The Lucknow Super Giants are all set to host the Punjab Kings in the 13th game of the IPL 2025, slated to take place on April 1 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. It is a clash between the most expensive and the second-most expensive players in IPL history.
For the first time, LSG’s new skipper, Rishabh Pant, will be facing his former DC coach, Ricky Ponting, who is a part of PBKS this time. The Indian batting star will be eager to silence his critics and let his bat do the talking in this game. On the other hand, Iyer led PBKS with a match-winning unbeaten 97 in the opening clash. The 2024 IPL-winning skipper is relishing playing at number three and aims to continue in the same vein.
Rishabh Pant and his men will be playing their first game at home and hoping to carry their winning run from their five-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last encounter. Top-order batters Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran racked up 52 and 70 runs, respectively, that led their batting attack with the side reaching the target of 191 with four overs to spare.
