PBKS vs LSG Prediction: Who Will Win Today’s IPL 2026 Match 29?

Punjab Kings (PBKS) will take on the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match No.29 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh, on Sunday, April 19. PBKS are the only unbeaten side in the 19th season of the tournament, having won four matches. Their clash with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) was called off due to rain. Punjab are determined to lift the trophy, having missed it in the previous edition. Shreyas Iyer's side would look to dominate the LSG at home.

Lucknow, under the captaincy of Rishabh Pant, have had a mixed season so far. They need a few wins to save their campaign, and the players, especially batters, need to regroup to post big totals or chase the targets. A top performance against Punjab is what can inspire the Lucknow Super Giants.
