IPL Cricket Match Prediction 2024 | Match 11 | Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings – Will LSG get their first victory in the tournament by defeating PBKS? | March 30
Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings Match Analysis
In the IPL 2024, LSG will play host to PBKS in game 11. Starting at 7:30 PM IST on March 30, the match will take place in Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium. The tournament did not start well for LSG as they were defeated by RR by 20 runs. From the game, LSG learned a lot. Despite the unfavorable outcome, they might still feel encouraged by their bowlers’ performance. Although RR did manage to score an enormous 193–4, LSG did bowl fairly effectively as well.
The team only managed to score a large amount because to Sanju Samson’s genius. KL Rahul blasted 58 runs off the bat to give his tournament a fantastic start. Nicholas Pooran scored 64 and also had some useful runs under his belt. A while back, LSG was leading the chase, but Rahul’s wicket turned the tide of the match in RR’s favor. LSG is a very formidable team on paper, and having the home advantage will be very helpful.
In contrast, PBKS overcame DC but fell short against RCB. For Punjab Kings, there are a few worries. Bairstow has not fired, but Dhawan has performed well. Thus far, Liam Livingstone has likewise fallen short. Rabada has excelled when he has had the ball, but he has not had much help. These are not brand-new problems for PBKS; the team has dealt with them before. With their core squad being retained for the 2024 IPL, PBKS will need to perform exceptionally well to win the league for the first time.
Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings Team Preview & Squads
Lucknow Super Giants
Since the surface is moving slowly, LSG can play an additional spinner. Pacer Yash Thakur can be replaced by veteran Amit Mishra. Deepak Hooda will enter the game as an impact player, but the batting order should stay unchanged.
They were well-positioned to limit RR to a total below par after taking out the two opposition openers during the powerplay. However, their bowlers were unable to gain traction and consequently let up runs in the middle overs. You must pay the price in death if you don’t strike frequently in the middle.
However, they had little chance of chasing RR down after losing de Kock, Padikkal, and Badoni in the opening three overs. However, Deepak Hooda, Nicholas Pooran, and KL Rahul got up and shown their counterattacking prowess to keep LSG in the chase. Ultimately though, it was insufficient. In terms of bowling, LSG still has a lot to work on, so they’ll be hoping that their bowlers do well at home.

Punjab Kings
PBKS would be pleased with their performance as they fought hard to get into the Bengaluru match against RCB.However, there are some issues. Shikhar Dhawan had to play the anchor position cautiously since wickets were dropping often, but he was obliged to bat within himself and was unable to advance.
Despite getting starts, Jitesh Sharma, Liam Livingstone, and Prabhsimran Singh were unable to convert these into significant runs. Shashank Singh’s late burst provided them with the necessary finish, although they had hoped for more at the bat. An important fielding error—Bairstow letting Kohli off Curran in the second ball—turned out to be a game-changing stroke of luck as Kohli unleashed his inner chaser to lead RCB nearly to victory.
They will be looking to have a solid encounter against LSG to boost their confidence after Rahul Chahar was dismissed for 16 runs in the opening over and Harshal Patel failed to deliver in a ground he knows well.

On a Lucknow pitch, teams would want to bat first. The pitch grew slower during the game last season, making pursuing quite challenging. The temperature will be between 36 and 22 degrees, and the weather will be warm. Dew won’t be an issue in the contest because of the high temperature.
In Lucknow, the surface is probably going to be slow again. Since the previous IPL, not many international games have been played here. The wicket is probably going to be slow again, with spinners posing the most threat. It might be quite difficult to chase a score of about 170.
