Preview

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are all set to host the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 13th game of the IPL 2025, slated to take place on April 1 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. It is a clash between the most expensive and the second-most expensive players in IPL history.

For the first time, LSG's new skipper, Rishabh Pant, will be facing his former DC coach, Ricky Ponting, who is a part of PBKS this time. The Indian batting star will be eager to silence his critics and let his bat do the talking in this game. On the other hand, Iyer led PBKS with a match-winning unbeaten 97 in the opening clash. The 2024 IPL-winning skipper is relishing playing at number three and aims to continue in the same vein.

Rishabh Pant and his men will be playing their first game at home and hoping to carry their winning run from their five-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last encounter. Top-order batters Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran racked up 52 and 70 runs, respectively, that led their batting attack with the side reaching the target of 191 with four overs to spare.

On the flip side, Punjab Kings were magnificent in their opening clash against Gujarat Titans. Skipper Shreyas Iyer's knock of unbeaten 97 and the fiery knock of star batter Shashank Singh allowed them to post 243 runs in the first innings. The IPL 2022 champions fell short by 11 runs.

The Punjab Kings are off to a blistering start in the cash-rich league this season. However, their bowling attack doesn't look entirely convincing as of now. On the other side, LSG seem to boast firepower with the bat, but their bowling attack is also under scrutiny.

Pitch Report

The surface at the Ekana Cricket Stadium majorly favours the bowlers, and it won't be wrong to say that it's a nightmare for the batters. There are two types of surfaces used at the Ekana Stadium - black soil and red soil surfaces. The ball grips and reaches slowly to the batters on the black soil surface, which makes it challenging for the batters to score runs. On the other hand, on the red soil surface, spinners get help while pacers also get a decent bounce, however, it is comparatively easier to score runs on the red soil surface.

Nicholas Pooran LSG | WK

The West Indies power hitter and LSG dashing batter has been making bold headlines with his blistering performance. The left-handed batter has racked up an incredible 145 runs in the last two matches. One can look to have him as a captaincy pick considering his red-hot form.
