IPL 2026 Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Punjab Kings (PBKS) Playing 11, Squad, Captain & Players List Today Match Updates: Punjab Kings have undergone the kind of collapse this season that could be a contender for one of the greatest ever in the history of the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) league stage and their destruction could be complete if they lose to the Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday. Even a victory wouldn’t be enough to guarantee a spot in the top four at the end of all the league matches but that is the bare minimum they need to stay in the race.
All this for a team that had not lost any of their first seven games and looked a shoo-in for a playoff spot even before the last quarter of the league stage began, perhaps even a top-placed finish. The wheels have come off quite spectacularly for PBKS but on Saturday, they will be up against a team who is probably the only one having a worse time than them with regards to public relations. Even the lack of pressure in their last few games after having been eliminated from the race for playoffs early on hasn’t resulted in them finding any consistency.

LSG Probable XII: Mitchell Marsh, Josh Inglis, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Abdul Samad, Ayush Badoni, Shahbaz Ahmed, Mohsin Khan, Mayank Yadav, Akash Singh, Prince Yadav, Digvesh Rathi
