Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 has been an exciting and surprising season, with successful franchises finishing at the bottom of the table. It is a double header on Sunday, as is match number 29, as in-form Punjab Kings (PBKS) will host Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in an evening game at New Chandigarh.
