Punjab Kings (PBKS) will lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 38th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on Friday (Apr🦂il 28). Notably, PBKS and LSG have met each other once in the IPL 2023, where Punjab emerged victorious in a last-over thriller by two wickets.

Speaking of the previous matches of both teams, Punjab registered a comprehensive win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in their last game. In contrast, LSG s🀅uffered a defeat at the hands of the Gujarat Titans (GT). Sam Curran shined for the Punjab-based side in their win as he hammered a brilliant 55 of just 29 deliveries. Meanwhile, among bowlers, Arshdeep Singh claimed four wickets for PBKS. At the same time, despite KL Rahul’s resilient 68 off 61 balls, Lucknow failed to chase the set target and ended up losing the contest. Avesh Khan and Marcus Stoinis were the picks of the🔯 bowlers for LSG, bagging two scalps each in the fi🎃rst inning.

PBKS are current൲ly on the sixth spot of the IPL 2023 points tally and will look to move up by winning against Lucknow on Friday. On the other hand, LSG sits at the fourth position and will aim to strengthen their place.
