Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants: Top vs Bottom Battle in Match 29 Punjab Kings host Lucknow Super Giants in the 29th match of IPL 2026 on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. The evening clash kicks off at 7:30 PM IST (7:00 PM local), marking a double-header finale for the day.
Warm and mostly clear skies await with temperatures around 36°C and just 10% chance of rain, setting up a full uninterrupted contest under lights.
Mullanpur pitch leans batsman-friendly, offering true bounce and pace for high scores above 180, though spinners gain grip later; dew could aid chasing teams significantly.
PBKS top the table with nine points from five games (four wins, one no-result), unbeaten and eyeing a stronghold before mid-season crunch. LSG languish eighth with four points from five (two wins, three losses), desperate to halt a slump and ignite playoff hopes.
Punjab Kings are flying high, chasing 198 against Mumbai Indians in 16.3 overs for a seven-wicket romp, following a 223/4 to defend vs SRH. Prabhsimran Singh’s 80 off 39 headlines their momentum, with no losses staining the record.
LSG struggle, losing three of four recent outings; Rishabh Pant’s poor run and Nicholas Pooran’s form dip compound issues, though they seek revival against the leaders.
Head-to-Head
Six IPL meetings split evenly at 3-3 between PBKS and LSG.

Punjab Kings Analysis
PBKS thrive on explosive top order and home edge, with Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy, Prabhsimran’s fireworks (strike rate 200+), and Priyansh Arya’s starts. Bowling led by Harshal Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal balances them, but depth tested if stars falter. Unbeaten streak underscores strengths over minor spin frailties.
Probable XI: Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Priyansh Arya, Cooper Connolly, Shreyas Iyer (c), Liam Livingstone, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, Harpreet Brar
Lucknow Super Giants Analysis
LSG boast all-round talent like Mitchell Marsh and Wanindu Hasaranga, with Aiden Markram adding stability, but batting inconsistencies and Pant’s slump expose weaknesses. Their spin attack shines, yet recent losses reveal chasing woes and pooran form slump.
Probable XI: Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Wanindu Hasaranga, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Akash Deep, Yash Thakur
Key Talking Points
Prabhsimran vs LSG pacers could explode early; Pant’s redemption arc vs PBKS spinners looms large. Mullanpur dew favors batsmen second, testing Sultans’ bowling—home crowd and PBKS form tilt scales, but LSG’s even H2H keeps it live.
Punjab Kings’ unbeaten streak, home turf, and superior NRR (+1.067) overpower LSG’s struggles; expect PBKS to post or chase 190+ for a comfortable 20-30 run win.
