Punjab Kings (PBKS) pulled off a massive 37-run win against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 54 of IPL 2025. Led by a magnificent 91 off 48 from Prabhsimran Singh, PBKS posted a mammoth 236/5, along with an important 45 from Shreyas Iyer and Shashank Singh (33). By getting out quickly in the fashion of Prabhsimran, LSG squandered a massive opportunity that would haunt them for the duration.

In reply, LSG's pursuit never really settled. Ayush Badoni (74) and Abdul Samad (45) battled hard, but the steep required rate and constant wickets killed their ambitions. PBKS bowlers, particularly Arshdeep Singh (3/16) and Azmatullah Omarzai (2/33), kept things tight.

Captain Rishabh Pant lamented missed catches and strategic misinterpretations, attributing "too many runs" to their loss. PBKS's crisp implementation and coolness guaranteed they remained playoff hopefuls, with LSG's leeway for error dwindling with each passing day.

1. Poor Fielding and Dropped Catches

Prabhsimran Singh, the later Player of the Match, was missed early in the 20–25 run zone. He then smashed 91 off 48 deliveries, and it set the tone for the massive score by PBKS. These golden chances not only let batters settle down but also demoralized the bowling unit. As Rishabh Pant conceded, "When you drop important catches at a wrong time, it pains badly."

2. Expensive Bowling in Powerplay and Death Overs

LSG bowlers had trouble adjusting. Both in the power play and death overs, their lengths and lines were not up to mark. PBKS batsmen, particularly Prabhsimran and Shreyas Iyer, took full advantage of the looseness. Digvesh Rathi and Prince Yadav were especially costly, leaking 89 runs in total from 8 overs. Inability to execute on a true batting surface damaged LSG's chances at containment.

3. Inability of Top Order to Fire

Though Ayush Badoni scored a gallant 74 off 40 balls and Abdul Samad contributed 45 (24), the top-order collapse early on left them playing catch-up. The powerplay failures loaded too much pressure on the middle and lower order, which were unable to push the scoring at the needed pace.

The 54th match of IPL 2025 was played between Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants at Dharamshala ground. In this match, Punjab Kings defeated Lucknow team by 37 runs and got their seventh win in this season of IPL 2025. Punjab Kings batted first in the match and scored 236 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. In reply, Lucknow team could only score 199 runs for the loss of seven wickets in the stipulated 20 overs.

Talking about this match, Punjab Kings were batting first in this match. Punjab Kings had a very bad start, Priyansh Arya was out after scoring one run in the very first over. After this, Josh English, who came to bat at number three, played an innings of 30 runs in 14 balls with the help of four tremendous sixes. After that captain Shreyas Iyer shared a 78-run partnership with Prabhsimran Singh. Shreyas Iyer played an innings of 45 runs in 25 balls. While Prabhsimran Singh missed his century, he scored 91 runs in just 48 balls with the help of 6 fours and 7 sixes. After this, Shashank Singh played an innings of 33 runs in just 15 balls with the help of four fours and a six. Stoinis also played an innings of 15 runs in five balls. Akash Singh and Digvesh Rathi took two wickets each from the Lucknow team. Prince Yadav also got one wicket.

Lucknow's batting flopped in run chase

Lucknow Supergiants had a very bad start while chasing the target of 237 runs given by Punjab Kings and Mitchell Marsh was dismissed by Arshdeep Singh without opening the account. After this, Aiden Markram was bowled by Arshdeep after scoring 13 runs in 10 balls. Nicholas Pooran also got out LBW after scoring 6 runs in five balls and the score of Lucknow team became 27 runs for the loss of three wickets. After this, captain Rishabh Pant came to bat and he also flopped once again. He returned to the pavilion after playing an innings of 18 runs in 17 balls. David Miller also could not score 11 runs in 8 balls.

Badoni and Samad saved the honor of the Lucknow team

In a thrilling IPL 2025 encounter at Match 54, Punjab Kings (PBKS) clashed with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a high-scoring affair that showcased explosive batting and disciplined bowling. PBKS dominated proceedings, setting a towering target of 236/5, which LSG struggled to chase, finishing at 198/7. PBKS secured a commanding 37-run victory. This win bolstered PBKS’s playoff hopes, further intensifying the race.

Punjab Kings Innings

Punjab Kings posed a formidable 236/5 in 20 overs, propelled by Prabhsimran Singh's destructive 91 off 48 balls, that provided a healthy base. 45 off 25 by Shreyas Iyer and Shashank Singh's 33 off 15 supported the inning, while the finishing touches came from Akash Singh (2* off 4), Digvesh Rathi (2* off 4), and Prince Yadav (1* off 4). LSG’s Arshdeep Singh impressed with 3/16, removing key batters, while Azmatullah Omarzai (2/33) and Marco Jansen (1/31) tried to stem the flow, but PBKS’s aggressive batting proved too much.

Lucknow Super Giants Innings

Chasing 237, LSG managed 198/7, falling short by 38 runs. Ayush Badoni’s 74 off 40 kept hopes alive, and Abdul Samad’s 45 off 24 offered support, but their dismissals triggered a collapse. Avesh Khan (19* off 10) and Arshdeep Singh (3 off 16) were not able to do the turnround, whereas Azmatullah Omarzai (2 off 3) and Marco Jansen (1 off 4) got out cheaply. The bowlers from PBKS, Akash Singh (2/30), Digvesh Rathi (2/46), and Prince Yadav (1/43), kept the pressure going, achieving an authoritative win.

