28.04.2023 - 07:55 sports.ndtv.com

Lucknow Super Giants take on Punjab Kings in a crucial mid table clash in the Indian Premier League on Friday. Midway through the season, both teams have won four games from a possible seven, with LSG ahead due to a superior net run-rate.

However, LSG suffered a defeat in their previous outing, losing to Gujarat Titans, following an inexplicable batting performance.

Having said that, LSG could possibly make a few rotations in their playing XI, with Quinton de Kock most likely to play his first game of the season.

Here's what we think could be LSG's playing XI vs PBKS: Captain KL Rahul's strike rate became the talking point again as his team failed to chase down 136, despite being in a commanding position.
