The Punjab Kings have had a disastrous run of form but their defeats have mostly been against the stronger sides in the IPL, so they should expect to get back to winning ways against the last-placed Super Giants.

Super Giants vs Punjab Kings IPL Match Analysis
The last 10 matches at the Ekana Stadium have seen the side batting first winning, with an average score just under 170 in the first innings, but the side batting first will need to aim for a score around 200 to put pressure on the side chasing.
Evening temperatures in Lucknow are looking to top 39°C, with humidity in the region of 23%, which will put extra strain on the bowlers.
The track has tended towards the slower side this season, which has caused batters to battle to play strokes and time the ball with confidence. The big outfield has also impacted on sides’ ability to post larger totals as batters have been struggling to clear the boundary, especially with the ball holding up on the pitch.
The last match at the Ekana saw the Super Kings post a score of 187/5 off their 20 overs, hitting 16 sixes. The Super Giants raced to the win off 16.4 overs for the loss of just three wickets, hitting 13 sixes.
Verdict
The Punjab Kings are backed to take the win, with Cooper Connolly our pick to score over 26 runs.
Mitchell Marsh is backed to be the best batter for the Super Giants, with Azmatullah Omarzai a good option to back to take two or more wickets.
