LSG vs PBKS Pitch Report
The pitch at the Ekana Stadium was completely different in the last game compared to the first game of the season. The track was slow and dry and offered a lot of assistance to the spinners.

Nicholas Pooran
The West Indian batter has been in sensational form in the ongoing season as his 19-ball 62-run knock helped Lucknow chase down the mammoth target of 213 against RCB. The southpaw has scored 141 runs in four innings at an average of 47 and a strike rate of 220.31. Pooran will look for another memorable outing against Punjab Kings.
