  With PBKS sitting in fourth place with 13 points and LSG in sixth with 10, the stakes are high as both teams look to solidify their playoff chances. PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer has led from the front with four fifties this season, while Prabhsimran Singh’s consistent scoring and Yuzvendra Chahal’s recent hat-trick add to their confidence.  The loss of Glenn Maxwell is a setback, but Punjab’s well-rounded squad gives them options. On the other side, LSG are desperate for a turnaround, with Rishabh Pant’s form under the spotlight. Power-hitters like Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram must deliver if they are to challenge Punjab at home. With Dharamsala’s conditions in play, this could be a pivotal encounter in the race for the top four.
