Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be looking for a maiden win of the IPL 2024 season when they host Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Saturday, March 30.
KL Rahul-led Lucknow suffered a 20-run defeat while chasing 194 against Rajasthan Royals in their opening game. KL Rahul and Nicholas Pooran recorded brilliant fifties but the likes of Devdytt Padikkal and Quinton de Kock struggled to contribute against the Royals.
Punjab Kings kicked off their IPL 2024 campaign with an impressive four-wicket win against Delhi Capitals but failed to defend 176 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last match. LSG recorded 257 runs when both teams last faced each other in the IPL 2023 and are favourites in the upcoming clash with home advantage.
