PBKS vs LSG Match Prediction & Analysis The competition has hit the roof in the Indian Premier League 2025, and the outcome of the next few games will decide the qualifiers for the playoffs. The Punjab Kings will look to take a step closer to the playoffs as they take on the Lucknow Super Giants in the 54th game. The Punjab Kings defeated the Chennai Super Kings in the last game. The Lucknow Super Giants will be under pressure after losing against the Mumbai Indians in their last match.   The Lucknow Super Giants have struggled with their consistency. They have lost the last three out of four games and seem to have lost steam at the most crucial time this season. The Punjab Kings have their batsmen in good form and shall look to build on that advantage. It is a must-win game for the Super Giants to keep hopes alive for the next round, and it will be interesting to see if they match up to the challenge. TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Shreyas Iyer will be confident heading into this game. The side defeated the Chennai Super Kings in the last game by 4 wickets. The batting lineup has done well in the last few games, and the side will look to bank on its strengths. Iyer would like the players to take inspiration from their earlier win against the Super Giants and seal a berth for themselves in the playoffs.   Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya have been a formidable opening pair this season, and the team expects them to deliver an electrifying start. Shreyas Iyer played a match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs in the middle order with Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh. The side will also like quick runs in the lower middle order from Josh Inglis, Suryansh Shedge, and Marco Jansen.   On the bowling front, the team expects early strikes from Arshdeep Singh and Marco Jansen. Azmatullah Omarzai leaked runs in the last game, and he will look to avoid those mistakes and keep the scoring under check in the middle overs with Harpreet Brar. Yuzvendra Chahal has bowled match-winning spells and will look to deliver a strong show along with Suryansh Shedge. Lucknow Super Giants Preview Rishabh Pant’s team finds itself in a spot of bother. They went down against the Mumbai Indians by 54 runs in the last game. The side has dropped to the sixth position on the points table and needs a win to keep hopes alive. They suffered a big loss against the Punjab Kings earlier this season. Pant struggles with his form and must lead from the front in this must-win game.   The team needs a strong start from Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh, as early wickets have hurt them this season. Nicholas Pooran is the key player at No. 3 and must build partnerships with Rishab Pant and Ayush Badoni. David Miller is one of the best finishers in this format, and he will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order with Abdul Samad and Ravi Bishnoi.   The bowlers have struggled this season, and the team needs a good spell with the new ball from Manank Yadav and Prince Yadav. Ravi Bishnoi is the star bowler in the team, and he will look to contain the batters in the middle overs with Digvesh Singh Rathi. The team expects good spells in the supporting role from Avesh Khan and Markram. Weather Conditions There will be clear skies over Dharamshala, and we will see excellent batting conditions. There is little margin of error for the bowlers on this track as batsmen can play their strokes freely. The side batting first will be happy with 180 runs on the board, with the average first-innings score being 157 runs. PBKS vs LSG Pitch Report HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala, does offer something for the fast bowlers. The ball moves here, and it can create doubts among the batsmen. However, stroke players have done well due to the smaller size of the ground. Spinners must bowl tight lines, as the ball doesn’t turn here as much on other tracks in the country. Toss: To Bat The side batting first has an advantage on this track. The team that batted first won five times in the last six games. The ball moves late in the evening, making run chases difficult. The side winning the toss wouldn’t hesitate to bat first on this surface.

Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, India π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : Indian Premier League 2025 CSK’s big test to rewind the magic of the past Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. CSK vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis It is the deciding stage in the Indian Premier League 2025, where the result of the next few games will decide the playoff berths. The Chennai Super Kings have their last shot at the playoffs as they take on the Punjab Kings in the 49th match. The Super Kings went down against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game. The Punjab Kings shared points with the Kolkata Knight Riders after rain washed away play.  The Chennai Super Kings have struggled with their form this season. They have lost seven out of nine games. The batting lineup has looked rusty, and the bowling attack hasn’t troubled the opponents. The Punjab Kings are in good form and have won the last four out of five games against the Super Kings. It remains to be seen if the Super Kings can win here and keep their hopes alive. TEAMS PREVIEW Chennai Super Kings Preview MS Dhoni’s team went down by 5 wickets against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game. It is becoming one of their worst seasons, with the team sitting at the bottom of the points. They still have a technical chance of reaching the playoffs and need a big win in this game. Dhoni will expect a strong show from his players as the Punjab Kings are in good form this season.  The top order has been a pain for the team this season. Shaik Rasheed and Ayush Mhatre must deliver a good start in this game and lay a strong platform. The team expects runs in the middle order, and Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, and Dewald Brevis will look to do well. Shivam Dube has batted well in the lower middle order and shall look to add quick runs with Deepak Hooda and Dhoni.  The bowling attack has struggled this season. Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kamboj will look to put up a good show with the new ball, as the Punjab Kings have an explosive opening pair. The team needs tight spells from Noor Ahmed and Ravindra Jadeja in the middle overs. Sam Curran and Matheesha Pathirana must do well in the supporting role and avoid leaking runs like the earlier game. Punjab Kings Preview Shreyas Iyer and his team would have been upset to have shared the points with the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last game. They had a big score on the board, but rain played spoilsport in the second half. Iyer would like to exploit CSK’s lack of form and win this game by a big margin to improve their position on the points table.  Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya put up a 120-run stand in the last game, and the team expects a strong start from this pair. Shreyas Iyer is batting well in the middle order, and he will look to add runs with Josh Inglis and Nehal Wadhera. Glenn Maxwell, Shashank Singh, and Marco Jansen add firepower to the batting lineup, making it strong.  The bowling attack will look to exploit the poor form of CSK batters. Arshdeep Singh and Azmatullah Omarzai will look to get the early breakthroughs in this game. Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal are in good form, and the team expects them to do well. Harpreet Brar and Maxwell add bowling options for the team.  Weather Conditions It will be a hot and humid evening in Chennai with clear skies. The wicket will be challenging to bat on as the ball stops on the batsmen. We have seen an average first innings score of less than 160 runs, and the team batting first will be happy to have 160 on the board. CSK vs PBKS Pitch Report MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, balances it out between the bat and the ball in T20 cricket. Batsmen have to spend their time at the crease to score runs here. Fast bowlers who hit the deck hard have done well on this surface. Spinners enjoy the slowness on the track as this allows them to experiment with their variations. Toss: To Bowl The wicket has slowed down since the start of the tournament. It is a difficult wicket to set up a big total as batsmen struggle to time the ball. The team that chased the score in the last two games easily won. The side winning the toss won’t hesitate to bowl first on this wicket.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :Β Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 26, Saturday π“πˆπŒπ„ : 19:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : Indian Premier League, 2025 The last time Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings faced off at Eden Gardens was in IPL 2024, where Punjab beat the home side by chasing down 262 in 18.4 overs. Quetta Gladiators vs Karachi Kings TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. KKR vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on Punjab Kings (PK) in the 44th match of IPL 2025 this Saturday night in Kolkata. KKR have struggled with form this season, picking up only three wins from eight games, putting them at seventh in the standings. Punjab are doing better, with five wins and three losses, holding fifth place. They’ve already taken down KKR once this year and look better placed to do it again. TEAMS PREVIEW Kolkata Knight Riders Preview It’s been a tough ride for defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders so farβ€”just three wins in eight games, five losses, and they’re now sitting at seventh on the table. They’ve now lost back-to-back games for the first time this season, the latest being a heavy 39-run defeat to Gujarat Titans at home. The team looks worn down. The batting unit hasn’t done them any favors. Apart from skipper Ajinkya Rahane, the rest have been patchy. Quinton de Kock was replaced by Rahmanullah Gurbaz last match, but the Afghan keeper could only chip in with 1 on his season debut. Sunil Narine’s form at the top has been unpredictable, and both Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh are having a hard time adjusting to the slower tracks. Andre Russell has hit a few out of the park, but overall hasn’t looked anywhere close to his usual self. Ramandeep Singh, given multiple shots, still hasn’t made any real impact. One of the few positives is Angkrish Raghuvanshi. The youngster has scored 197 runs from 7 innings, averaging 38.71 with a strike rate of 149.24. But KKR’s habit of shifting him around the order hasn’t helped with stability. The bowling has fared a bit better. Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora have handled the early spells decently, taking 20 wickets between them. The spin trio of Varun Chakaravarthy, Sunil Narine, and Moeen Ali have managed to apply some control through the middle overs. Russell, despite his quiet run with the bat, might still be useful with his cutters on this pitch. Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings are hanging in thereβ€”five wins, three losses, and they’re currently fifth. In their last game, they went down by 7 wickets at home to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, a team they had beaten away not long before. At the top, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh have been aggressive early, but haven’t quite strung it together game after game. Shreyas Iyer has been steady at number three, piling up 263 runs from eight innings with a strike rate of 185.21. He’s looked assured and will be central to their batting again. Nehal Wadhera has chipped in nicely through the middle overs, striking at 146. His knocks haven’t been long, but they’ve come at the right moments. Josh Inglis replaced Glen Maxwell but hasn’t offered much with the bat. Given the Eden surface, Punjab may rethink that swap just for the added spin option Maxwell brings. Marcus Stoinis is hit-and-miss but dangerous when he connects. Shashank Singh has quietly done a good job closing games and can flip the momentum late. Weather Conditions Eden Gardens produced its trademark pitch last game – good for runs but with some natural slowness. Expect more of the same, with the ball gripping the pitch and batters needing to time their shots carefully. Slow bowlers should play a major role, putting extra importance on scoring freely during field restrictions. Kolkata’s weather looks partly cloudy with high humidity in the evening hours.  No rain is predicted, meaning we’ll likely see a complete 40 overs of action. Eden Gardens has produced an average first-innings score of 167 runs. During this year’s IPL, four matches have been played here with just one offering a true batting paradise – the remaining three surfaces favored slower conditions while remaining decent for scoring. Should we get another slow track like last game’s, teams will likely target 180-190 to post a competitive total. Toss: To Bat Three of the four matches played at Eden Gardens in IPL 2025 have been won by the team batting first, which clearly shows that batting first is more advantageous here.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :Β Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 18, Friday π“πˆπŒπ„ : 17:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : Indian Premier League 2025 Punjab Kings’ test to end the Chinnaswamy jinx  Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. RCB vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the midseason of the Indian Premier League 2025 and teams are fighting hard to improve their position on the points table. We expect a cracker of a contest where hosts Royal Challengers Bengaluru face the Punjab Kings in the 34th game. Both teams have 8 points after six games. A win here will take them to the top of the points table. The Royal Challengers defeated the Rajasthan Royals in their last game and look confident. The Punjab Kings will look to build on their momentum after a win against the Kolkata Knight Riders.  The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have won the last three games against the Punjab Kings, which will make the team confident. They play at home and know the conditions well on this wicket. The Punjab Kings have a poor record at this venue, which can play on their minds. Their batsmen struggled in the last game. Whether the Kings can overcome the odds and do well in this contest remains to be seen. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Rajat Patidar’s team has impressed everyone with its consistency and dominating performances this season. They defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last game by 9 wickets. It was an excellent show from the batting lineup as they clinically chased down the big total. Punjab Kings have done well this year, and Patidar would like his team to play aggressively and use the home advantage to move to the top spot on the points table.  Phillip Salt is taking on the bowlers aggressively and will look to deliver a strong start in this game with Virat Kohli. Devdutt Padikkal will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma. The side has depth in the batting lineup and expects runs from Tim David, Krunal Pandya, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.  Bhuvneshwar Kumar did well with the new ball in the last game and must get early breakthroughs with Yash Dayal. Krunal Pandya is troubling the batters, and he must keep up the pressure in the middle overs with Josh Hazlewood. The side expects good spells from Suyash Sharma and Liam Livingstone in the supporting role, as the Punjab Kings have good hitters. Punjab Kings Preview Shreyas Iyer will be proud of his bowlers and how they foxed the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last game. In a game where the batting lineup failed miserably, the bowling attack pulled a win out of thin air, winning the game by 16 runs. Iyer will expect a better show from his batsmen in this game. They have struggled against RCB, and Iyer would look to improve this record.  Priyansh Arya has been the leading batter for the team this season and must deliver a good start in this game with Prabhsimran Singh. Shreyas Iyer will look to anchor the innings and do well in the middle order with Josh Inglis and Nehal Wadhera. The team expects quick runs in the lower middle order from Glenn Maxwell, Suryansh Shedge, and Marco Jansen.  The bowling attack put up one of the best bowling performances in IPL history, and the team will be confident. Marco Jansen and Xavier Bartlett must get early breakthroughs to put the team in a strong position. Yuzvendra Chahal bowled a dream spell in the last game, and he will look to keep the scoring under check with Arshdeep Singh. Glenn Maxwell and Suryansh Shedge add balance to this attack.  Weather Conditions We expect another warm evening in Bengaluru. The flat wicket is easy for the batsmen. There is very little assistance for the bowlers. The average first innings score at this venue is 173 runs. The side batting first would need a minimum of 200 runs to feel safe on this track. A placid pitch, fast outfield, and shorter boundaries make M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, one of the best T20 venues in the world. We have seen several high-scoring encounters at this venue, and batters find it easy to play on this surface where there is little support for the bowlers. Toss: To Bowl The side chasing the score has won four out of the last five games. The surface has been slower than usual, and setting up a total here isn’t easy, as we see big run chases at this venue. Both teams would take a cue from their previous wins and opt to bowl first.

Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders​ TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. PBKS vs KKR Match Prediction & Analysis Match 31 of IPL 2025 has Punjab Kings (PK) facing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Chandigarh this Tuesday. Punjab have dropped to sixth after losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad, but they’re still viewed as one of the more dangerous sides this season because of their batting. KKR, last year’s winners, haven’t had the easiest run either, sitting even with three wins and three losses. Punjab will hope home conditions work in their favor, though KKR have enough in the tank to make this a tough one. TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings have had a decent run so farβ€”three wins, two losses, and they’re sitting sixth on the table. Their last outing was a wild one, losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets in a game that saw 491 runs scored. Punjab smashed 245-6 but still couldn’t drag it past the finish line, with Hyderabad chasing it down with nearly two overs to spare. That pitch in Hyderabad was an absolute belter, and Punjab won’t want to overthink that result. Up top, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh have been doing the job early, setting the tone in the powerplay. Shreyas Iyer has been rock solid at number three, hammering 250 runs in five knocks at a strike rate of 208.33. He’s looked in complete control and will be expected to carry that form forward. That said, not everything’s been smooth. Nehal Wadhera hasn’t quite found rhythm, and Glenn Maxwell has barely made a dent this season. Their lack of runs has made the middle overs a bit of a dead zone. Bringing Josh Inglis in could give the lineup a bit more bite. Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Kolkata Knight Riders haven’t managed back-to-back wins in IPL 2025, but they’ve avoided back-to-back defeats too. After three wins and three losses, they’ve been making smart adjustments along the way to stay in the fight. Their latest result β€” an 8-wicket thumping of Chennai Super Kings on their turf β€” pushed them up to fourth in the standings. The batting unit looks settled, though Quinton de Kock’s inconsistency hasn’t helped. Narine has made up for it with explosive starts, scoring at a rate of 190. Ajinkya Rahane, batting at No. 3, has been their most reliable contributor with 204 runs in six games at a strike rate of 154.54. A smart move last game was sending Rinku Singh in at No. 4 β€” something they should’ve done earlier. He’s much more impactful when he has enough deliveries to work with. On the flip side, Andre Russell is still looking for rhythm with the bat, and Ramandeep Singh has barely made a mark. Venkatesh Iyer had one decent knock but hasn’t done much otherwise. Weather Conditions The pitch at Mullanpur has been excellent for batting, particularly in the first half. The ball comes on nicely to the bat, and batters can hit through the line to get their boundaries. Spinners will come into play once the pitch slows down a little in the second half, but it won’t be too dramatic.  The weather in Mullanpur will be hot and hazy, and it won’t be easy on the players. There is no forecast of rain, so we will get a full match. In the two matches played at Mullanpur in IPL 2025, teams batting first have posted 205-4 and 219-6, respectively, and won the game quite comfortably in the end. Expect another high-scoring game with the team batting first eyeing a total of around 200-210 runs. Toss: To Bat Both the previous games of IPL 2025 held at Mullanpur, Chandigarh, have been won comfortably by the team batting first. This indicates that batting first is the safer option here.

Both teams are eager to rebound after recent losses, making this a crucial encounter for their standings in the tournament. PBKS started the season with two consecutive victories but faced a setback in their recent match against the Rajasthan Royals, losing by 50 runs. Despite the standout performance from Nehal Wadhera (62 off 41), the failure of the top order hampered Punjab Kings’ chances to continue the unbeaten run. The team aims to regain momentum in this fixture. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have played four matches in the IPL 2025 season, securing one win and suffering three losses. After the victory in the first game of the season against the Mumbai Indians, CSK has now lost the next three games against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Rajasthan Royals, and the Delhi Capitals. All three losses have come chasing the target. TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Priyansh Arya will open the innings with Prabhasimran Singh. Arya played a knock of 47 runs off 23 deliveries against Gujarat Titans while Singh scored a half-century (69 off 34) in the second game. PBKS’ skipper Shreyas Iyer will be the batter to watch out for.

