The current season of the Indian Premier League will witness an exciting encounter on Sunday when Punjab Kings will take on Lucknow Super Giants at their home ground. The match will start at 7:30 PM and both the teams have already reached Chandigarh and are gearing up for the match. Both the sides will share their strategies in a joint practice session from 6 to 9 PM today followed by a press conference.
Punjab Kings fast bowler Arshdeep Singh will be a special eye-catcher in this match. He completed his 100 IPL wickets by dismissing Ryan Rickelton while playing against Mumbai Indians in the previous match—he became the first bowler for Punjab Kings to achieve this feat.
On the other hand, this match is very important for Lucknow Supergiants. The team has won only 2 out of 5 matches so far and is under pressure after two consecutive losses. On the other hand, Punjab Kings team wants to maintain their winning streak by continuing their unbeaten run.
Keeping the match in mind, the administration has made strict security and traffic arrangements. 8 special parking spaces have been created near the stadium—out of which 3 are for VIPs and 5 are for general spectators. The police have appealed to the fans to reach the stadium early to avoid the crowd.
This match will not just be a clash of two teams, but also a battle of form and strong comebacks—making Sunday evening even more exciting for cricket lovers.
