Pre-Match Analysis:

Lucknow Super Giants earned a hard-fought thrilling one-wicket away victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday to script their 3rd win in this tournament. Their bowlers were taken for cleaners and in response their batters gave a perfect reply, as a result, they steered home through a bye on the final ball of the match. Overseas stars Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran wreak havoc, scoring 127 runs between them in just 49 balls. They are using Amit Mishra sensibly as their impact player which is giving better results for them. They make the most of the home conditions to their favor and they have a 100 percent win record there. Mark Wood has been phenomenal with the ball and threatening the batters with his express pace. Win here will take them to the top of the standings.

Punjab Kings who won their first two matches purely on the merit of their impressive batting show lost their following two games against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans due to a bad display of batting. Prabhsimran Singh bagged back-to-back ducks which hampered their starts in the powerplay. Shikhar Dhawan had a rare failure against Gujarat Titans which is the main reason for their loss. Nathan Ellis who was doing well has to make a way for reputed seamer Kagiso Rabada. Liam Livingstone who has already joined the squad is still doubtful for this match. The most expensive player Sam Curran is yet to make a big impression.
