LSG vs PBKS : IPL 2024 Match 11: Match Prediction, H2H, Playing XI.

LSG vs PBKS : IPL 2024 On Saturday, March 30, the 11th match of the IPL 2024 would see the Lucknow Super Giants against the Punjab Kings.

Match Overview

The Indian Premier League 2024 match between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) takes place on Saturday, March 30, at the famed Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

LSG has only participated in one league game thus far. Last week, they traveled to Jaipur to play the Rajasthan Royals at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. In the afternoon match, the Royals chose to bat first after winning the toss. With a masterful half-century from Sanju Samson, the hosts finished with 193/4 in their 20 overs.

Super Giants, in response, lost three wickets in their opening four overs. Deepak Hooda was out of the game in the eighth over with LSG trailing 60/4. But they were back in the run chase thanks to an 85-run partnership off 52 balls between Nicholas Pooran and captain KL Rahul. But in the final overs, the Royals showed admirable composure and won by a margin of 20 runs. Pooran and Rahul’s half-centuries were in vain.

Speaking of Punjab Kings, at their new Chandigarh home, the team defeated Delhi Capitals by four wickets in their opening IPL 2024 encounter. Thanks to a clean bowling effort, Shikhar Dhawan and company were able to hold Capitals to 174/9. In the second innings, Sam Curran hit for a half-century, and Punjab won by four wickets.

Following a strong start, PBKS encountered difficulty when they played Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Bengaluru, captained by Faf du Plessis, bowled admirably to restrict Punjab to 176/6 in the opening session. With four wickets in the final over, Virat Kohli contributed to the home team’s victory with an incredible innings.

Both teams in the current IPL 2024 are coming off losses going into the match. They will therefore seek to change their luck and win the event by coming back stronger.

LSG vs PBKS: IPL 2024 Pitch Report

LSG used this stadium’s two types of surfaces for their home games last year. In one, the hitters relished their time in the center of the bat. On the other hand, the pitch was also in favor of the spinners since it kept the ball low and made it challenging to chase scores. The second type of pitch was just up Gautam Gambhir’s alley, who was then his mentor.

But this season, the former cricket player for India has joined KKR as a mentor. The Ekana may provide a batting surface where players like Marcus Stoinis, KL Rahul, and Nicholas Pooran are free to express themselves.
