LSG vs PBKS

Both teams are coming off victories in their previous games and have had some strong performances. Mayank Agarwal’s team was able to protect their total against CSK thanks to some outstanding death bowling from the likes of Arshdeep Singh and Rishi Dhawan.

The Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, put on a strong performance against the Mumbai Indians in their previous game to get their season back on track. The KL Rahul-led side is currently in fourth place in the points table with ten points after five wins in eight games.
