LSG Team News & Playing 11
LSG Team News
In spite of beginning the tournament with big scores, Kyle Mayers has not contributed in the last two games and we expect Quinton de Kock to come back into the team at the top of the order in this match. Apart from that change we anticipate Lucknow Super Giants sticking with the same players.
LSG Key Players
- KL Rahul - The skipper has not been at his best as yet in this tournament but we expect him to start producing some big scores for Lucknow Super Giants over the coming games.
- Nicholas Pooran - The keeper-batter is enjoying batting in the middle order for the side and hit a fantastic 62 runs from 19 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
- Mark Wood - The right-arm fast bowler is yet to go wicketless in the IPL 2023 and also produced a maiden in the 13th over of the last match to Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis.
LSG Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Kyle Mayers, Yash Thakur, Swapnil Singh, Krishnappa Gowtham, Daniel Sams
Kyle Mayers is an impressive attacking batter and could well come in as an impact player when Lucknow are batting. Daniel Sams is a very reliable wicket taking bowler in this format.
LSG Team Form
With their narrow victory against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday, Lucknow Super Giants have now won three out of four in this campaign.

PBKS Team News & Playing 11
PBKS Team News
There were two changes for Punjab Kings ahead of their defeat to Gujarat Titans on Thursday with Bhanuka Rajapaksa returning to the side and Kagiso Rabada making his first appearance of the campaign. Nathan Ellis and Sikandar Raza were the players left out.
PBKS Key Players
- Shikhar Dhawan - After successive scores of 86 not out and 99 not out, the captain made his first single-figure score of the competition on Thursday. He will be keen to bounce back with a big score in this match.
- Kagiso Rabada - The South African pace bowler became the quickest bowler to reach 100 IPL wickets when he dismissed Wriddhiman Saha against Gujarat Titans.
- Arshdeep Singh - The left-arm medium fast bowler has taken seven wickets across this tournament so far and bowls a very accurate length.
PBKS Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Atharva Taide, Rahul Chahar, Sikandar Raza, Gurnoor Brar, Harpreet Bhati
Leg-spinner Rahul Chahar came into the team as an impact player against Gujarat Titans and could well do so again. Sikandar Raza is a fine all-rounder and can contribute with both bat and ball.
PBKS Team Form
After beginning the tournament with wins over Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings are looking to avoid their third successive defeat.
PBKS Predicted Playing 11
Prabhsimran Singh, Shikhar Dhawan (c), Matthew Short, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Sam Curran, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Rishi Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh
LSG vs PBKS Head to Head

🏆 LSG vs PBKS Prediction
It will be very interesting to see how Punjab Kings respond in this game after losing their last two matches and they are up against a very strong Lucknow Super Giants side in this clash. With Shikhar Dhawan in excellent batting form, Punjab Kings will always have a chance, but we think that Lucknow Super Giants have more depth in their batting line-up. Overall, we are predicting a victory for Lucknow Super Giants.
