"Will decide a final XI on Saturday" - LSG head coach Justin Langer on his team against PBKS

A few LSG players looked rusty in the last game against the Royals. Their main spinner Ravi Bishnoi had a poor outing, conceding 38 runs in his four overs.

They are expected to make some changes to their playing XI as they search for their maiden victory in IPL 2024.

“LSG will decide a final XI on Saturday, but they have traditionally played three overseas batters and one foreign bowler, which has brought them success," Langer told reporters on the eve of the match.

The Lucknow Super Giants are currently rock-bottom in the standings.
