Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 13th match of IPL 2025 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on April 1.
Here are the top three battles to look out for in today’s LSG vs PBKS clash:
Mitchell Marsh vs Arshdeep Singh
This battle will be crucial at the top of the order. Arshdeep, an excellent white-ball bowler, was bought by PBKS for ₹18 crore, and he immediately proved his worth in the first match with figures of 2/36.
Marsh has made a strong start in this year’s IPL, scoring 72 and 52 in his first two innings. So far, he has faced 16 balls from Arshdeep in T20s, scoring 39 runs and getting dismissed only once. Marsh will aim to dominate Arshdeep to provide LSG with a solid start, while Arshdeep will look to deliver an early breakthrough for PBKS.
Shreyas Iyer vs Shardul Thakur
The PBKS skipper, Shreyas Iyer, began his IPL 2025 campaign with an unbeaten knock of 97, and now he will look to continue that momentum. But his battle against Shardul Thakur will be crucial. Shardul has also impressed this season, especially with the new ball. So far, in T20s, Iyer has scored 55 runs off 35 balls against Shardul, getting dismissed only once, with a strike rate of 157.1.
Rishabh Pant vs Lockie Ferguson
Lockie Ferguson has a fantastic record against Pant and Nicholas Pooran in T20s. Pant has faced 36 balls from Ferguson, scoring only 37 runs while being dismissed three times. Pooran has scored 21 runs off 20 deliveries against Ferguson but has been dismissed four times. Considering these stats, the PBKS management might be tempted to include Ferguson in their playing XI against LSG.
