Punjab Kings have no choice but to win against Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow on Saturday in their final group game of the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL). This match between the 10th-placed LSG and the 5th-placed PBKS is likely to see a Punjab resurgence based on their head-to-head record, so our prediction is an away win.
Before Thursday’s game, Lucknow are bottom with eight points, while Punjab have 13 points (W6, L6, NR1). At least four teams have more points, and even Chennai could overtake them if they beat Gujarat on Thursday.
Lucknow lost to the Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets on Tuesday despite scoring 220. That result summarised their concerns, as they have been defeated in eight of their last ten, including one via Super Over. Only Mitchell Marsh (563 runs) has been impressing with the bat, while Prince Yadav (16 wickets) was the only bowling success of the season.
Punjab lost to Bengaluru by 23 runs on Sunday for their sixth defeat in a row, leaving their playoff hopes in tatters. They now have to win here and also hope for help elsewhere. Cooper Connolly’s form with the bat (473 runs) could be crucial to lift the mood, while Arshdeep Singh (14 wickets) will be expected to come to life with the ball.
