IPL 2025: Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings – Match Preview

Lucknow Super Giants will lock horns against Punjab Kings in the 13th match of the ongoing IPL 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Tuesday. If there is one venue in the IPL, which can be the bowler’s friend, it is Lucknow as the average first innings total is 165, the lowest in the last two editions.

While LSG has won one and lost one so far in the tournament, PBKS won their opening clash against Gujarat Titans convincingly. LSG has a solid batting unit but their inexperienced bowling line-up will enjoy bowling on this track as it is expected to be slow and low.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings posted a par score of 243 runs against the Titans but their batters would be challenged on this venue. Shreyas Iyer led from the front as he scored a fantastic 97 in the opening game and he would look to carry the good show.

Head to Head: Matches: 4, Won by LSG: 3, Won by PBKS: 1.
