Welcome to the Dream11 fantasy team prediction and tips for the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings, held in Lucknow. Lucknow, traditionally good for batting, has the possibility of being a high-scoring game as per previous season reports.

Wicketkeepers:

There are several good wicketkeeper-batsmen in the LSG team, such as KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock, and Nicholas Pooran. These three are my automatic choices for the Dream11 team. KL and Pooran batted really well in the first match, and De Kock has been a consistent performer. I also like to include Prabhsimran Singh in my team since he started well in both games for Punjab Kings. You can select him as well if you want more batsmen in your Dream11 team.

Batsmen:

Shikhar Dhawan is my automatic choice for the batsmen selection. I need another batsman from the list, and I would choose Jonny Bairstow ahead of Deepak Hooda. Although he failed in both matches, if he gets going, he will be very effective. You can choose Deepak Hooda or Prabhsimran Singh as the second batter.

Bowlers:

For the bowlers, Harpreet Brar and Kagiso Rabada are my automatic selections since they both bowled really well in the first two matches. I need to select two more bowlers from the list since I have chosen fewer batters in my team. So, Naveen Ul Haq, who took wickets and bowled well in the first match, is my choice. For the other option, I need to choose between Harshal Patel and Arshdeep Singh. Since Harshal bowls in the death overs more, he has a higher chance of getting wickets, so I am going with him. Rahul Chahar and Ravi Bishnoi are also very good options for the bowling slot.

##Captains: Choosing the captain and vice-captain is difficult in the Dream11 fantasy team. I would go with KL Rahul since he is in good form and consistently plays longer innings. I'm also selecting Dhawan as the vice-captain of the team. Rabada, Curran, and De Kock are also good options for the vice-captain roles. I have chosen a safer bet on Rahul and Dhawan.

Dream11 fantasy team:

KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Kagiso Rabada, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, and Naveen Ul Haq.