But in the last game, he managed to score just 10 off 13 balls.  Maxwell scored 30 runs in the last game but has picked up two wickets with the ball so far. On the other hand, Stoinis has had a poor run with the bat and the ball this season. Arshdeep Singh will lead the bowling attack with Lockie Ferguson and Marco Jenson. Singh will be the bowler to watch out for. He has picked up 6 wickets in the three games. His economy is just below 10. Jansen has two wickets while Ferguson has three in two games. The PBKS bowlers are yet to show their strength. Chahal will be the lead spinner in the bowling attack. Chennai Super Kings Preview Just four matches into IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings have already rotated through 17 players, including all seven of their overseas options, as they continue to search for the right balance and a winning formula. Ruturaj Gaikwad will open the innings with Rachin Ravindra. Gaikwad has 121 runs in four games with two half-centuries at a strike rate of 155 – the highest among the batters. He will be the batter to watch out for. Ravindra has 109 runs in four games. Conway will come in at number three. He scored 13 runs in the last game.  Vijay Shankar will come in the middle with Ravindra Jadeja and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Shankar played a knock of 69 runs in the last game. Jadeja has been poor with the bat, posting 76 runs. He has just two wickets with the ball so far. MS Dhoni has 76 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 138. CSK is facing trouble with their super-sub Shivam Dube. Dube has just 64 runs in four innings. Noor Ahmed will lead the bowling attack with Matheesha Pathirana and Khaleel Ahmed. Noor has 10 wickets in four games at an average of 11.80 – the lowest among the bowlers. He will be the bowler to watch out for. Khalleel has also picked up 8 wickets at an average of 15. On the other hand, Pathirana has 5 wickets in three games. CSK spinners are yet to find their magic with Ashwin leading the attack. Weather Conditions The weather at Mullanpur, Chandigarh, is expected to be sunny on match day, with temperatures ranging between 19 and 37 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 8-14 km/h. Rain is expected with the lightning.  It is a batting-friendly pitch. As the game progresses and the pitch gets older, batsmen can play their shots comfortably.  PBKS vs CSK Pitch Report The game will be played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh, 7:30 p.m. onwards. The stadium has a capacity of 38,000 spectators. Toss: To Bowl In the last IPL season, five games were played at this venue. The results have favored the team chasing the target on three occasions.

Rajasthan Royals Preview Rajasthan Royals’ batting line-up has had a mixed start to IPL 2025, with a few players stepping up while others are still looking for form. Leading from the front, skipper Sanju Samson has been the most consistent performer so far. Across the three matches, he has scored 108 runs, including a fluent 66 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. In the past, Sanju Samson has dominated Arshdeep Singh, scoring 39 runs off 22 balls at a blazing strike rate of 177.27 without being dismissed, smashing 4 fours and 2 sixes. Another bright spot has been Dhruv Jurel, who impressed with a blistering 70-run knock against SRH. Jurel has accumulated 91 runs in three games and looks promising as a finisher who can change games single-handedly. Nitish Rana has made an immediate impact since joining the playing XI in the second match. He played a match-winning innings of 81 off just 36 balls against Chennai Super Kings, helping RR secure their first victory of the season. Wanindu Hasaranga will lead the bowling attack with Jofra Archer, Tushar Deshpande, and Maheesha Theeksana. Hasaranga has 5 wickets in two games. He picked up four wickets in the last game. He will be the bowler to watch out for. Deshpande picked up three wickets in the first game but remained wicketless in the next two games. Despite showing resilience against CSK, Rajasthan’s bowlers have overall struggled with consistency, particularly at the death, where they have leaked crucial runs. Weather Conditions The weather at Mullanpur, Chandigarh, is expected to be sunny on match day, with temperatures ranging between 19 and 37 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 8-14 km/h. Rain is expected with the lightning.  It is a batting-friendly pitch. As the game progresses and the pitch gets older, batsmen can play their shots comfortably. PBKS vs RR Pitch Report The game will be played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh, 7:30 p.m. onwards.

Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. LSG vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Punjab Kings (PK) in the 13th match of IPL 2025 in Lucknow. LSG recovered well from a disappointing start, securing a solid victory in their second outing. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, made a strong statement with a dominant performance in their opening game, proving they’re a team to watch this season. With both sides eager to build momentum, this contest is shaping up to be a high-intensity clash. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview After a heartbreaking 1-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals in their opening game, Lucknow Super Giants made a strong comeback by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad on their home turf. They restricted the Sunrisers to a modest 190-9 and chased it down in just 16.1 overs. Nicholas Pooran was the standout performer, hammering 70 off just 26 balls and putting the game beyond Hyderabad’s reach within the first 10 overs. He has been in red-hot form for LSG, with his last five scores reading 48*(26), 61 (27), 75 (29), 75 (30), and 70 (26). Mitchell Marsh is another key player to keep an eye on. He smashed 52 off 31 in the last match, setting the foundation for the chase. If LSG wants to keep the momentum going, both Pooran and Marsh need to fire. Rishabh Pant and David Miller haven’t made a huge mark yet, but they’ve spent enough time at the crease to suggest a big knock might be coming soon. Lucknow’s bowling unit was impressive in their last outing. Shardul Thakur has been a game-changer, already picking up six wickets in two games. Young pacer Prince Yadav held his own, conceding just 29 runs in four overs while picking up a wicket. Ravi Bishnoi remains a potent threat in the middle overs and can change the course of a match in no time. Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings have only played one game so far but made a strong statement in that outing. They took down Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, putting up a massive 243-5 and keeping the hosts to 232-5 in a high-scoring contest. Shreyas Iyer made an immediate impact for his new team, hammering an unbeaten 97 off just 42 balls. Priyansh Arya (47 off 23) and Shashank Singh (44* off 16) also made valuable contributions with the bat. Punjab’s batting lineup looks dangerous this season. With Shreyas at number three and the firepower of Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell in the middle order, they have a unit that can take apart any bowling attack. Shashank Singh, who played a quickfire knock in the opener, adds even more depth as a finisher. His ability to go hard from the start makes him a game-changer for Punjab. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium won’t be an outright belter but it would be good for batting like most Indian surfaces. However, Ekana does tend to slow down in the middle overs, which brings the spinners into the mix. If dew sets in, however, spinners might struggle to grip the ball and go for runs. The weather in Lucknow will be warm and humid, but since there is no sign of rain, we will have a full match. LSG vs PBKS Pitch Report The average first innings score at the Ekana Cricket Stadium is 166. Last season, the highest score posted at the venue was Kolkata Knight Riders’ 235-6 versus Lucknow Super Giants, a game they won by 98 runs. That, incidentally, was the only 200+ score achieved at Ekana in IPL 2024 across 14 innings. Toss: To Bowl Chasing might be the better option at the Ekana Cricket Stadium as batting becomes easier in the second innings when dew sets in. In IPL 2024, four of the seven games played at this venue were won by the chasing side.

TEAMS PREVIEW Gujarat Titans Preview Shubman Gill and his men would look to overcome their poor show last season. They struggled with their consistency and failed to reach the playoffs. The bowling attack had a poor season, and they have more teeth in the bowling attack this year. It is their home ground, and Gill would like to use the familiarity with the conditions and start the campaign with a win.  Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler are aggressive players, and the team expects them to deliver a flying start in this game. Sai Sudharsan, Shahrukh Khan, Mahipal Lomror, and Washington Sundar must steer the innings in the middle order and build partnerships. Glenn Phillips, Rashid Khan, and Rahul Tewatia are explosive batters, and they will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.  The bowling attack is strong this year, and the team expects early strikes from Kagiso Rabada and Mohammad Siraj. Rashid Khan is the key bowler for the team, and he will look to use the conditions to the advantage and do well in the middle overs with Washington Sundar. Mohammad Arshad Khan and Tewatia must do well in the supporting role.  Punjab Kings Preview The Punjab Kings have been the bottom hunters of the points table. They haven’t made the playoffs in the last 10 seasons. Shreyas Iyer, who led KKR to a title last year, comes in as skipper and will look to lift the team’s fortunes. It will be a tough challenge for them against the Gujarat Titans, and the team expects his team to play positively and earn their first points this season.  Prabhsimran Singh has done well for the team in the last couple of seasons, and he must deliver a good start with Vishnu Vinod. Shreyas Iyer must lead from the front in the middle order and build partnerships with Marcus Stoinis and Suryansh Shegde. Glenn Maxwell, Marco Jansen, and Shashank Singh must do the heavy lifting in the lower middle order and take the team to a big total.  There are big expectations from Marco Jansen and Arshdeep Singh, and the new-ball pair must deliver early breakthroughs as the Titans’ batters will come hard at them in the early overs. Yuzvendra Chahal must use his experience in the middle overs and do well with Kuldeep Sen. Stoinis, Maxwell, and Harpreet Brar add variety to the attack and must do well in the supporting role. Weather Conditions There will be clear skies over Ahmedabad, and we expect a warm and humid evening. The wicket is two-paced, and batsmen would have to be watchful. Spinners will likely enjoy the conditions in this game, as the dry surface would make the ball turn. The average first innings score is 170 runs, and the team batting first will target 200. GT vs PBKS Pitch Report Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, has a flat surface and quick outfield. Batsmen have done well, though the wicket can surprise them with its dual-paced nature. Batsmen who build their innings have been more successful here. Fast bowlers rely on their variations to earn rewards on this surface. It has been a happy hunting ground for the spinners as the ball can turn sharply and stop on the batsmen. Toss: To Bowl Setting a total on the wicket is challenging as teams have chased big scores comfortably. The side chasing the score has won the last four out of five games. Teams like chasing the score at this venue. The side winning the toss in this game would invite the opponent to bat first.

