Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will look to crush Punjab Kings’ playoffs hopes as the two teams square off in Match 68 of the Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026) at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Saturday, May 23. Punjab’s campaign is hanging by a loose thread, following their six successive losses in as many fixtures.
They not only need to win their upcoming game to qualify ahead but also hope for Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) losses in their respective last fixtures. On the other hand, Lucknow are reeling at the last spot of the IPL 2026 points table with eight points from 13 games and will hope to end their season on a high.
