Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings Predictions

The Super Giants lost their opener against Rajasthan Royals by 20 runs. After beating the Capitals in their opener, the Kings suffered a four-wicket loss at the hands of the Royal Challengers Bangalore and have lost three of their last four IPL matches.

Lucknow Super Giants’ KL Rahul has scored 101, 86 & 58 in his last 5 innings.
Lucknow Super Giants’ Nicholas Pooran scored 64* off 41 balls in the loss to the Royals.
Punjab Kings’ Sam Curran scored 63 in the win over the Capitals.

Head-to-Head

The Super Giants have won two of the three matches they have played against the Punjab Kings, who have won one match.

Lucknow Super Giants Form

The Super Giants bowlers were punished in their IPL opener against the Rajasthan Royals, and their batters were unable to pick up the pieces.

The Royals piled up 193/4 off their 20 overs, despite an incredible spell from Krunal Pandya (4-0-19-0, econ 4.75).

The Super Giants were 11/3 in the fourth over before KL Rahul (58 off 44 balls) and Nicholas Pooran (64* off 41 balls) got the chase back on track, only to end 20 runs short on 173/6 off their 20 overs.

Lucknow Super Giants Team News

The Super Giants need their bowlers and the rest of their top-order batters to contribute if they are going to pick up enough wins to hit the playoffs.

Punjab Kings Form

The Kings picked up a great win after chasing the Capitals’ target of 175, but couldn’t keep the RCB batters in check in their second match.

Punjab Kings scored 176/6 off their 20 overs after Shikhar Dhawan (45 off 37 balls) got the innings off to a good start.

RCB chased their target down with four balls to spare, despite excellent bowling from Kagiso Rabada (2/23) and Harpreet Brar (2/13).

Punjab Kings Team News

The Punjab Kings need some big contributions with the bat from their top- and middle-order.

Verdict

Lucknow Super Giants v Punjab Kings

I am backing Lucknow Super Giants to win. I am also backing KL Rahul to top score for Lucknow Super Giants.

Sam Curran is a good bet to top score for the Punjab Kings.
