PBKS vs LSG LIVE
Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants are up against each other in the IPL 2026 match today. Both teams are looking for two big points, but are entering this fixture with different mindsets.
Punjab Kings are the only team to see a loss after five matches and are looking to extend their place at the top of the points table. Shreyas Iyer's leadership and batting consistency have been the force behind PBKS' dream start to the IPL 2026 campaign.
On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants are struggling once again under Rishabh Pant's captaincy. The wicketkeeper batter's promotion to No. 3 has backfired big time, and misfiring Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran have become a headache for LSG's troubling campaign.
So, let's get ready for a thrilling encounter in New Chandigarh today.
