The 11th match of IPL 2024 will be played between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Ekana Cricket Stadium. Talking about this match, both the teams will come to play in this match after losing their previous match. Punjab Kings have played two matches so far this season where they won one and lost one. Punjab had lost by 4 wickets in their last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Talking about Lucknow, they have played only one match so far this season, where they had to face defeat by 20 runs against Rajasthan. In such a situation, when both the teams come to play in this match, they will try to win at any cost. Now what will be the playing XI of both the teams for this match is a big question.
LSG will have quality spinners like Krunal Pandya and Ravi Bishnoi in the playing XI. But given the few left-handers in the opposition batting order and the slow track in Lucknow, LSG may include an off-spinner in the XI. In such a situation, they can also use Krishnappa Gautam as an impact player.
Marcus Stoinis is going through poor form these days and has also been dropped from Australia’s central contract for the upcoming season. However, this veteran all-rounder can do anything on his day and it is expected that the Lucknow team will continue to repose faith in him in the coming matches also.
PBKS (Punjab Kings)
Talking about Punjab Kings, Jonny Bairstow has failed to perform well in both the matches by scoring 9 and 8 runs respectively. In such a situation, PBKS can exclude Bairstow in this match and include Sikandar Raza in the team, which will give them the option of an additional spinner, and his batting will strengthen the middle order. Prabhsimran Singh can open with captain Dhawan.
