Punjab Kings (PBKS) take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the picturesque Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium (HPCA) in Dharamsala in Match No. 54 of the ongoing IPL 2025 on Sunday, May 4.
Punjab are coming into this clash on the back of an impressive four-wicket win against Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk. Shreyas Iyer has led PBKS from the front, and they are currently stationed at No. 4 on the points table. They have six wins and three losses from 10 games. One of their matches got washed out due to rain.
Meanwhile, LSG will return to action after a long break. They lost their last two games against Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. The one-week break would have given them a good amount of time to work on their shortcomings. Rishabh Pant and Co. are at No. 6 on the points table. They have five wins and as many defeats from 10 games.
PBKS emerged victorious earlier in the season when these two teams met at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. Shreyas and Co. chased down a 172-run target with eight wickets and 22 balls to spare.
PBKS vs LSG Dream11 Prediction
This is going to be the first game hosted in Dharamsala in IPL 2025. In 13 previous IPL games at this venue, teams batting first have won eight, while chasing teams have emerged victorious on five occasions. The average first-innings total is 184. The captain who wins the toss would want to bowl first to gauge the nature of the surface.
Priyansh Arya, Nehal Wadhera, Shreyas Iyer (C), Shashank Singh, Josh Inglis (WK), Suryansh Shedge, Azmatullah Omarzai, Marco Jansen, Harpreet Brar, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal.
Impact Player: Prabhsimran Singh
Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (C & WK), Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Prince Yadav, Digvesh Rathi, Mayank Yadav.
Impact Player: David Miller
Nicholas Pooran’s form has dipped slightly in the last few games. He scored four fifties in the first six games of the season, but his highest in the last four games has been 27. However, the southpaw is too good a batter to remain quiet for too long. He could set the stage ablaze on Sunday against his former team.
Yuzvendra Chahal has blown hot and cold in IPL 2025. However, he will be high on confidence after registering a hat-trick in the last game against Chennai. Chahal’s role through the middle overs is going to be crucial against the explosive LSG batters.
