An aggressive brand of cricket has been evident in both Lucknow and Punjab's approach to this tournament. This is clearly showcased in the sixes statistic, and hence I am putting my money on over 21.5 sixes in this match.

Lucknow have seen over 22 sixes in both their matches this season.
Punjab Kings saw 32 sixes hit in their only match this season.
Lucknow hit 27 sixes in their two matches this season.
Punjab hit 16 sixes in their only match this season.

Head to Head

The teams have played each other in four matches in the IPL, with Lucknow winning three and losing two. The record at this venue is an even 1-1.

Last season saw the Super Giants win by 21 runs, with tearaway quick Mayank Yadav (3 for 27) leading the show.

Lucknow Super Giants have two points from their two matches this season. They lost a close match to Delhi Capitals by one wicket in Visakhapatnam before winning by five wickets against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

It is their imports doing the duty for LSG, as Nicholas Pooran (145, SR 258.92) and Mitchell Marsh (124 runs, SR 185.07) have been doing the duty.

Among the bowlers, injury replacement addition Shardul Thakur has surprised everyone with his spells (six wickets).

Akash Deep and Mayank Yadav continue to battle injuries, and hence LSG may field the same playing XI. The only change could be to introduce Shahbaz Ahmed for Abdul Samad if they feel the need for an extra bowler.

Punjab Kings Form

Punjab Kings started the tournament with a win and will be keen to join teams that have won four points. They won by 11 runs against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad.

It was a game of heavy scores as Punjab posted 243 for 5 with captain Shreyas Iyer remaining not out on 97. The Titans took the game deep and finished at 232 for 5. Arshdeep Singh’s two wickets were the best for Punjab.

The Kings will once again rely on some strong powerplay hitting as Priyansh Arya helped them score 73 in the first six overs against Gujarat. Yet, they needed Vijaykumar Vyshak’s brilliance at the death to win the game.

Josh Inglis may have to wait for his chance as the Kings could be set for the same playing XI.

Verdict

Lucknow Super Giants v Punjab Kings - T20

Lucknow and Punjab have both shown some great range hitting in their matches this season. This game could follow suit, and I am backing this match to have over 21.5 sixes.
