PBKS vs LSG, IPL 2025: Shreyas Iyer's Punjab Kings face Rishabh Pant's Lucknow Super Giants at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala on Sunday evening.
PBKS vs LSG, Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025: Punjab Kings are entering this upcoming match with momentum, having secured an impressive four-wicket victory against Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk. Under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, PBKS currently holds the fourth position on the points table with six wins, three losses, and one match abandoned due to rain.
On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants will be returning to action after a significant break. They faced defeats in their last two matches against Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. The week-long break would have provided them with ample time to address their weaknesses. Rishabh Pant and his team are currently positioned at sixth place on the points table with five wins and five losses from 10 games.
In a previous encounter earlier in the season, Punjab Kings emerged victorious against Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. Shreyas Iyer and his team successfully chased down a target of 172 runs with eight wickets and 22 balls to spare.
Chahal bowled the last over of the innings. Badoni got out trying a switch hit but top edged it to short third. He scored 74 runs off 40 balls. Avesh hit a six and a four in the over. Shreyas Iyer dropped a catch on the last ball. Punjab Kings won by 37 runs.
PBKS 236/5 (20)
LSG 199/7 (20)
Vyshak with his second over. Samad got two runs on the first ball and a single on the second ball. Badoni hit a four with a ramp shot over short fine leg. Three singles were scored on the final three balls of the over to third man.
Jansen returns to bowl, delivering a few defensive shots from Samad. Samad hits a four with a pull shot and then another pull shot that is stopped by a fielder. Samad defends a slower delivery and then gets a single off the final delivery.
Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh start batting, facing Arshdeep Singh who delivers a mix of challenging balls. Markram gets a double on the second ball, while Marsh is squared up on the last ball of the over, with swing and bounce evident throughout.
Digvesh starts the over with a wide ball to Shashank. Shashank hits a carrom ball to long off for one run. Prabhsimran slips trying for a second run. Prabhsimran misses a slog on a wide ball. Shashank hits a slap to long on for one run. Shashank gets an edge on a wide delivery, Pant misses the catch, and they take a single to third man. Prabhsimran is out trying a reverse sweep and is caught at covers.
Nehal Wadhera is bowled by Prince after shuffling across and missing a yorker. He scored 16 runs off 9 balls. Shashank Singh is the new batter and gets a single. Prabhsimran hits a six off a bouncer from Prince, pulling it over deep midwicket.
Mayank is back in for his third over and bowls a length ball to Prabhsimran, who blocks it and takes a single. Shreyas then hits a four with a full ball. Prabhsimran gets his half-century in just 30 balls with a single to third man.
Punjab Kings (Playing XI): Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer(c), Josh Inglis(w), Shashank Singh, Nehal Wadhera, Marcus Stoinis, Azmatullah Omarzai, Marco Jansen, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh
Lucknow Super Giants (Playing XI): Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Abdul Samad, Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Akash Maharaj Singh, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Avesh Khan, Mayank Yadav, Prince Yadav
Rishabh Pant: We will bowl first. We feel it is a bowling first. We don't know how it is going to play. Looks like, it will stop a bit. Little loose on the top. Still, a good wicket. It is going to be a good match. Bowling first we will have the advantage and see how the game unfolds and that's the kinda of advantage we were looking to have. Just trying to be simple more often. You want people to have conversation when you are losing. Good to see youngsters stepping in.
Shreyas Iyer: We would have bowled first as well. The wicket was covered for a while and it was pouring yesterday and the day before. It was under the sheets and you know the moisture it adopts to. The grass is thicker. I don't want to predict how the wicket is going to be. We are up for the competition. You gotta to take positives. You can't dwell on how bad you have done in a match. We need to be in high spirits. That's the culture and camaraderie in the team. Stoinis comes in.
The LSG batters may consider targeting Arshdeep, as he has not performed well in Dharamshala, with an economy rate of 11.07 in four matches and only four wickets to his name. Rathi could also be a key player with the ball, given his success in dismissing the openers in a previous match and being the only LSG bowler to achieve success in that game, with figures of 2-30 in 4 overs, while the others struggled to contain runs.
Lucknow Super Giants Squad: Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Abdul Samad, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Prince Yadav, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Mayank Yadav, Yuvraj Chaudhary, Shahbaz Ahmed, Himmat Singh, Akash Maharaj Singh, Matthew Breetzke, Shardul Thakur, Manimaran Siddharth, Aryan Juyal, RS Hangargekar, Akash Deep, Shamar Joseph, Arshin Kulkarni
