LSG vs PBKS Match Preview – IPL 2024, Match 11
Lucknow Super Giants
After losing the first match, LSG will look forward to winning their second match. The team led by KL Rahul has powerful opening partners. The trade of Avesh Khan for Devdutt Padikkal gives extra depth to the team’s batting line-up. Finishers in the form of Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran make them a fiery team.
The team boasts a decent bowling unit with pace attack led by Naveen-ul-Haq and Mohsin Khan. Although both the bowlers went for an economy above 10, the duo managed to take wickets at regular intervals.
LSG Probable Playing-11
KL Rahul (c), Quinton de Kock, Devdutt Padikkal, Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Yash Thakur, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mohsin Khan.
Punjab Kings
The Kings have a good batting line-up and are heavily dependent on their overseas player. Despite a great finish by Shashank Singh in the last match, the team was not able to pick up the victory. Apart from Kagiso Rabada and Harpreet Brar, no other bowler was effective. The team bought Harshal Patel in the mini-auction but he has still not proved his worth.
PBKS will also be looking to secure the win and move up in the points table.
