LSG will host PBKS in the 11th match of the IPL 2024. The match will be played at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow and will start at 7:30 PM IST on March 30.
Pitch Report:
The surface in Lucknow is likely to be sluggish again. There have not been many international games played here as well since last IPL. The wicket is likely to be sluggish again, with spinners being the major threat. A score of around 170 can be very tough to chase.

Stats that Matter for Today’s Match Prediction
LSG Key Players
- KL Rahul - KL Rahul has been one of the most consistent performers in IPL. Year after year, KL Rahul has piled on runs for his team. He got his IPL 2024 campaign off to a great start as he scored a brilliant 58 against RR.
- Nicholas Pooran - Pooran has taken his game to another level in recent times. In whatever tournaments he has played since last IPL, he has performed admirably well. He put on a show against RR and played a magnificent innings of 64 in 41 balls.
- Krunal Pandya – Krunal Pandya can be more than handy on the Lucknow surface. Being a spinner, his four overs will be valuable for LSG. He was the most economical bowler against RR and gave away just 19 runs in 4 overs. He is expected to create a lot of problems for PBKS batters. Also, he can chip in with handy runs down the order.
- Ravi Bishnoi - Bishnoi was taken for plenty against RR, but the conditions in Lucknow will help him get into the groove. Bishnoi has been a trump card for LSG in middle overs and he’ll being looking to emulate his performance of last season this year too.
PBKS Key Players
- Shikhar Dhawan - Dhawan is the most important player in the PBKS lineup. If PBKS have to win the tournament, Dhawan will have to be at the peak of his prowess. The veteran got off to a good start to the tournament and played a brilliant hand of 45 against RCB.
- Liam Livingstone - Yes, Liam Livingstone is inconsistent but if he has a good day, he will ensure that PBKS end up on a winning note. He brings so much quality to the table but it is a shame that he has not been able to light up the IPL as expected. However, he is working on his weakness and PBKS will hope that he finds form soon.
- Kagiso Rabada - Rabada has been a consistent performer for PBKS. He has been mighty consistent but unfortunately, he has not got much support from the other end. Rabada will have a big responsibility on his shoulders to get early wickets for LSG. He picked two wickets for 23 runs against RCB.
- Harpreet Brar - Brar was magnificent against RCB and picked two wickets for just 13 runs. He will enjoy the conditions in Lucknow and might well turn out to the match winner for PBKS.
