Who Will Win Today’s Match – PBKS vs LSG?

Looking at the current form and head-to-head record, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have a slight edge over Punjab Kings (PBKS). LSG have won 3 out of 5 matches against PBKS in the IPL so far, and they will be hungry for a win to stay in the playoff race.

However, PBKS are in better shape on the points table and recently beat LSG by 8 wickets, so they also have momentum on their side. The match being held at HPCA Stadium—a neutral ground for both teams—makes it even tougher to call.

Iyer, who was bought for Rs 26.75 crore, has proved his worth with smart captaincy and four half-centuries, the most recent one helping PBKS beat CSK. On the other hand, IPL's most expensive player, Pant, who was bought for Rs 27 crore, in poor form, is still a worry — he has scored only 110 runs in 10 innings, including six scores in single digits.

Our Prediction:

If LSG bat first and put up a strong score (around 180+), they are likely to win. But if PBKS chase well, like they did last time, they could take the game.

So, it’s a close contest, but LSG might just edge it today.
