The 21st match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 will see the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) lock horns against the Punjab Kings (PBKS). Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow will be hosting this contest on Saturday (April 16).

LSG have played four games so far, winning three and losing one. They faced the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their last game and beat them in a thriller of a contest.

The bowlers struggled to keep a check on the scoring rate as RCB posted 212 on the board. Chasing a mammoth total, half-centuries from Marcus Stoinis (65) and Nicholas Pooran (62) helped them take the game deep. The game went down to the last ball and LSG held their nerves to win the game by one wicket. They will be looking to carry forward the winning momentum.

Punjab Kings, on the other hand, won their first two games before losing their next two fixtures. They faced the Gujarat Titans in their last outing and suffered a loss.

Matthew Short top-scored with 36 as contributions from the middle-order batters helped them score 153 in 20 overs. The bowlers picked up four wickets and tried their best, but failed to defend the total as the Titans chased it down with one ball to spare. PBKS will be hoping to bounce back when they take on LSG.
