PBKS vs LSG, IPL 2025: Punjab Kings (PBKS) would be hoping to strengthen their playoffs chances when they take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala in the evening game of the double header on Sunday. PBKS have six victories from ten games, which puts them in fourth place in the standings. A victory against LSG would move PBKS into the top two and almost guarantee their berth in the playoffs for the first time since 2014.

After five victories and five losses, LSG are in sixth place. Lucknow, on the other hand, will look to return to winning ways after losing their previous two matches. With the playoffs race getting stiff day by day, LSG cannot afford to make too many mistakes.
