Lucknow though are coming in after a really tight win against the Royal Challengers and will be very confident with how their batting line-up has been turning out for them.

LSG vs PBKS Key Players

Shikhar Dhawan

Despite questions over his strike rate, Shikhar Dhawan has shown the value of his role as an anchor as he single-handedly kept Punjab alive with one of the greatest knocks in the IPL. He remains very consistent, and that could help keep Punjab solid from one end.

Kyle Mayers

With his explosive hitting and medium pace up front, Kyle Mayers has made himself a tough candidate to leave out. He gives the Lucknow management a happy headache with Quinton De Kock coming back, leaving Lucknow wondering who to leave out.
