PBKS vs LSG IPL 2025 Dream11 prediction: Fantasy cricket tips, probable playing XIs, team news, injury updates for Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants

Heading into this season, Punjab Kings had a shaky home record, and a 2-2 split in Mullanpur did little to improve their reputation. Now, they are relocating to Dharamshala, where their track record is not much better - only five wins in 13 matches, with four defeats since 2023. Their last victory at the venue dates all the way back to 2013. With three upcoming games at the HPCA Stadium, PBKS are determined to turn things around, starting with their evening match against Lucknow Super Giants, who are struggling to find their form.

Lucknow Super Giants started the season inconsistently but managed to string together three wins in a row. However, they have recently hit a rough patch, losing three of their last four matches. This drop in form has caused them to slip down the points table, leaving little margin for error in the remaining matches. With only four games left, LSG must secure as many wins as possible to keep their playoff hopes alive.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings are in a more favorable position. Despite a loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore and a match abandoned at Eden Gardens, they bounced back with a crucial victory over Chennai Super Kings. With 13 points from 10 matches, PBKS currently hold a slight advantage in the tightly contested mid-table. As the competition for the top four spots - and more importantly, the top two - heats up, Punjab Kings are focused on maintaining their lead and making strategic moves to solidify their playoff aspirations.
