Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be aiming to win back-to-back games when they take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Tuesday evening. This is the 13th match of the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season and will be played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Both teams won their respective last game leading up to this match.
Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings Match Preview
Lucknow Super Giants clocked a magnificent win in their last outing. Rishabh Pant’s team was chasing a challenging total of 190 runs against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. It was supposed to be tough run chase, but as soon as Nicholas Pooran arrived on the crease in the 2nd over, the match became a one-sided affair. Pooran, together with Mitchell Marsh, added 116 runs off just 43 balls. This partnership finished the game as LSG won in 16.1 overs, winning the game by five wickets.
At home, LSG are expected to produce another solid performance, but it won’t be easy as facing them are Punjab Kings, who themselves won their opening game after some terrific performances with the bat from Shreyas Iyer, Shashank Singh, and young batter Priyansh Arya.

LSG vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction: Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Pitch Report: The pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground is generally considered a slow one with ample support for the spinners. Even the fast bowlers tend to bowl cutters and slower balls to get the most out of the surface. Any score between 170-180 runs can be considered a good total on this surface.
Dream11 Combination: Ravi Bishnoi and Yuzvendra Chahal can play a big role in this game.
Weather Report: Weather will be clear in Lucknow on Tuesday, April 01, 2025, with no chance of rain. The maximum temperature could go as high as 36°C during the day. But since this is an evening game, weather should cool down by few degrees.
