LSG vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction: Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings Playing 11 Updates & Fantasy Picks Details

Lucknow Super Giants will square off against the Punjab Kings in the 11th match of IPL 2024 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The home team are coming off a 20-run loss to the Rajasthan Royals, while Punjab lost their second game to Royal Challengers Bangalore by four wickets.

Barring Krunal Pandya, all the Lucknow bowlers leaked runs and looked ineffective against Rajasthan. In the absence of Mark Wood and David Willey, Lucknow's pace battery looks thin with the likes of Mohsin Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Yash Thakur expected to do the heavy lifting.

Fighting for a place in the upcoming T20 World Cup team, Ravi Bishnoi too looked ordinary in the team's tournament opener.

Captain Rahul, who has decided to play the wicketkeeper-batter's role keeping the T20 World Cup in mind, made 58 in his comeback match and would be looking to build on that.

Rahul would be hoping his opening partner Quinton de Kock returns to his belligerent best against Punjab after missing out against Royals. The team is banking on the likes of Devdutt Padikkal, Ayush Badoni, Deepak Hooda, and Krunal to deliver down the order.

Punjab, on the other hand, have a 50-50 record so far, winning one and losing one. The Shikhar Dhawan-led team needs more fluency in the powerplay and that is bound to come if Jonny Bairstow gets going after failing in the first two matches.

Dhawan, who only plays IPL to IPL, needs to up his strike rate going forward. He himself admitted to batting a bit "slowly" against Bangalore.

Prabhsimran Singh, who came of age last season, hasn't been able to capitalise on his starts yet. While all-rounder Sam Curran has shown his prowess with the bat in the two games, the left-arm seamer has been wayward with the ball.
