PBKS vs LSG Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – IPL 2025, 54th Match

Match Preview

Punjab’s chances will likely rest on their ability to control the game with the ball. Shreyas Iyer will be the anchor to the Punjab ship with the bat. They will keep their title hopes alive by at least getting into a decent position for the top four.

This is a grudge game after Lucknow were given a resounding hiding by their hosts. The Super Giants won’t be fully out of the race for top four, but will make their lives more difficult without a win on the road.

Both teams could grab momentum from a vital win in a crucial game. They haven’t been perfect yet, but could kick into gear at the back end of the tournament.

Injuries & Illnesses

Punjab Kings will have a Glenn Maxwell size hole to fill in their squad. The Lucknow Super Giants have no new injury concerns to worry about.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The new ball swing bowlers will benefit from damp conditions in the early parts of the match. The batters could find the early adjustment to skiddy pace tricky, but may be able to score more freely after the powerplay. The spinners might not find too much turn, so they will need to have a rethink about how they use their pace and flight on this pitch.
