The 13th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is set to be played between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) on April 1 at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. This highly anticipated IPL match is a golden opportunity for fantasy cricket enthusiasts to make informed choices for their fantasy team predictions.

Big Picture

Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a massive 286 for 6 in their opening IPL 2025 game, challenging LSG’s inexperienced bowling attack. However, LSG’s disciplined death bowling turned the tide. PBKS, on the other hand, scored a staggering 243 for 5 in their first match, proving their aggressive intent. Now, they face off against LSG in a high-stakes IPL fantasy cricket encounter.

Shardul Thakur has been advocating for bowler-friendly pitches, and the Ekana Cricket Stadium is expected to favor bowlers. However, LSG has a 50-50 record at home, and Nicholas Pooran’s IPL stats at this venue show an average below 25, with a highest score of 42 in 14 matches.

Pitch Report

The Ekana Cricket Stadium pitch report suggests that the IPL match venue will favor bowlers. The black soil surface makes batting challenging, while the red soil offers assistance to spinners and pacers. The average IPL first-innings score here is around 150-160 runs.
