IPL 2024 Match 11 | LSG vs PBKS | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Lucknow Super Giants will be taking on the Punjab Kings in the 11th match of IPL 2024. Both the teams are on the back of a defeat away from home. LSG is currently at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points standings, having lost their season opener against Rajasthan Royal. After two games, the Punjab Kings are in fifth place on the IPL 2024 standings.

The KL Rahul-led LSG began their 2024 campaign with disappointment. They 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. The batters are yet to hit their strides in the tournament. The bigger concern for LSG is winning matches at home. They won just three of their seven games at home last season. 

On the other hand, Shikhar Dhawan’s PBKS started off their season with a victory over Delhi Capitals by a margin of four wickets at their new home ground at Mullanpur, in Chandigarh. But they came crashing down soon against RCB in their second game of the season looking to move on from their defeat and will aim to secure their first win of the tournament. Harpreet Brar and Kagiso Rabada bowled a fantastic spell. The Kings will hope all their players continue their good form.

LSG will start the match as favourites. On paper, they are a better side.
