Punjab Kings is led by Shreyas Iyer and secured the fourth position with 13 points. While Rishab Pant’s LSG is in the sixth position with 10 points, facing a tight fight between both.

PBKS vs LSG pitch report
Dharmashala is ready to host its first IPL 2025 match on Sunday evening. The pitch is usually considered batting-friendly with bounce and pace, and ideal stroke to play. Also, the high altitude sometimes gives the ball a push to fly high. Seamers may find the pitch a little swing for the match, and spinners might struggle to maintain grip. Rain is also a possibility for the evening match, adding moisture to the pitch.
