Punjab Kings Preview
Shreyas Iyer will be confident heading into this game. The side defeated the Chennai Super Kings in the last game by 4 wickets. The batting lineup has done well in the last few games, and the side will look to bank on its strengths. Iyer would like the players to take inspiration from their earlier win against the Super Giants and seal a berth for themselves in the playoffs.
Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya have been a formidable opening pair this season, and the team expects them to deliver an electrifying start. Shreyas Iyer played a match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs in the middle order with Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh. The side will also like quick runs in the lower middle order from Josh Inglis, Suryansh Shedge, and Marco Jansen.
On the bowling front, the team expects early strikes from Arshdeep Singh and Marco Jansen. Azmatullah Omarzai leaked runs in the last game, and he will look to avoid those mistakes and keep the scoring under check in the middle overs with Harpreet Brar. Yuzvendra Chahal has bowled match-winning spells and will look to deliver a strong show along with Suryansh Shedge.

Lucknow Super Giants Preview
Rishabh Pant’s team finds itself in a spot of bother. They went down against the Mumbai Indians by 54 runs in the last game. The side has dropped to the sixth position on the points table and needs a win to keep hopes alive. They suffered a big loss against the Punjab Kings earlier this season. Pant struggles with his form and must lead from the front in this must-win game.
The team needs a strong start from Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh, as early wickets have hurt them this season. Nicholas Pooran is the key player at No. 3 and must build partnerships with Rishab Pant and Ayush Badoni. David Miller is one of the best finishers in this format, and he will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order with Abdul Samad and Ravi Bishnoi.
The bowlers have struggled this season, and the team needs a good spell with the new ball from Manank Yadav and Prince Yadav. Ravi Bishnoi is the star bowler in the team, and he will look to contain the batters in the middle overs with Digvesh Singh Rathi. The team expects good spells in the supporting role from Avesh Khan and Markram.

PBKS vs LSG Pitch Report
HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala, does offer something for the fast bowlers. The ball moves here, and it can create doubts among the batsmen. However, stroke players have done well due to the smaller size of the ground. Spinners must bowl tight lines, as the ball doesn’t turn here as much on other tracks in the country.
Toss: To Bat
The side batting first has an advantage on this track. The team that batted first won five times in the last six games. The ball moves late in the evening, making run chases difficult. The side winning the toss wouldn’t hesitate to bat first on this surface.
The Lucknow Super Giants face the heat in this game. The batting lineup has struggled with consistency, and the conditions at this venue will be challenging. They must bat well and need runs from the top order. The Punjab Kings have their batsmen in good form and a strong bowling attack. Based on the current form, the Punjab Kings will be the favorites in this game.
