Taking into consideration the above mentioned number of matches that they’ve played against each other in the past, there aren’t many head-to-head records with respect to these two teams.
Having said that, it is worth a mention that LSG had defeated PBKS by 20 runs back in the day. Another of those matches where their batting never turned up even in a below par run-chase, Punjab had failed to chase down a 154-run target on the back of losing wickets on a regular basis.
