Lucknow have already won three of their four matches this season while Punjab are coming into the match having lost two in a row. While that makes Lucknow runaway favourites to win here, value is in the 6s market. I am backing Punjab Kings to score the most 6s of the match.

Head to Head

These sides have met only once, in the last season, when Lucknow Super Giants won by 20 runs. Quinton de Kock’s 46 helped them to 153/8 which proved more than enough as Mohsin Khan’s 3/24 stifled the Kings.

Lucknow have six points from their four matches this season, winning three and losing one. They defeated Bangalore by one wicket in a thrilling match last time around, while their only loss came against Chennai.

The hosts will be happy about how Nicolas Pooran has turned up for his new franchises, scoring 141 runs at a SR of 220.31 so far. Kyle Mayers is next with 139 runs but he’s coming off two successive failures.

With the ball, it has been about Mark Wood who picked up nine wickets while Ravi Bishnoi with six has been a master of the middle overs.

Kyle Mayers could be struggling to hold his place if Lucknow decide to unleash Quinton de Kock. Including both could mean no place for Marcus Stoinis.

Punjab Kings Form

After starting the season with back-to-back wins, Punjab Kings have lost momentum with two defeats. They were beaten by Hyderabad (eight wickets) and Gujarat (six wickets) leaving them with just four points.

Punjab’s batting has been all about a single player – captain Shikhar Dhawan who has 233 runs this season at a SR of 146.54. With no other batter scoring more than Prabhsimran Singh’s 83, Punjab have been struggling for impact.

With the ball, the left-arm pace of Arshdeep Singh has seen him pick up seven wickets, while Nathan Ellis’ five is the next best.

Liam Livingstone has linked with the squad but could miss this match due to fitness issues. Ellis and Kagiso Rabada are probably fighting for a single spot.

I am backing Punjab Kings to spring a surprise and top the most match 6s count.
