Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 13th match of the IPL 2025. The game is set for April 1 at 7:30 PM IST, held at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. This will be LSG’s first home match of the season, while PBKS will be trying out a new ground.
Both teams are heading into this game after a win. PBKS recently pulled off a nail-biter against Gujarat Titans, while LSG had a strong win against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Before that, LSG narrowly lost to DC by just one wicket but bounced back well. This will be just the second match of the season for PBKS, and they’ll be looking to keep their winning streak alive.
Each team has some top-notch players. LSG features stars like Rishabh Pant, Nicholas Pooran, and Mitchell Marsh, while PBKS boasts Yuzvendra Chahal, Shreyas Iyer, and Glenn Maxwell. Fans can expect a great showdown between bat and ball, likely leading to a tight finish.
