Punjab Kings innings
PBKS finished with a great performance, posting a formidable 236/5 at the end of 20 overs. The performance in the last over, featuring Shashank Singh’s blistering 33 off 15 balls and Marcus Stoinis’ fiery cameo of 15 from just 5 balls, made the match more interesting. Prabhsimran held the fort for Punjab Kings and scored 90 runs. Despite some strong bowling from Avesh Khan and Digvesh Rathi, PBKS set a daunting target, finishing with a superb run rate of 11.80.
The IPL 2025 playoff race is in full swing and is getting tighter by the day. Two teams have already exited the tournament and another teeters on the edge. Meanwhile, Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants, currently sitting at fourth and sixth respectively, are still in the hunt and will be desperate to keep their playoff hopes alive in tonight’s high-stakes clash.
Lucknow, with five wins and five losses, have slipped to sixth place after back-to-back defeats. A win against PBKS would not only stabilise their campaign but also keep them ahead in a close points-table contest. PBKS, just ahead in fourth, will aim to build momentum and distance themselves from the mid-table logjam.
History slightly favors LSG, who have won three of their five previous matchups against Punjab. The game will be held in Dharamsala, where the average first-innings score since 2023 is 201. While teams have preferred to chase, only one has won doing so. A cool 16°C evening awaits, with light showers possible earlier in the day.
