LSG vs PBKS Fantasy XI: Best Players to Pick for IPL 2025 Match 13

LSG vs PBKS Fantasy XI: Best Players to Pick for IPL 2025 Match 13

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will face off in the 13th match of Tata IPL 2025 on April 1st at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.

The IPL 2022 season will see a clash between the most expensive and second-most expensive players in the league. LSG's new skipper, Rishabh Pant, will face his former DC coach, Ricky Ponting, who is part of PBKS. Indian batting star Iyer will aim to silence critics and let his bat do the talking in this game. Punjab Kings, led by skipper Shreyas Iyer, had a magnificent opening clash against Gujarat Titans, posting 243 runs in the first innings. However, the IPL 2022 champions fell short by 11 runs. 

Punjab Kings have a blistering start in the cash-rich league this season, but their bowling attack is not entirely convincing. LSG, on the other hand, seem to boast firepower with the bat, but their bowling attack is also under scrutiny. The match will be played at home, with Pant hoping to carry his winning run from their five-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

IPL 2025 Match 13: LSG vs PBKS Pitch Report

The Ekana Cricket Stadium uses two surfaces: black soil and red soil. Black soil surfaces are difficult for batters as the ball grips and reaches slowly, making it difficult for them to score runs. On red soil surfaces, spinners and pacers have better bounce, making it easier for them to score runs. The average first-inning score is 150 runs.
