LSG vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 11th Match | LKN vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction Today | Lucknow Pitch Report

Lucknow Super Giants have had to wait the best part of a week to right the wrongs of their first-up defeat to Rajasthan Royals last Sunday. The form of Nicholas Pooran was the biggest positive, but there is room for improvement with regards to their bowlers and top order. A return home may be the catalyst.

Punjab Kings usual win-loss pattern was back after defeat in Bengaluru. Their stop-start batting innings followed by poor death bowling hurt them dearly, but they now have the chance to test a Lucknow side trying to find its feet.

Last season, the Lucknow pitch was the most difficult to bat on in the league. According to ESPNcricinfo, a red-soil surface is expected, which could provide more pace and bounce than was the case in 2023.

Last season, the scoring rate was just 6.93 runs per over on this ground; the lowest of any of the ten venues that hosted at least five matches. However, the red soil will make for an interesting pitch as last year saw the black soil used.
