Topmost Picks for LSG vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Lucknow Super Giants

• KL Rahul – The skipper has not been at his best as yet in this tournament but we expect him to start producing some big scores for Lucknow Super Giants over the coming games.
• Mark Wood – The right-arm fast bowler is yet to go wicketless in the IPL 2023 and also produced a maiden in the 13th over of the last match to Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis.

Top Picks – Punjab Kings

• Shikhar Dhawan – After successive scores of 86 not out and 99 not out, the captain made his first single-figure score of the competition on Thursday. He will be keen to bounce back with a big score in this match.
• Kagiso Rabada – The South African pace bowler became the quickest bowler to reach 100 IPL wickets when he dismissed Wriddhiman Saha against Gujarat Titans.

LSG vs PBKS Probable Winners:

With Punjab Kings losing all their matches and Lucknow Super Giants beaten in their last two games, this fixture is incredibly important for both teams. Punjab Kings came within one ball of beating Mumbai Indians but they have been unable to score runs at a quick enough rate throughout their team. We think that Lucknow Super Giants have the batting firepower to win and are backing them to get the victory in this game. Considering the team combination, Lucknow Super Giants is expected to win this match.
