IPL 2025 Preview: PBKS vs LSG - Weather-Pitch Analysis, Expected Lineups, and More Insights
Get ready for a nail-biting IPL 2025 encounter between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) taking place on Sunday evening! Shreyas Iyer's PBKS, currently in fourth place with 13 points, will face off against Rishab Pant's LSG, fighting hard for the sixth position with 10 points.
Shreyas Iyer, acquired for Rs 26.75 crore, has proved his mettle with commendable captaincy skills and recently led PBKS to victory over CSK. On the other hand, Rishab Pant's performance seems questionable, with only 110 runs in 10 innings.
Dharamshala's Cricket Ground: A Seamers' Playground?
Dharamshala's pitch is known for its batting-friendly nature, providing bounce and pace. However, the high altitude and seaming conditions might make life difficult for spinners. Seamers may find the pitch conducive for swing, while batters can capitalize on the flat nature of the ground under lights. The short boundaries encourage aggressive shot-making. Rain could add some extra moisture to the pitch, making it tricky for both sides.
Weather Forecast: Dharamshala's Unpredictable Afternoon
Rain showers are likely to hit Dharamshala between 2 to 4 PM on the day of the match, which could potentially affect the pitch conditions. Fortunately, the weather is expected to improve in the evening, reducing the risk of weather-related disruptions, and maintaining a temperature range of 18 to 20 degrees Celsius.
Who Will Make It to the Playoffs? Playing XI Predictions
PBKS's probable playing XI: Priyansh Arya, Shreyas Iyer (c), Josh Inglis (w), Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh, Glenn Maxwell, Azmatullah Omarzai, Marco Jansen, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal
Impact players: Prabhsimran Singh
