LSG vs PBKS IPL 2024 Match 11 Match-Ups: Top 5 Player Battles to Watch Out For

Lucknow Super Giants will face off against Punjab Kings in the eleventh match of IPL 2024 at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.

LSG lost their first match against RR in Jaipur. Despite being in a decent position to win the match, LSG could not achieve the win and lost to RR by 20 runs. Much like LSG, PBKS were in a good position to beat RCB in their own backyard, particularly in the death overs.

The two teams have faced each other three times with LSG having a narrow 2-1 lead over PBKS. However, PBKS won the visiting match at Ekana Stadium in the IPL 2023.

Top 5 Player Battles

1. Devdutt Padikkal vs Arshdeep Sing in IPL

This could be the game for Devdutt Padikkal to kick-start his LSG career. He has had the better of Kagiso Rabada (48 runs in 29 balls, 0 dismissals) and Sam Curran (32 runs in 20 balls, 0 dismissals). He has fallen thrice to Arshdeep Singh but has also been able to take him on – smashing 49 off 31 balls against the left-armer.

2. KL Rahul vs Kagiso Rabada (T20I+IPL)

While Padikkal has shown he can take on PBKS’ PowerPlay bowlers, KL Rahul has historically been slow to start against them. Kagiso Rabada, on the flip side, not only kept him quiet but also dismissed him a few times. Rahul has scored just 17 runs off 18 balls (1 dismissal) faced from Arshdeep while making just 29 off 24 (0 dismissals) against Sam Curran.

3. Shikhar Dhawan vs Amit Mishra

Shikhar Dhawan has struggled against Lucknow Supergiants, managing just 6 runs in 2 matches. Moreover, he is not having a very good record against Amit Mishra either, scoring just 39 off 32 balls (3 dismissals). He has had the better of Ravi Bishnoi (39 runs in 32 balls, 1 dismissal).

4. Nicholas Pooran vs Harshal Patel (T20I+IPL)

Nicholas Pooran has dominated almost every bowler of his previous franchise (including T20I). Harshal Patel is also included in the Punjab squad. Pooran has fired against Harshal Patel (25 runs in 10 balls, 0 dismissals in IPL)

5. Jonny Bairstow vs Ravi Bishnoi

Bairstow is a good player of spin. He has faced Ravi Bishnoi with a strike rate of 175 in IPL. However, Bishonoi has managed to send him back to the pavilion once upon 2 times.
