Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants Match Scorecard: Prabhsimran Singh’s enthralling knock of 48-ball 91 powered Punjab Kings to a massive 236 on the board in 20 overs in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Sunday.
Seeking a crucial win to boost playoff hopes, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant won the toss and opted to bowl first against Punjab Kings (PBKS).
In this evening fixture, the spotlight will be on two captains, who have had contrasting results individually. LSG captain Rishabh Pant’s poor form has placed his side in a virtual must-win situation against PBKS, with LSG currently sixth on the table with 10 points.
PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer, who played a key role in Kolkata Knight Riders’ title-winning campaign last season but was released before the mega auction, was snapped up by PBKS for a staggering Rs 26.75 crore. Since then, he has made an immediate impact with sharp tactical leadership.