'I prefer Arshdeep over Siraj in the death because of...': RP Singh on India's fast-bowling combination in T20 World Cup | Cricket News

‘I prefer Arshdeep over Siraj in the death because of…’: RP Singh on India’s fast-bowling combination in T20 World Cup | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Former India pacer Rudra Pratap Singh believes that Punjab Kings didn’t utilise young Arshdeep Singh effectively during the recently concluded IPL. However, he thinks that the left-arm pacer can prove to be very effective during the death overs at the T20 World Cup, especially alongside Jasprit Bumrah.Arshdeep managed to secure 19 wickets from 14 games in IPL, but his economy rate of 10.03, largely due to facing ‘impact player’ onslaughts, left him somewhat disheartened.RP Singh, who was India’s bowling hero in the 2007 T20 World Cup in South Africa, stated his preference for Arshdeep over Mohammed Siraj for the upcoming tournament.“If we assess Arshdeep on the basis of his IPL performance, I think he hasn’t been utilised well,” RP Singh made these comments in response to a PTI query during a promotional event where the Indian team’s jersey was unveiled for the inaugural World Championship of Legends.“The utilisation of the bowlers also depends on their captain, in which conditions he uses them, in which situation he makes them bowl and how best that he thinks his bowler is.”RP Singh feels that the wicket at Nassau County will be on the slower side and suggests that Arshdeep, instead of bowling pacey length deliveries, should focus on using cutters effectively.“Talking about the length on the tracks in the USA during an early morning start, as per my understanding, there should be a bit of slowness in the wicket. So, the ideal length will be somewhere around just short of good length.“There will be not a lot of swing for the bowlers but the bowlers with variations, not only just yorkers but also slower ones, leg and off cutters. These deliveries will be utilised a bit more by Arshdeep, so the success rate will be automatically higher for him and that’s what I understand about the wickets in the US.”RP also believes that Jasprit Bumrah should ideally bowl three overs in the back-10, as it would apply significant pressure on the opposition batting unit.“Death bowling is really important in T20 cricket. Bumrah may bowl three overs in the death overs. He is our mainstay there. My preference alongside Bumrah in the death is Arshdeep over Siraj because of the variations he has. I think Siraj can be impactful in a game when he is bowling with the new ball. Otherwise, it should be Bumrah and Arshdeep.”Arshdeep’s left-arm action naturally creates challenging angles for right-handed batsmen, making him a crucial asset. Having another left-armer like Khaleel Ahmed in the World T20 reserves adds depth to the bowling unit.“Left arm pacers are always an advantage especially against right-handed batters. It is not like two or more left-arm seamers can’t play together. Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra and I have played in multiple games together.”For achieving the perfect balance, it’s crucial for Hardik Pandya to bowl his full quota of overs. This would provide the team with the flexibility to field three specialist spinners, potentially allowing Yuzvendra Chahal to join Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja in the playing eleven.“Hardik bowled in the IPL and bowled four overs so there’s no injury scare. Hardik’s bowling will be important and he will have to bowl all his quota of 4-overs. If Shivam Dube bowls too, then it will be an added advantage for India ahead.“Shivam may not play some matches initially but whenever he plays, he will perform well and score runs for India.”(With PTI inputs)
