With the playoff race growing fiercer, Punjab Kings are set to push for a place in the top four as they make a quick shift to the scenic heights of Himachal Pradesh, where they will take on Lucknow Super Giants in Dharamshala.
Sunday evening at the HPCA Stadium may offer a stark contrast in playing conditions compared to the 53 league matches played so far. In the elevated terrain, Punjab Kings and Shreyas Iyer could gain some breathing room, as three victories in their remaining four fixtures might be enough to secure a Playoff berth. On the other hand, Rishabh Pant’s Lucknow side won’t enjoy the same margin for error.
Having collected 10 points from 10 matches, a struggling Rishabh Pant and an inconsistent Lucknow side must win all of their remaining games to stay in the hunt for a Playoff spot. All eyes will be on Pant, who has yet to rediscover the aggressive form he’s known for. Lucknow will be counting on their other key hitters, Mitch Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran to maintain their form when facing Punjab’s formidable bowling unit.
PBKS vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Prince Yadav has struck, sending Nehal Wadhera back to the pavilion. It was a pinpoint yorker that Wadhera attempted to swipe across the line but failed to connect. That’s the kind of precision LSG will need in the upcoming overs if they hope to keep PBKS under a competitive total. With wickets tumbling, the flow of runs has also slowed. Prabhsimran, who’s looked solid at the crease so far, will now need to step up and steer the innings through to the end.
PBKS vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: A solid stand is forming between Prabhsimran and Shreyas Iyer, keeping things steady in the middle. The decision to send Jos Inglis up the order appears to be a smart tactical move. Earlier in the season, his role in the lineup seemed unclear, but batting at number three has brought better structure to Punjab’s innings, with Iyer slotting in at four to guide the middle overs. Interestingly, Akash Singh has already bowled out his full quota within the first eight overs—something rarely seen in the modern game. It’s a strategy often associated with MS Dhoni, so it’s refreshing to witness another team employ it. Overall, it’s been a standout debut for Akash in LSG colours.

PBKS vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Akash Singh has struck again, claiming his second wicket. He bowled a short ball that Inglis attempted to pull toward the leg side, but it came off the splice and went straight to David Miller at square leg, who made no mistake. This match has been nothing short of action-packed—either a boundary or a dismissal every few deliveries. Shreyas Iyer is the new man in and will likely aim to stabilize the innings from this point. Meanwhile, there’s been a missed opportunity in the field—Prabhsimran lofted a fuller delivery skyward, giving Pooran ample time under it, but he couldn’t hold on as the ball slipped through his fingers.
PBKS vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: It’s been a contrast from both ends—Prabhsimran is playing a measured knock, while Jos Inglis is striking at a much quicker tempo. Punjab Kings have gotten off to a promising beginning, with Inglis’s brisk innings providing early momentum. As the ball loses its shine and swing becomes less of a factor, the conditions could turn very favorable for batting. With the platform already set, Punjab might aim for a total in the 200–220 range. As the evening progresses and dew becomes a factor, run-scoring is likely to become easier—something they’ll need to factor into their strategy.
PBKS vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Priyansh Arya is the first to depart. Akash delivered a wide ball, and Arya sliced it straight to the fielder at third man near the rope. A positive start for Lucknow, especially with early movement aiding the pacers—as expected on this pitch. Now, Mayank Yadav joins the attack from the opposite end, and if he gets the length right, there’s definitely something in the surface for him too. From Punjab’s angle, there’s an interesting shuffle in the batting order—Jos Inglis has come in at No. 3, a spot previously occupied by Shreyas Iyer in earlier matches.
PBKS vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: There’s a vibrant atmosphere here in Dharamsala as the action kicks off at this venue for the first time this season. While this ground is typically known for producing big totals, the prolonged pitch covering might make batting a bit challenging early on. Conditions could offer some assistance to the bowlers with the new ball.
