Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings Team Preview
Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow Super Giants have only lost to Chennai Super Kings so far this season, and they are sure that they can win again in this game.
Quinton de Kock is likely to replace Kyle Mayers at the top of the lineup in this game despite the fact that Mayers started the tournament with high scores and hasn’t played a part in the last two games. We predict the Lucknow Super Giants to continue using the same players in spite of that alteration.
Punjab Kings
After losing their last two games, the Punjab Kings should never be written off. They have potent bowlers and hitters, therefore we anticipate that they will be competitive in this match.
Before their Thursday loss to Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings made two adjustments, welcoming back Bhanuka Rajapaksa and inserting Kagiso Rabada into the lineup. The players who were excluded were Nathan Ellis and Sikandar Raza.
