Punjab Kings (PBKS) are coming off an emphatic victory, as they are set to be at loggerheads with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh PCA Stadium, Mullanpur, on Sunday.

Punjab thrashed Mumbai in Mumbai! Bowling first, left-arm swing bowler, Arshdeep Singh set the tone with two wickets upfront. Although Quinton de Kock made PBKS lose the plot, they ended the first half on a high, reducing MI for 195/6.

Punjab also lost two early wickets, but Sarpanch Shreyas Iyer and Prabhsimran Singh were too burly in front of the massive total. The duo made a mockery of the Mumbai bowling, adding 139 runs for the third wicket. Eventually, they chased down the target in just 16.3 overs.

Ahead of their next fixture, let us see what chopping and choosing can be done in the PBKS Playing XI vs LSG in the IPL 2026, Match 29.

PBKS Playing XI vs LSG, IPL 2026, Match 29

Top Order: Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya, Cooper Connolly

Prabhsimran Singh came and he conquered Mumbai! In Karan Aujla's words, "Oh Bombay Tak Hila Dange". Not only the Punjab opener slammed a 39-ball 80 and punished Jasprit Bumrah & co., he stayed unbeaten and finished off the game.

Although Prabhsimran Singh's usual partner-in-crime, Priyansh Arya, failed, there won’t be any question about his place in the PBKS Playing XI vs LSG. Cooper Connolly also fell cheaply vs MI, but he kept the momentum going with a boundary and two biggies.

Middle Order & All-Rounders: Shreyas Iyer, Marcus Stoinis, Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh, Marco Jansen

Shreyas Iyer played like Punjab's Sarpanch as they thrashed Mumbai Indians at Wankhede. The PBKS skipper bossed over the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Deepak Chahar, Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur. His aura can be translated in Iyer's stats in IPL 2026 - 203 runs at a strike rate close to 190.

Although Punjab's middle order, comprising Marcus Stoinis, Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh, has not been tested so far, they will be the vital cogs heading forward in this big tournament.

Marco Jansen regained his bowling form against Mumbai Indians, as he returned with Hardik Pandya's wicket. As he returned with 1 for 30, the left-arm seaming all-rounder will be one of the biggest strengths in the PBKS Playing XI vs LSG.

Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, Xavier Bartlett, Vijaykumar Vyshak

Arshdeep Singh bagged two big wickets in his opening spell vs MI, before ending his four overs with 3 for 22. Thus, he will be in the PBKS Playing XI.

Arshdeep's fast-bowling partners, Xavier Bartlett and Vijaykumar Vyshak, failed to pick wickets against MI. However, the two will be enjoy while bowling on the Mullanpur track, which suits their style of bowling.

The champion bowler, Yuzvendra Chahal, has had poor outings in his two outings, where he picked any wickets. Meanwhile, he bowled just three overs and gave away 45 runs against MI. However, the team management will remain their faith in the leg-spinner to be an integral part of the PBKS Playing XI vs LSG.
