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 Dharamsala.
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: Rishabh Pant’s fluctuating performances in the IPL haven’t raised major alarms, largely because of the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket and his naturally attacking approach. Still, his lack of consistency in white-ball formats isn’t a recent issue, and his selection for the 2024 T20 World Cup in the USA and Caribbean sparked some debate. While India explored other wicketkeeping options during his injury layoff, none managed to lock down the role. In the end, Pant’s explosive left-handed batting offered a much-needed “X-factor” in an otherwise right-heavy batting lineup, making his inclusion vital for the team’s overall balance.
PBKS vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium offers an even playing field for both batters and bowlers. While it allows for high scoring — evident from RCB’s 241-run total in their most recent T20 appearance — the surface also supports seamers with its lively pace and bounce.
