LSG Playing 11 for Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants, Match 38 of IPL 2023; Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips for PBKS vs LSG Dream11 Team Prediction

The 2023 Indian Premier League season has been filled with ups and downs for the Lucknow Super Giants. After a strong start to the season, they have now lost two out of their last three matches, and they are in danger of falling out of the top four on the league table. The team will be looking to get back to winning ways when they travel to Mohali to take on the Punjab Kings on April 28.

The Super Giants’ latest match against the Gujarat Titans was a forgettable one, as they suffered a stunning collapse and lost the match by seven runs. The team was in a comfortable position, needing just 31 runs in the last six overs, and had nine wickets in hand. However, they failed to capitalize on the opportunity and let the match slip away.

One of the issues the team has faced is their batting order. While Kyle Mayers and KL Rahul have given the team solid starts, there have been criticisms about Rahul’s slow batting. The LSG skipper has an aggregate strike rate of 113.91 this season. This tends to put pressure on the lower-order batsmen to score at a faster pace to compensate.

The bowling has been inconsistent as well. Mark Wood has been the pick of the bowlers but his fitness has been a concern.

The team’s management will have to address these issues and make changes to the team’s strategy if they want to keep up with the competition.
