LSG has shown promise, qualifying for the playoffs in both their first two seasons (2022 and 2023). The highest total in an LSG vs PBKS fixture is 257, scored by LSG, and the lowest total is 133, scored by PBKS. LSG scored the second-highest team total in IPL history when they faced PBKS in 2023, amassing 257 runs for the loss of five wickets.
In the IPL 2025, PBKS will be led by Shreyas Iyer, and Rishabh Pant will lead the LSG franchise. The two teams have faced off against each other in the IPL 2025 league stage match in Lucknow on April 01. PBKS got the better of LSG as they won the game comprehensively in the end. They chased down the target of 172 with eight wickets and 3.4 overs to spare. The two teams will again play in a reverse fixture, at Dharamsala on May 04. (via IPL's official website)
