IPL 2025: When is PBKS’ Next Match? All you need to know about their Opponent, Probable XI, & head-to-head stats

Punjab Kings (PBKS) strengthened their position in the race for the playoffs in the ongoing IPL 2025 by defeating Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Chennai in their last game. With this win, they are now in the second spot with 13 points in 10 games and a net run rate of +0.199. 

However, they will look to remain within the top two spots with four more games to go in the group stage, as that will give them a chance to play Qualifier One. Hence, to continue this momentum, PBKS’ next challenge is against Lucknow Super Giants in Dharamsala on 4 May. LSG are currently in sixth place with 10 points in 10 games and a net run rate of -0.325.   

Match details

Fixture: Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants
Date & Time: May 4, 2025, 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala 

PBKS Probable XI 

Priyansh Arya, Shreyas Iyer (capt), Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh, Josh Inglis (wk), Marco Jansen, Suryansh Shedge, Azmatullah Omarzai, Harpreet Brar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh.

Unfortunately, it seems that PBKS are set to miss the Aussie all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, as their captain Shreyas Iyer confirmed at the toss vs CSK that Maxwell has fractured his finger. 

Still, the win in Chennai showed that they have a solid playing XI, and they are most likely to go with the same set of players in the next clash. Both the explosive openers, Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya, will be there. Prabhsimran might play as an impact sub. Then, Iyer at number three, followed by Wadhera, Shashank, and Inglis. 

Marco Jansen will be expected to deliver with both bat and ball. Suryansh Shedge is another talented youngster who is yet to perform but has all the potential. Harpreet Brar and Chahal will be the two spin-bowling options, especially as Chahal is coming into this upcoming clash after a hat-trick. The two pacers will be Omarzai and Arshdeep.   

Head-to-Head record   

In the five IPL matches so far between these sides, PBKS have won twice while LSG have won thrice. In the reverse fixture this season, PBKS defeated LSG by eight wickets.
