Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will clash at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Saturday, March 30, for the eleventh match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024. With both teams tasting defeat in their previous outings, they are eager to turn the tide in the upcoming fixture.
In Lucknow’s opening game of the season, they lost to Rajasthan Royals, falling short by 20 runs of the target. Despite a valiant effort from skipper KL Rahul, who scored 58 runs, and vice-captain Nicholas Pooran, who contributed 64 runs, LSG couldn’t secure victory. While Rahul and Pooran kept LSG in the chase with their impressive batting display, the rest of the team’s batsmen struggled to make significant contributions to the total.
On the flip side, the Punjab-based franchise started their campaign with a victory in their opening game against Delhi Capitals, clinching a narrow win by four wickets at home. However, their momentum was short-lived as PBKS suffered a defeat in their second match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, losing by four wickets. Led by Shikhar Dhawan, PBKS will aim to bounce back from their recent setback and return to winning ways.
