In that encounter, their batting seemed firm with Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh contributing with match-winning knocks. Shardul Thakur was also vital with the ball, claiming four wickets. Having five of their subsequent seven fixtures at home, LSG would want to do better on their own turf, where they have triumphed only in seven out of 13 concluded games. Punjab Kings, having a promising start to the season, enter this fixture with the confidence boost of a convincing win over Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. In that match, skipper Shreyas Iyer took the game by the scruff of the neck with a brilliant innings of 97*, and Shashank Singh offered a strong finish. Vijaykumar Vyshak's wide yorkers also did a great job of turning the game in their favor. PBKS got a week-long break after that match, so they had enough time to prepare for the spin-friendly Lucknow conditions. But only time will tell how they adapt after the long break. This battle promises a thrilling and exciting encounter as Lucknow Super Giants will be aiming for a victory in front of their home crowd, while Punjab Kings will eye on their second consecutive win this season.
