Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants Team Preview

Punjab Kings

In this year’s event, Punjab Kings will be optimistic of earning another victory over Lucknow Super Giants. With Shikhar Dhawan back in the lineup, they appear to be a lot tougher with the bat.

England international all-rounder Sam Curran has taken over as captain for Shikhar Dhawan in the last two games, but the left-handed opener is scheduled to return from injury for this encounter. With Kagiso Rabada ruled out due to a chronic niggle, we expect Prabhsimran Singh to be dropped from the squad.

Lucknow Super Giants

The Lucknow Super Giants have a solid team, and the return of Mark Wood will help them. They will travel to Mohali with the expectation of winning.

Quinton de Kock is still struggling to break into the squad, and his inclusion in this game would be surprising. The Super Giants have a stable lineup, with batsmen and bowlers all knowing their duties. Mark Wood is expected to replace Naveen-ul-Haq.

Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium Mohali

According to the statistics, fielding first does not provide a significant advantage, but more teams win this way than batting first in T20s at this stadium. The decision to field first is expected to be made by both captains.

Despite the cloud cover during the game, the temperature will remain in the high 20s from beginning to end, with moisture no more than 50%.

The average first-inning score on this field is 164, but we anticipate better totals in this game. There will be plenty of speed on the surface for quick bowlers.
