IPL — Punjab Kings take on Lucknow Super Giants at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium (Chandigarh) on Sunday, April 19, 2026. 

Lucknow Super Giants will face Punjab Kings in IPL 2026 on Sunday, April 19, at 07:30 PM IST. Punjab Kings come into this match with strong momentum after a seven-wicket win over the Mumbai Indians, while the Lucknow-based team is struggling in seventh place with just two wins and three losses.

LSG fans remain concerned about Rishabh Pant’s fitness as he received an elbow injury during their previous match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Will Pant play against PBKS? The question remains.

Despite having a strong top-order batting unit, LSG has been struggling to build momentum inside the powerplays. Against the proven bowling unit of PBKS, LSG will have to embrace themselves for another hard game.

Punjab Kings are likely to defeat Lucknow Super Giants, as they have a home advantage, supported by an excellent form in the recent past. Prabhsimran Singh and Shreyas Iyer can shift the momentum of the match at any time. With the ball, PBKS fans will want to see excellent spells from their star pacer Arshdeep Singh.

PBKS has a slight 57% win probability for the match. But overdependency on some individuals can be fatal for both of the teams. The bowlers of the PBKS will have to deliver in a more meaningful way so that their teammates can bat with more freedom.
