PBKS 141/5 (16.3)

LSG vs PBKS LIVE: 3rd wicket for Mayank!
Mayank Yadav, you beauty! Mayank is literally unplayable because of his pace. Doesn't matter whichever IPL team you support, this bowling speed is just unreal and equally exciting to watch. Jitesh Sharma is out at the score of 6 off 9 balls. Punjab Kings need 61 runs in 26 balls.

PBKS 139/3 (15.4)

IPL 2024 Live: OUT!

PBKS 128/2 (13.3)

IPL 2024 Live: OUT!

LSG 189/6 (18.4)

LSG vs PBKS LIVE: Big over

LSG vs PBKS LIVE: OUT!

IPL 2024 LIVE: PBKS unchanged for the game

"We would have bowled first, lots of dew when we came to the ground (last night). Our lines cane be tight, while batting, we can't afford to lose wickets in clusters. It's still early in the tournament and we've spoken about that in the dressing room. We'll have to make the most of the powerplay. No changes for us."

LIVE Score: KL Rahul in playing XI
"We'll bat first. Looks like a good track, runs on the board could be vital. KL has an injury and we're looking to give him a break in such a long tournament, but he'll play as an impact substitute. Everyone must take the opportunities and perform at their best," said stand-in PBKS captain Nicholas Pooran.

IPL 2024 LIVE Updates: Eyes on Sam Curran
PBKS all-rounder Sam Curran has shown his prowess with the bat in the two matches, the left-arm seamer has been wayward with the ball. In the pace bowling department, Kagiso Rabada will look for more support from Curran, Arshdeep Singh and Harshal Patel. Left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar has been impressive while leg-spinner Rahul Chahar needs to up his game.

LIVE Score: What about PBKS?

PBKS, on the other hand, have a 50-50 record so far, winning one and losing one. The Shikhar Dhawan-led side needs more fluency in the powerplay and that is bound to come if Jonny Bairstow gets going after failing in the first two games. Dhawan, who only plays IPL to IPL, needs to up his strike rate going forward. He himself admitted to batting a bit "slowly" against RCB. Prabhsimran Singh, who came of age last season, has not been able to capitalise on his starts yet.

LSG vs PBKS IPL 2024 LIVE Score: KL Rahul in good form

Skipper Rahul, who has decided to play the wicketkeeper-batter's role keeping the T20 World Cup in mind, made 58 in his comeback game and would be looking to build on that. He would be hoping his opening partner Quinton de Kock returns to his belligerent best against Punjab after missing out against Royals. The team is also banking on the likes of Devdutt Padikkal Ayush Badoni, Deepak Hooda, and Krunal to deliver down the order. LSG's success will also depend on the form of Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, who was the leading run-getter for the team last year with 408 runs.

LSG vs PBKS LIVE Score: LSG's woes

Barring Krunal Pandya, all the LSG bowlers leaked runs and also looked ineffective. In the absence of Mark Wood and David Willey, LSG's pace battery looks thin with the likes of Mohsin Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Yash Thakur expected to do the heavy lifting. Fighting for a place in the upcoming T20 World Cup squad, Ravi Bishnoi too looked ordinary in the team's tournament opener.

LSG vs PBKS LIVE: Squads of both teams -

Lucknow Super Giants: KL Rahul (c), Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Kyle Mayers, Marcus Stoinis, Deepak Hooda, Devdutt Padikkal, Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq, Krunal Pandya, Yudhvir Singh, Prerak Mankad, Yash Thakur, Amit Mishra, Shamar Joseph, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, K. Gowtham, Shivam Mavi, Arshin Kulkarni, M Siddharth, Ashton Turner, David Willey, Mohd. Arshad Khan.

Punjab Kings: Shikhar Dhawan (captain), Matthew Short, Prabhsimran Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Sikandar Raza, Rishi Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Atharva Taide, Arshdeep Singh, Nathan Ellis, Sam Curran, Kagiso Rabada, Harpreet Brar, Rahul Chahar, Harpreet Bhatia, Vidwath Kaverappa, Shivam Singh, Harshal Patel, Chris Woakes, Ashutosh Sharma, Vishwanath Pratap Singh, Shashank Singh, Tanay Thyagarajann, Prince Choudhary, Rilee Rossouw.

LSG vs PBKS LIVE Score: LSG aim for first win
Lucknow Super Giants will eye an improved all-round effort when they take on Punjab Kings in their second Indian Premier League match. KL Rahul-led LSG faltered in the opening game against Rajasthan Royals, losing by 20 runs in Chandigarh.
