The inclusion of speedster Mayank Yadav has also strengthened LSG's bowling lineup. The dugout will heavily rely on their in-form batsman Nicholas Pooran to deliver a crucial performance against Punjab.

PBKS will expect a strong start from their opening duo, Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya. Their in-form skipper Shreyas will also help them stabilise the innings in the middle.

Currently, Punjab is placed in the fourth position on the IPL 2025 points table with 13 points. Whereas LSG's chances to make the cut to the playoffs are thin. Lucknow has been able to win five matches and has suffered defeats in the same number of games.
