IPL 2022, PBKS VS LSG: Predicted Playing XIs, Fantasy XI, Predicted Winner

PBKS vs LSG, the 42nd game of Tata IPL 2022, is scheduled to be played at MCA Stadium in Mumbai from 7:30 PM IST on 29 April 2022.

Team Updates:

Punjab Kings has had a topsy turvy journey in the tournament so far. They have won 4 and lost 4 in the 8 games. In their previous game, they held their nerves to triumph against CSK. They would be hoping to go on a winning streak finally in IPL 2022 to secure their place in the playoffs. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants have looked composed as a team and sit at 3rd position in the points table with 5 wins in 8 games.

Mayank Agarwal’s inconsistent run in the tournament has been Punjab’s biggest worry. However, Shikhar Dhawan’s return to form provides them with a bit of confidence at the top of their innings. Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma have looked in good touch. Arshdeep Singh and Kagiso Rabada have been fabulous with their death bowling, but they do lack a wicket-taking option in the middle overs.

On the other hand, KL Rahul has attained red-hot form in IPL 2022 with two centuries to his name so far. LSG’s middle-order has delivered at crucial junctures in the earlier games, but it has looked placid in the last couple of games. Deepak Hooda and co need to step up in the middle overs for Super Giants. Lastly, their bowling unit has somehow found ways to keep the opponent under control, and the management would be hoping that it stays like this in IPL 2022.

Who do you think will have the upper hand in the PBKS vs LSG clash?
