Pune, April 28: Punjab Kings (PBKS) and new entrants Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will lock horns for the first time in match 42 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the MCA Stadium in Pune.
Mayank Agarwal's PBKS are fresh from an impressive win over Chennai Super Kings, while KL Rahul-led LSG also head into the match on the back of a morale-boosting win over Mumbai Indians.
This will be the two teams' first ever meeting in IPL and also LSG's first outing at the MCA Stadium, where PBKS has already played once this season, beating MI.
PBKS has so far won 4 and lost 4 in their 8 matches for 8 points to occupy the sixth position, while LSG has won 5 and lost 3 for 10 points to sit in the fourth place on the IPL 2022 points table.
Both teams will look to maintain their winning run as Rahul returns to face his former side, whom he led for two seasons before moving to LSG ahead of the auctions. So, Rahul will be desperate to win against PBKS, who will be equally keen on handing their former skipper a loss.
PBKS and LSG may also likely to stick to their winning combinations for the match barring any injury issues or tactical calls. Rishi Dhawan made an impressive second debut for PBKS and will keep his spot as the all-rounder. LSG may bring back Avesh Khan if the pacer is fit to replace Mohsin Khan.
