Punjab Kings will host Lucknow Super Giants in a return fixture less than a couple of weeks after their first Indian Premier League 2023 match in Lucknow. Slated to be played in Mohali, it will be Super Giants’ first-ever match in the city. That being said, a few of their top players have played a lot of IPL cricket at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium during their times with Kings.

All in all, these two teams will be locking horns against each other for the third time in the biggest T20 league around the globe. With both of them winning a match each thus far, it is difficult to pick a favourite among two teams who have won four and lost three out of their first seven IPL 2023 matches.
Speaking of their latest match against each other, Punjab had registered a tense 2-wicket victory on the back of sealing a 160-run target with three balls remaining in the match.

With both the teams not playing according to their potential at the Ekana Sports City, they are expected to be aware of the same and make amends accordingly. A victory to kick-start the second half of the league stage would be ideal for both PBKS and LSG.
