KL Rahul-led LSG will look to carry on their winning momentum after securing their third win of the season, while Shikhar Dhawan-led PBKS will look to bounce back after suffering back to back defeats.
In the recent outings, LSG pulled off a huge run-chase of 213 off the last ball against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Bengaluru. The Lucknow-based side opened their campaign with a victory over Delhi Capitals and followed that with an away loss to CSK.
However, the LSG side responded with back-to-back away wins, starting with a 5-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in Hyderabad before a 1-wicket win over RCB in Bengaluru.
PBKS, on the other hand, suffered a 6-wicket loss to defending champions Gujarat Titans in Mohali before an away loss to SRH in Hyderabad. Before the two defeats, PBKS had beaten KKR at home in a rain-affected match followed by an away victory against Rajasthan Royals.
