IPL 2025 PBKS vs LSG Match Prediction: Who will win today's match? Punjab Kings or the Lucknow Super Giants: Who can fancy their chances into the playoffs?
PBKS vs LSG Match Prediction: The Lucknow Super Giants are currently 6th and the Punjab Kings are currently 4th on the IPL 2025 points table, will look to advance into the playoffs as they are still very much in contention for the big game.
The PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer and the LSG skipper Rishabh Pant have turned out to be the two most costly players in the history of the IPL. Bid at INR 27 crores and INR 26.75 crores. These two players have been in some form of life. Iyer has backed his price tag with some stellar performances and some stunning leadership. Lucknow skipper Pant has been in disappointing form with the bat, though even his antics have been very special with the gloves as well as on the field as a skipper.
Considering PBKS's second home ground, the Dharamshala Stadium is one of the highest cricket stadiums in the world; the players might have some respite from the heat of city life. PBKS could think of a fair chance to get into the playoffs as they will play their next three games in this venue.

PBKS vs LSG Match Prediction: Win Probability
Yuzvendra Chahal has been used very finely by skipper Shreyas Iyer, as he has been monumental at different junctures of the game. PBKS do not have a very favourable record here; however, the new 11 have been standouts on all venues across India.
Lucknow Super Giants still hold the record for having scored the highest total at this venue, with 257 runs, where Stoinis played a special role, but this time he can star in PBKS colours. Also, Chahal vs. Pooran will be an interesting contest, which might be crucial in any phase of the game.
