The MCA Stadium pitch is a little slower, with the ball bouncing a little off the surface. With the new ball, the pacers have plenty of swing to keep the batters on their toes. Although the dew factor has made it tough for the spinners to grip the ball in the evening games, they will have a say in the middle overs. The pitch may slow down as the contest develops, but dew in the second innings could neutralise it. Although both IPL sides will like to chase, batting first isn’t necessarily a terrible option. A score of 160-170 should be achievable, with wickets in hand being critical.

On April 29th, these two teams will face off in the 42nd match of the Indian Super League (IPL) in Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune. Punjab Kings are currently in sixth position, while Lucknow Super Giants are currently in fourth position in the Indian Super League standings.
It’s been a mixed performance from Punjab so far, winning 4 and losing 4, but this tournament is now reaching a stage where they will need to push hard to stay in contention for a finish in the top four. The 9-wicket humiliating loss against Delhi would have dented the confidence of the team but they showed great character in the next game against Chennai and took them down in a pulsating contest.
The inconsistent nature of their batting is something they will like to fix otherwise individually, they are packed with some devastating batters. The bowling of Punjab was looking slightly undercooked earlier but the decision to blood Sandeep Sharma and Rishi Dhawan in the last match provided them with great balance.
Lucknow though are a team they need to handle with care. Despite being a new franchise, they have managed to find the right combination and the winning formula, however, of late, there have been loopholes in their gameplay as well. The batting appears to be overdependent on KL Rahul, and his performance solely is driving that department.
As a team, it’s never a good idea to be reliant on one individual and hence the likes of Quinton de Kock, Manish Pandey and Marcus Stoinis will have to come up with more decisive knocks. KL Rahul will have mixed emotions about leading a new team against his previous team that he built, and let’s see how he fares as a batter and captain.

Top Picks from PBKS vs LKN for Dream11 Fantasy Team:
Jonny Bairstow has looked a shadow of his former self thus far in the IPL 2022 for the Punjab Kings. Bairstow, on the other hand, is one of the most explosive batters in the world, and his intent is crucial. The Englishman is undoubtedly one to watch in this encounter, given his ability against both pace and spin.
Quinton de Kock has been in good form for the Lucknow Super Giants, but he hasn’t been on fire recently. The southpaw is one of the best openers in the game, and he’d love to get one over in this match. De Kock is a must-have in your PBKS versus LKN Dream11 fantasy team, even if KL Rahul is also good possibilities.
Jason Holder is one of the top all-around players in the world, and his experience helps him. He’s been a revelation with the ball, particularly in the death overs, but his batting brilliance has yet to emerge. Holder is a good addition to your PBKS versus LKN Dream11 fantasy team.
Arshdeep Singh has been the best of the Punjab pacers, making effective use of his variations and tactical knowledge. Arshdeep has been superb in death overs, despite not picking up many wickets, and it should serve him well ahead of the contest.
