At the Bharat Ratna Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, the Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings will square off in Match 13 of the 2025 Indian Premier League. This will be LSG’s first IPL 2025 home game.
When LSG defeated SRH in their most recent match in Hyderabad, they may have gone against the grain. The tone for the remainder of the match was established by Shardul Thakur’s double strike. Travis Head made the most of the starts that the SRH hitters were able to get. SRH was held to 190 despite some timely sixes from Pat Cummins and Aniket Verma. Unfazed by an early wicket, Nicholas Pooran unleashed a vicious attack on the SRH bowlers, and Mitchell Marsh also hit fifty before Abdul Samad added the final touches, making the chase hardly an issue.
Additionally, PBKS won their lone game of the season. On his debut, Priyansh Arya had things going, but PBKS collapsed in the middle overs. Together with Shashank Singh’s last-over fireworks, captain Shreyas Iyer’s aggressive knock of 97 gave PBKS the necessary total. Jos Buttler and Sai Sudharsan went to work forming a crucial connection that had the potential to end the game. Even though he was wicketless, Vijaykumar Vyshak’s economical overs stopped the Titans in their tracks, but Sherfane Rutherford also attended the celebration.
