Rishabh Pant’s Lucknow Super Giants will look to end their Indian Premier League 2026 campaign on a high as they lock horns with struggling Punjab Kings in match number 68 of the Indian Premier League 2026. While Punjab will be hoping to arrest their 6-match losing streak and get a step closer to the playoffs, Lucknow are eyeing their 5th win of the season.
The result of this match will have a lot of implications on the points table which could affect the likes of Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings themselves. If PBKS wins tonight, then KKR and DC’s chances will shrink but if they lose, the race for the last playoff spot will be blown wide open.
Both Kolkata and Delhi, who are set to lock horns in tomorrow’s double header, will have a better chance of going through, depending on who grabs all 2 points. But, there is another twist in the tale.
All of the above mentioned teams’ efforts will go in vain if the Rajasthan Royals, who are also in action tomorrow, beat Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium. RR is the only team that can get to 16 points and even if Punjab and Kolkata win their respective matches, they will only attain 15 points. The 4th and final team for the playoffs will be decided tomorrow on the last matchday of the league phase.
Meanwhile in tonight’s match, Lucknow will be eyeing revenge over Punjab who won the reverse fixture earlier this season. Shreyas Iyer and co lead the head-to-head win/loss record by 4-3 but Rishabh Pant’s side will be determined to pick up their first win against PBKS since 2024.
