Punjab Kings (PBKS) will face Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 54th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match will be played at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, on May 4 at 07:30 PM IST.

Punjab Kings thrashed Chennai Super Kings by 4 wickets in their last match and made their place in the top four of the IPL 2025, they have a winning momentum on their back, and they will look to capitalise on this form to climb to the top spot when they face LSG in their next home match. With an in-form top-order and a regular wicket-taking bowling lineup, PBKS will look to exploit their home advantage. Shreyas Iyer's side is currently sitting at the 4th spot in the IPL 2025 points table.

Struggling Lucknow Super Giants are looking to bounce back from their previous back-to-back defeats. They are fighting for their playoff spot in this competitive IPL 2025 tournament. They are coming into this match after losing to the Mumbai Indians by 54 runs in their last match. They are currently sitting in sixth place with 10 points from 10 matches. This is a must-win clash for the Rishabh Pant-led side. 

This Dharamsala surface offers a fairly balanced game between bat and ball. Batters are likely to enjoy a good time playing on this surface, and leg break bowlers are likely to get assistance from this surface. The average first innings total in IPL 2024 was 204 here, and this will be the first match scheduled to be played here, but it is expected to be a high-scoring match, considering the nature of the surface.

Punjab Kings: Shreyas Iyer (c), Harpreet Brar, Azmatullah Omarzai, Josh Inglis (wk), Shashank Singh, Marco Jansen, Nehal Wadhera, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Suryansh Shedge, Priyansh Arya.
