The excitement of IPL 2024 will reach Lucknow on Saturday. The home team will clash with Punjab Kings. Lucknow Super Giants had to face defeat in the first match against Rajasthan Royals. In such a situation, the team would like to return to the winning track on home ground. On the other hand, Punjab team, coming after losing to RCB, will also be looking for its second win of this season.
Both Lucknow and Punjab teams have plenty of players who can make a splash in this format. In such a situation, selecting 11 players for the Dream-11 team must be finding it a very difficult task for you too. Let us solve this problem of yours and tell the names of those eleven players who can open the lock of your destiny.
Pitch Report
This match will be played at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium located in Lucknow, which is generally considered good for bowling. Given the aggressive attitude of the batsmen in recent times, the bowlers are unlikely to be able to dominate much. Dew’s role can be important in the match to be held in the evening. Especially both teams can depend a lot on spin bowling.
Weather Forecast
The sky will be clear in Lucknow on Saturday, March 30 and there is no possibility of rain. The humidity level will be around 38 percent and the temperature will be around 37 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow at a speed of 16 km/hour in Lucknow during the match.
Match Prediction
So far in the IPL, Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings have come face to face a total of 3 times, out of which Lucknow has won twice and Punjab once. Since the role of spin bowling can be very important in this match, the playing eleven of Lucknow and their bench strength in spin bowling also looks much better. This time, Lucknow will probably not shy away from using Amit Mishra as an impact player. If Punjab has to win the match then the batting will have to perform better than average.
Lucknow Super Giants can field with these players
This time also captain KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock can open the innings for Lucknow Super Giants. Nicholas Pooran can come up to bat in the middle order. Devdutt Padikkal, Ayush Badoni and Deepak Hooda will be strengthening the middle order batting. The team will have 2 excellent all-rounders in the form of Marcus Stoinis and Krunal Pandya. Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen Ul-Haq and Mohsin Khan can handle the bowling.
Punjab Kings can field with these players
There is hardly any change in the playing eleven of Punjab Kings. Captain Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow can handle the responsibility of opening. The burden of batting in the middle order may be on the shoulders of Prabhsimran Singh, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma and Shashank Singh. Kagiso Rabada, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh and Rahul Chahar can handle the burden of bowling.
