The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are set to lock horns in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Saturday, April 15. The LSG vs PBKS match will take place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
The Super Giants, led by KL Rahul, have won three out of their four matches and have a net run rate of +1.048. They will go into the game after beating Faf du Plessis’ Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by one wicket.
The Kings, on the other hand, started their campaign with wins over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). But they now need to get back to winning ways after losing to the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Gujarat Titans.
