The 13th match of IPL 2025 between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will take place on April 1 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. Both teams are in good form, having won their previous matches, and will aim to continue their winning streak. LSG is led by Rishabh Pant, while PBKS is captained by Shreyas Iyer.

LSG defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad, while PBKS also secured a dominant win over Hyderabad.
LSG vs PBKS Lucknow Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at Ekana Stadium is made of red soil and is slightly off-center, which can make it difficult for bowlers to defend the shorter boundary side. However, since it is one of the larger grounds in India, bowlers might get some relief.
The pitch is on the slower side, which means spinners will have an advantage. The ball is expected to grip and turn, making shot-making difficult for batters. Batsmen will need to play sensibly in the middle overs and capitalize on the powerplay to score quickly.
Since the red soil pitch assists spinners, batters will have to be cautious in the middle overs while trying to maximize runs in the powerplay.
