LSG vs PBKS Live Score: Punjab Kings win toss, opt to bowl.

LSG vs PBKS Live Score: Lucknow Super Giants' biggest concern has been injuries to their premium fast bowlers. As per reports, Akash Deep seems to be recovering well from his back injury. Mayank Yadav also in the recovery phase. The indications are that we won't be seeing the duo in action against PBKS at least.

LSG vs PBKS Live Score: It is a red-soil pitch, which is not located centrally on the square, making life difficult for the bowlers to defend the shorter side of the ground. However, it is one of the biggest grounds in the IPL, which will certainly bring bowlers some much-needed relief. There hasn't been much dew at the ground in the three days leading up to the match, and we can expect similar conditions today.

LSG vs PBKS Live Score: Priyansh Arya made a solid start to his IPL career, hammering 47 off just 23 balls in his maiden outing. His knock featured seven 4s and two 6s, and the youngster will hope for a repeat tonight.

LSG vs PBKS Live Score: A total of seven matches were played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in the previous edition and Lucknow Super Giants emerged victorious four times.

However, hardly any match barring the final fixture between KKR and LSG saw team cross the 200-mark.

163 was the lowest total defended at the venue, which was done by hosts Lucknow. Meanwhile, thrice teams failed to cross 150 at the venue.

LSG vs PBKS Live Score: Lucknow Super Giants have been the dominant side between the two, emerging victorious on three occasions, while Punjab Kings have won once. When the teams locked horns in Lucknow last year, LSG won by 21 runs, with tearaway pacer Mayank Yadav making the most impact. However, he is unlikely to make a return to action tonight.

LSG vs PBKS Live Score: Shardul Thakur has been extremely impressive with the new ball as Lucknow Super Giants continue to miss their frontline quicks. Thakur has scalped six wickets, with four coming in the previous encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

LSG vs PBKS Live Score: Our top fantasy picks!

Priyansh Arya, Shreyas Iyer, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh/Marcus Stoinis, Shashank Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi, Digvesh Rathi/Manimaran Siddharth

LSG vs PBKS Live Score: The match will be played at Ekana Cricket Stadium, which assists the spinners.

Keeping that aspect in mind, LSG's spin attack appear lethal. Ravi Bishnoi is the most popular name in that LSG camp among the spinners, but Digvesh Rathi and Manimaran Siddharth have already showcased what they are capable of. In addition, LSG also have Shahbaz Ahmed, who can tweak the ball, brings value in the batting department.

In comparison Punjab's spin attack appear less potent. The side obviously have the services of Yuzvendra Chahal, IPL's leading wicket-taker, however, there are question marks on who can assist him from the opposite end. Glenn Maxwell is one, but is reliable enough with the ball? The team might be tempted to give Harpreet Brar some game time.
