LSG vs PBKS: Who are impact players nominated by Lucknow Super Giants & Punjab Kings for Match 68 of IPL 2026
The LSG vs PBKS clash is taking place on May 23.
Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings are locking horns in the 68th match of the Indian Premier League 2026 tonight. This is both teams’ last league match. The match is taking place at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
LSG are currently at the bottom of the points table with four wins and nine losses in 13 matches as they get prepared to face Shreyas Iyer’s men. The Super Giants are eliminated from the tournament. However, they can ruin Punjab’s chances of reaching the playoffs if they win in their final match of the season.
Meanwhile, after being the only unbeaten team in the initial seven matches of the season, the Punjab Kings have failed to secure a single win in their last six matches. With 13 points after 13 matches, this is a do-or-die game for Punjab.
They will remain in the playoffs contention if they win the match; however, their chances of qualification depend on the match between the Rajasthan Royals and the Mumbai Indians, scheduled for Sunday, May 24. Both teams are currently not in form; however, they will try to end the campaign on a positive note.