PBKS vs LSG: Weather and Pitch Report

On May 4, 2025, it appears that Dharamsala will be cool and pleasant for an evening match, with temperatures between 17–23°C (63–73°F) and humidity of around 50–60%. There is a 55–60% chance of rain earlier in the day, but the conditions should have cleared by match time, with no interruptions expected during the game. The pitch should provide a good batting wicket with some early assistance for the pacers, who will be aided by the high altitude and the cool weather. Dew is expected to have a big influence in the second innings to benefit the chasing team. There should be a turn for the spinners, but the relatively short boundaries (60–65 meters square, 70 meters straight) will entice the batsmen to overhit.

PBKS vs LSG: Match Preview

Punjab Kings (PBKS) are performing decently in IPL 2025 with 5 wins out of 10 games, under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. Iyer leads with his run scoring, alongside Priyansh Arya and allrounder and finisher Shashank Singh. Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell provide further experience at the top order, but Maxwell is likely to be out from the IPL. The bowling is led by Arshdeep Singh as well as supported by Yuzvendra Chahal and Lockie Ferguson to compliment the pace and spin. Most importantly, PBKS will be buoyed by their previous victory against LSG on April 25, 2025 (where Iyer scored 67 runs and Singh scored 41*) with Iyer’s batting showcasing the quality that PBKS needs more of. However, since 2013, PBKS has been one of the poorest teams at HPCA stadium and will look to rectify that, gaining ground on LSG, who, although following recent performances (6 wins in IPL 2025 so far under Rishabh Pant), are still a strong team and act contentiously with Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram, and Mitchell Marsh forming a strong batting core of their team, although Rishabh Pant’s batting continues to be a question. Also, Lucknow needs to adjust to the gripping turf pitches at HPCA Stadium, with Bishnoi spin likely to be a key part of their strategy. Further to increase Lucknow's resilience, they have Shardul Thakur and Avesh Khan to round out their pace attack, and while injuries to Mayank Yadav and Akash Deep will likely test their squad depth, fill-in player Digvesh Rathi has done possibly quite well. Dew could also prove to provide idiosyncrasies for LSG, especially with what looks to be some not experienced or out-of-form bowlers.

The IPL 2025 match no 54  Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants (PBKS vs LSG) match. The game between PBKS vs LSG of the IPL 2025 will be played on May 04 at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala.  Punjab Kings, who failed to reach the Playoffs in the last ten seasons, and finished in the ninth position in the IPL 2024 will face Lucknow Super Giants, who finished in seventh place.

The clash between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2024 Match 11 has set the stage for a thrilling encounter, with both teams showcasing their prowess on the field. But Lucknow Super Giants make a stunning comeback win to defeat Punjab Kings by 21 runs at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Saturday.

The dominance of Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow

Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow were the architects of the Punjab Kings’ innings, unleashing an array of boundaries and sixes to bolster their team’s total. However, their partnership faced a setback when IPL debutant Mayank Yadav intervened, inducing a crucial wicket.

Shikhar Dhawan (70 off 49) and Jonny Bairstow crafted a brisk 42 off just 29 deliveries. But debutant Mayank Yadav broke the parternship of 102 runs for the first wicket and clinched three crucial wickets to break the backbone of Punjab’s strong start. Prabhsimran Singh as an impact substitute scored 19 runs off a mere 7 balls, embellished with two sixes and a boundary.

Mayank, making an impressive debut, bagged the wicket of wicketkeeper-batsman Jitesh Sharma (7 off 9) in a similar manner to Bairstow’s departure. Shashank Singh (8 off 6) and Livingstone’s spirited effort, accumulating 27 runs off just 16 deliveries laced with two sixes and an equal number of boundaries, PBKS ultimately fell short by 21 runs.

Mayank Yadav’s Impact on the Match

This intervention altered the course of the match, injecting a sense of momentum into LSG’s campaign. He finished his spell of 4 overs with a figure of 3/27 with an impressive economy of 6.8.

Lucknow Super Giants Batting Performance

Lucknow Super Giants endured a tumultuous journey in their innings, witnessing a flurry of wickets at regular intervals. From the early departures of KL Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal to the dismissals of Marcus Stoinis, Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, and Ravi Bishnoi, LSG faced formidable challenges.

Impressive Innings by LSG Batsmen

Despite the setbacks, Lucknow Super Giants rallied, thanks to stellar performances by Quinton de Kock, Krunal Pandya, and Nicholas Pooran. Quinton de Kock (54), Krunal Pandya (43*) and Nicholas Pooran (42). Their combined efforts propelled LSG to a commanding total of 199/8 in 20 overs, showcasing resilience and determination in adverse conditions.

The first wicket to fall tonight was KL Rahul, who went for 15 off nine deliveries in the fourth over. Followed by Devdutt Padikkal (six-ball 9), Marcus Stoinis gone for 19; Quinton de Kock gone for 54; Nicholas Pooran gone for 42. Ayush Badoni gone for 8. Ravi Bishnoi gone for duck. Mohsin Khan run out for two runs – Harshal Patel is turning out to be quite the finisher.

Toss Decision and Captaincy Change
