan Royals, where they registered a 20-run defeat against the IPL 2008 winners.
Punjab, on the flip side, began their IPL 2024 journey against Delhi Capitals on a victorious note but went down to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the next game. Both sides will aim to change their course and clinch a win in the upcoming game.
Toss Prediction
Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings have clashed against each other in three games. Out of those three games, the Punjab captain came on top of all toss wars, while the Lucknow skipper was not lucky enough to turn around results in his favour. However, if we talk about the upcoming match, LSG skipper KL Rahul is likely to win the toss over Shikhar Dhawan, considering that the match will take place in Lucknow and luck might favour the home team.
Win Possibility
As mentioned, LSG and PBKS have faced each other in three matches in the Indian Premier League. Out of those three games, Lucknow clinched victory twice, whereas Punjab could only win one game. Talking about the teams, LSG has a well-rounded squad with a few experienced players as well as some promising talents. Names like Nicholas Pooran, Marnus Stoinis, Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul form a dominating lineup. On the other hand, players such as Ravi Bishnoi, Mark Wood, and Amit Mishra are some notable bowlers of the side.
Punjab Kings have a lethal bowling attack, with names like Harshal Patel, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Kagiso Rabada, and more. However, one of the biggest drawbacks of the side has been its inconsistency and they are expected to address it and come up with a solution in the upcoming matches.
Speaking of the win prediction, LSG has a stronger side and is likely to win.
