Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings – Betting Tips & Match Prediction (IPL 2024)

• KL Rahul

In LSG’s last game against RR, KL Rahul showed exactly why he is one of the most dependable batters in the shortest format of the game. He played a sensible knock (58 runs off 44 balls) while wickets were falling at the other end. Rahul will be eager to prove his worth and retain his spot in the Indian T20 squad.

• Nicholas Pooran

Pooran is one of the most hard-hitting batters in the modern game. His quickfire 64 off 41 balls against RR almost won the game for LSG. Once he settles down at the crease, it will be next to impossible to get him out.

• Ravi Bishnoi

Last year was excellent for Ravi Bishnoi, with his string of good performances affording him the Indian selectors’ recognition. Even though he only managed to get 1 wicket in his previous outing, expect him to trouble the Punjab batters with his spin variations.

• Shikhar Dhawan

The flamboyant Dhawan is a bona fide IPL veteran. He is currently the second-highest runscorer of the tournament, with a staggering 6884 runs under his belt, including 50 fifties and 2 centuries. As he approaches the twilight phase of his career, Dhawan will be highly motivated to perform and help Punjab reach the playoffs.

• Harpreet Brar

In the two games that PBKS has played so far, Brar has been a revelation. He had a pretty average IPL last year, but this time around, he genuinely looks like a man on a mission. With playing conditions in Lucknow favouring spinners, Brar’s performance will surely have a huge impact on the game.

• Kagiso Rabada

Rabada finally looks like he has been hitting the right notes this year. After having a dismal season last time around, the Proteas pacer looks lethal in the powerplay and middle overs. Once he gets his rhythm right, it will be an uphill battle for opposition batters to face his deadly yorkers and bouncers.
