PBKS vs LSG
PBKS beat LSG by 37 runs to climb into second place in the IPL 2025 table, thanks to an outstanding 91 from opener Prabhsimran Singh – with this powerful performance helping them easily tackle a target of 172 with ease. Their batsmen will surely take heart from this victory as they aim to secure a playoff berth.
LSG’s reply got off to an inauspicious start as Quinton de Kock and Nicholas Pooran fell early to spinners Mohammad Nabi and Sam Curran respectively, followed by regular wicket losses until LSG were reduced to 199/7; only Abdul Samad (74 off 40) kept them within reach of a top four finish.
Rishabh Pant hasn’t had the best of starts in 2019, yet his batting line-up boasts quality players such as Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram and Azmatullah Omarzai to provide stability at the top of their order – Mayank Yadav’s return from injury adds additional pace.
Both teams are in pursuit of playoff spots and aim to secure victories in their remaining matches.
PBKS currently hold the upper hand but their next encounter away to Delhi Capitals could prove challenging; LSG have a lot at stake and must perform strongly across the board; their loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday proved costly but Shreyas Iyer remains as their leader and can prove instrumental for LSG’s chances.
They will also benefit from Glenn Maxwell’s return along with Aaron Hardie and Azmatullah Omarzai joining Aaron Hardie in LSG’s ranks as well.
LSG vs PBKS Live Streaming
Indian Premier League season continues to thrill, and Sunday’s match between PBKS and LSG should provide another nail-biting contest. Shreyas Iyer-led PBKS have surged up the table to fourth, while Rishabh Pant’s LSG need an upturn in fortunes for survival.
The match will take place at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium, an ideal pitch for batsmen and bowlers alike, though spinners tend to get an advantage here due to lower average first innings scores at this ground (165 runs on average per first inning). Both sides will want to put up big scores at Ekana to see which one can pull away early.
Even after an inauspicious start to their innings, PBKS managed to rebound well and post 236/5 in 20 overs. An early dismissal for Priyansh Arya gave way to some anxiety before Prabhsimran Singh (91 off 48 balls) and Josh Inglish (30 off 25) steadied PBKS’ innings for them quickly accumulating such an impressive total quickly; Iyer and Prabhsimran’s brilliant 78-run partnership in Iyer’s final overs allowed them to easily achieve their target with ease.
LSG struggled to get their game going in their chase of PBKS’ target of 200/7 but were never going to challenge for top four places.
Arshdeep Singh struck early for PBKS by taking Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram wickets within short succession for 27/3 – leaving Abhishek Badoni and Abdul Samad largely responsible for this score being reached but never enough to challenge for top four positions.
PBKS have won three of six IPL encounters against LSG, and will look to maintain that winning run when they meet on Sunday. But LSG are in decent form themselves and would like nothing better than to secure top four finish with more wins in their remaining three matches.
The winner of this clash will go top of the table while losingr could risk missing playoff berth altogether; start time is set for 7:30 pm IST while the Jio Hotstar app and website will broadcast live coverage with toss taking place at 7:00 pm IST while both will offer live commentary in multiple languages! Match will take place on a red soil pitch designed to benefit spinners.
