LSG vs PBKS Fantasy Cricket Tips

Lucknow Super Giants Heavy Fantasy XI

• In the previous game, KL Rahul and Nicholas Pooran looked in good touch with the bat. They will once again be crucial for LSG to do well. If you are backing the Super Giants, keep both in your fantasy XI. 
• Naveen ul Haq looked good with the ball in the first match. He will once again be crucial for LSG's bowling effort. Ravi Bishnoi is a very efficient spinner for the team. Though he failed to impress in the previous game, Bishnoi could be the game-changer. 
• The Aussie all-rounder, Marcus Stoinis, did not live upto the expectations in the previous match. But he can be impactful with both his trades, making him a good option for the fantasy contests of the game. 

Punjab Kings Heavy Fantasy XI

• The PBKS skipper started both matches but failed to convert them. However, Shikhar Dhawan seems to have the form with him, and that makes him a good choice if you are backing the visitors.
• Harpreet Brar has impressed with the ball in the two matches. He should be a go-to choice from the PBKS team. Besides Brar, KG Rabada and Arshdeep Singh could be the impact performers with the ball for PBKS. 
• Jonny Bairstow has been a big disappointment for PBKS in the tournament so far. However, he has an impactful batter, and it is just a matter of a couple of good deliveries before he gets going. Therefore, he could be your high-return option for the game. 

LSG vs PBKS Winner Prediction

While the LSG have started on a losing note, the PBKS had a rocky start to their campaign. The two points from this game are essential to the cause of both teams. However, LSG will have the home advantage and might emerge as the winners in this game.

KL Rahul (LSG)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 58 Runs in 1 Match
• The LSG skipper has started the tournament with a half-century. KL Rahul is a consistent run-scorer, and as he has the form with him, Rahul will be a good choice for the fantasy contests of the match. 

Nicholas Pooran will be a key player for the LSG [iplt20.com]

Nicholas Pooran (LSG)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 64 Runs in 1 Match
• The West Indian keeper looked very good with the bat in the first match. Nicholas Pooran has been in good form in the T20 format for the last 10-12 months. His current form and momentum make Pooran a prime choice for the fantasy contests of the match. 

Shikhar Dhawan (PBKS)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 67 Runs in 2 Matches
• The PBKS skipper has yet to make a significant impact in the tournament. However, he looked in good rhythm and got started in the first two games. So, despite not having the stats behind him, Dhawan will be an essential pick for the game. 

Harpreet Brar (PBKS)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 3 Wickets in 2 Matches
• The Indian left-arm spinner has found his rhythm in the first two games. Brar is being economical and is also picking up wickets in the middle overs. Given the reputation of the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Harpreet could be a highly rewarding choice for the fantasy contests of the match. 

LSG vs PBKS Differential Picks

Marcus Stoinis (LSG)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 3 Runs in 1 Match
• The Aussie all-rounder looked off colours in the first match. But Stoinis proved himself as a bowler in the recently concluded SA20. Besides, he could be a game-changer on any given day with the bat. So, the all-around impact that he could have makes Stoinis a crucial choice for the game.

Jonny Bairstow could be a crucial player for PBKS [iplt20.com]

Jonny Bairstow (PBKS)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 17 Runs in 2 Matches
