LSG vs PBKS 13th IPL Match: The 13th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will be played between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Tuesday, 1st April. This match will be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium Lucknow, India.
The good news for Lucknow Super Giants is that Akashdeep seems to be recovering from his back injury. A week ago, head coach Justin Langer had rated his fitness at 90 per cent. Although, on the eve of the match, Shahbaz Ahmed did not comment on his teammate's fitness, there are indications that Akashdeep will not be seen in action against Punjab Kings.
Yuzvendra Chahal has had a poor record against left-handed batsmen compared to right-handed batsmen since last season. His bowling against Nicholas Pooran could be decisive. There is also the fact that Nicholas Pooran has not liked batting here at all. His strike-rate on this ground has dropped to 128 in the last few seasons, which is well below his overall figures. Also, the leg-spinner will get the advantage of huge boundaries on this ground.
The injury is not a concern for Punjab Kings, as they have a full squad of players to choose from. Lockie Ferguson has a great record against two key batsmen of Lucknow Super Giants, Nicholas Pooran (17 balls, 20 runs, 4 outs) and Rishabh Pant (36 balls, 37 runs, 3 outs). He can replace Amatullah Umarzai.
Mitchell Marsh - Mitchell Marsh has batted well in both the matches of LSG against DC and SRH. And the team has used him as an impact player. Mitchell Marsh will have to bat for his team and another player will be taken in the impact player for bowling.
Shahbaz Ahmed - Shahbaz can be useful both as a batsman and a bowler. However, his role as a bowler will be more important than a batsman in Lucknow.
Manimaran Siddharth - Since Lucknow has traditionally been a spin-friendly surface, it would be good for LSG to have as many spinners as possible in their lineup.
Vijaykumar Vyshak - Vijaykumar played as an impact option for PBKS against GT. He can be important for PBKS with his death bowling. And will be used as an impact player in this match as well
Harpreet Brar - Harpreet Brar was not included in the squad against GT. But, given the conditions in Lucknow, he can be important for PBKS as an impact option.
Nehal Wadhera - Wadhera If PBKS bowls first and needs someone who can score runs easily, Nehal can do this job in the lower order. Nehal Wadhera can also play as an impact player in today's match.
