LSG vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Punjab Kings (PK) in the 13th match of IPL 2025 in Lucknow. LSG recovered well from a disappointing start, securing a solid victory in their second outing. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, made a strong statement with a dominant performance in their opening game, proving theyβre a team to watch this season. With both sides eager to build momentum, this contest is shaping up to be a high-intensity clash. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview After a heartbreaking 1-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals in their opening game, Lucknow Super Giants made a strong comeback by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad on their home turf. They restricted the Sunrisers to a modest 190-9 and chased it down in just 16.1 overs. Nicholas Pooran was the standout performer, hammering 70 off just 26 balls and putting the game beyond Hyderabadβs reach within the first 10 overs. He has been in red-hot form for LSG, with his last five scores reading 48*(26), 61 (27), 75 (29), 75 (30), and 70 (26). Mitchell Marsh is another key player to keep an eye on. He smashed 52 off 31 in the last match, setting the foundation for the chase. If LSG wants to keep the momentum going, both Pooran and Marsh need to fire. Rishabh Pant and David Miller havenβt made a huge mark yet, but theyβve spent enough time at the crease to suggest a big knock might be coming soon. Lucknowβs bowling unit was impressive in their last outing. Shardul Thakur has been a game-changer, already picking up six wickets in two games. Young pacer Prince Yadav held his own, conceding just 29 runs in four overs while picking up a wicket. Ravi Bishnoi remains a potent threat in the middle overs and can change the course of a match in no time. Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings have only played one game so far but made a strong statement in that outing. They took down Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, putting up a massive 243-5 and keeping the hosts to 232-5 in a high-scoring contest. Shreyas Iyer made an immediate impact for his new team, hammering an unbeaten 97 off just 42 balls. Priyansh Arya (47 off 23) and Shashank Singh (44* off 16) also made valuable contributions with the bat. Punjab’s batting lineup looks dangerous this season. With Shreyas at number three and the firepower of Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell in the middle order, they have a unit that can take apart any bowling attack. Shashank Singh, who played a quickfire knock in the opener, adds even more depth as a finisher. His ability to go hard from the start makes him a game-changer for Punjab. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium wonβt be an outright belter but it would be good for batting like most Indian surfaces. However, Ekana does tend to slow down in the middle overs, which brings the spinners into the mix. If dew sets in, however, spinners might struggle to grip the ball and go for runs. The weather in Lucknow will be warm and humid, but since there is no sign of rain, we will have a full match. LSG vs PBKS Pitch Report The average first innings score at the Ekana Cricket Stadium is 166. Last season, the highest score posted at the venue was Kolkata Knight Ridersβ 235-6 versus Lucknow Super Giants, a game they won by 98 runs. That, incidentally, was the only 200+ score achieved at Ekana in IPL 2024 across 14 innings. Toss: To Bowl Chasing might be the better option at the Ekana Cricket Stadium as batting becomes easier in the second innings when dew sets in. In IPL 2024, four of the seven games played at this venue were won by the chasing side.
