Punjab Kings welcome Lucknow Super Giants for the 29th match of IPL 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. It is a Sunday evening game, starting at 7:30 pm local time.
Punjab’s likely XI is led by Shreyas Iyer and has Prabhsimran Singh at the top, with Cooper Connolly, Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh and Marcus Stoinis in the middle order. Marco Jansen and Xavier Bartlett provide pace and all-round support alongside Arshdeep Singh and Vijaykumar Vyshak, while Yuzvendra Chahal leads the spin department.
Lucknow, captained by Rishabh Pant, have a strong list of batters in Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad. Mukul Choudhary is named as wicketkeeper, and the bowling is led by Mohammed Shami, Avesh Khan, Digvesh Singh Rathi and Prince Yadav.
The ground is known for a balanced pitch that can move early and slow later, so teams need to adapt quickly. Swing under lights could help the new-ball bowlers, while the dew expected later may favour the chasing side. Our preview picks Punjab Kings.
