IPL match 13 is going to be played against Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants which is going to be a good clash between two quality teams where both of the teams are entering into the then match with a win on their side. Lucknow has played two games where they have won one and lost one though they tried their best to attain that match, too but couldn't get well executed. Here Punjab was given only one match and that, too they played in a dominating style. 

Head-to-headlight cons of bowling in Punjab side because they came backable to defend the big target and won the match by mere 11 runs, so there should be a slight adjustment in the bowling side. Lucknow has a balanced team but goes expensive at certain time. Their middle order  they have is such an insane one, with Mitchell Marsh and Pooran smashing the bowlers out of the park giving a scary night for the bowlers. Though LSG has the upper hand against their head-to-head contest Punjab would also have a great chance of coming back to trim down the tally between them.
