Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings Predictions

Home advantage and a bowler-friendly green-top give the Super Giants the upper-hand in this clash. Shreyas Iyer is in incredible form for the Kings, but the Super Giants’ have a powerful batting and bowling line-up, so I am backing them to make it two wins from three.

Lucknow Super Giants’ Nicholas Pooran has scored 58*, 42, 75 & 70 in his last 5 innings.
Lucknow Super Giants’ Mitchell Marsh has scored 72 & 52 in his last 2 innings.
Punjab Kings’ Shreyas Iyer has scored 56, 79, 45, 48 & 97* in his last 5 innings.
Punjab Kings’ Priyansh Arya scored 47 off 23 balls against the Titans.

Head-to-Head

The Super Giants have won three of their four matches against the Punjab Kings, including the last two in a row.

Lucknow Super Giants Form

After losing their opener against the Delhi Capitals, the Super Giants bounced back with a five-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Sunrisers made a good start to their chase but the Super Giants attack kept things tight at the end of their 20 overs. Shardul Thakur (4/34, econ 8.50) was the pick of the Super Giants bowlers.

Mitchell Marsh (52 off 31 balls) and Nicholas Pooran (70 off 26, S/R 269.23) got the innings off to a flier, adding 116 for the second wicket inside the first nine overs. The lower middle order saw them home for a five-wicket win with five wickets with 23 balls to spare.

Lucknow Super Giants Team News

The Super Giants will be hoping Aiden Markram and Rishabh Pant find form with the bat, as they have a power-packed line-up on paper but they have yet to fire as a unit.

Punjab Kings Form

After ending second-from-bottom last season, the Kings kicked-off their 2025 campaign with an 11-run win over the Gujarat Titans.

Shreyas Iyer played a phenomenal innings to set his side up for an explosive last five overs. Iyer ended not out on 97 off just 42 balls, including nine sixes, as the Kings posted 243/5 off their 20 overs.

The Titans put up a good chase but fell 11 runs short of their target. Arshdeep Singh (2/36, econ 9.00) put in a magnificent performance with the ball to steer his side to victory.

Punjab Kings Team News

Former Lucknow Super Giants batting star Marcus Stoinis should be key for the Kings in this match. Local knowledge of the ground and his former team-mates will be a factor in the Kings performance.

Verdict

Lucknow Super Giants v Punjab Kings - T20

I am backing Lucknow Super Giants to win. I am also backing Nicholas Pooran to top score for Lucknow Super Giants.

Shreyas Iyer is a good bet to top score for the Punjab Kings.
