Punjab Kings (PBKS) are the only undefeated team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 so far. Shreyas Iyer and Co. will look to continue their near-flawless campaign when they lock horns with the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Sunday, April 19, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh.

While PBKS have won four out of their five games in IPL 2026, LSG have two wins and three defeats to show for their efforts.

Prabhsimran Singh will be high on confidence after scoring a match-winning 80 off 39 balls in the last game against the Mumbai Indians. Meanwhile, his opening partner Priyansh Arya has also given his team some flying starts this season. The southpaw is striking at 245.84. Cooper Connolly has also done well, scoring 136 runs in four innings at an average of 45.33 and a strike rate of 151.12.
