THE LOWDOWN

PUNJAB KINGS

  • Punjab Kings got themselves back to winning ways last time out, beating Chennai Super Kings by 11 runs, meaning that they now have an even won four lost four record after eight matches played.
  • Shikhar Dhawan has proven a very good signing for the Kings and his 88 not out against Chennai emphasised that further, with the opener a crucial wicket for the opposition in this one.

LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS

  • Lucknow Super Giants are coming off the back of having extended Mumbai Indians’ losing run in the IPL, after beating the five-time champions by 36 runs following an excellent bowling performance which strangled their opponents into submission.
  • An all-round team effort saw five of the six bowlers utilised against Mumbai pick up at least one wicket with the only wicketless bowler in Dushmantha Chameera going at just 3.50 runs per over.

THE PREDICTION

Key to the outcome of this one is expected to be the performance of Punjab Kings’ top order with so much resting on the likes of Dhawan and also Liam Livingstone, who can be so destructive if he is allowed to get in. However, the bowling unit of Lucknow proved their credentials against Mumbai and will be very difficult to hit out against for Punjab. Combine that with the likes of KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock at their disposal with the bat and Lucknow Super Giants are well worth backing in this one.
