Table-toppers Punjab Kings will bank on their strong batting to continue their winning run against a struggling Lucknow Super Giants, who will, however, be boosted by the presence of their skipper Rishabh Pant here on Sunday.
PBKS, the only unbeaten side so far, have looked ominous this season with four wins from five matches, with one game against Kolkata Knight Riders washed out. The Shreyas Iyer-led side boasts a healthy net run-rate of +1.067.
Rishabh Pant
Lucknow, with four points, are reeling from back-to-back losses, but the return of Pant in Sunday’s match will be a relief for them. The LSG skipper had suffered an elbow injury in their previous match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. LSG bowling coach Bharat Arun told media ahead of the game against PBKS that Pant is “perfectly alright” and fit enough to play on Sunday.
