Both sides have struggled to pick up wickets in the middle overs of the game. Punjab collected only 22 wickets this year between the seventh to 15th over of the innings with an average of 33.82 and a strike rate of 21.82. Their economy rate is around nine, with the best bowling figures of 7/40 in an inning.

Yuzvendra Chahal has notched up a few wickets in the previous few games, and that’s a huge relief for the Shreyas Iyer-led side.

On the other hand, Lucknow picked up 24 wickets in 10 innings during the middle overs of the IPL 2025 at an average of 33.21 and a strike rate of 22.50. Their economy rate is nearly nine, with the best bowling figure of 4/51 in an inning.

Digvesh Rathi has done well in his very first edition of the event, while Ravi Bishnoi has gone off-color in most of his appearances. Avesh Khan, apart from the win against Rajasthan in Jaipur, hasn’t done anything significant.

PBKS vs LSG Player Prediction

Best Batter Prediction: Mitchell Marsh

The Australian all-rounder is the second-leading run-getter of the side in IPL 2025, with 378 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of nearly 160. He can nail the new ball around the park on a solid surface.

The left-arm pacer, who has 13 wickets in nine innings at an economy rate of 8.50, can use the swing and seam with the new ball in the powerplay overs.
