The upcoming match will take place between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) and both teams will go for their second win in IPL 2025. Following a devastating defeat to the Delhi Capitals in their season opener, LSG returned to winning ways against SRH. Sunrisers Hyderabad were defeated by five wickets because of Shardul Thakur's outstanding bowling performance. SRH was restricted to 190 runs in the first innings by the Indian all-rounder, who removed four of their batsmen. Nicholas Pooran's lightning-fast half-century during the chase ensured a terrific win for LSG.

LSG vs PBKS: Pitch Report
The red soil surface used for the match is a little off-center, which should make it difficult for bowlers to defend the shorter side. However, pacers will get some relief because it is one of India's biggest venues. Spinners will benefit from the slow surface, which may offer grip and turn while making it challenging for the ball to land on the bat. In the middle overs, batters must use the power play and rotate the strike.
