Punjab, Kings
Sports News: In the 54th match of the Indian Premier League 2025, the Punjab Kings team defeated Lucknow Super Giants. In this match played in Dharamshala, Punjab defeated the LSG team by 37 runs thanks to Prabhsimran's explosive innings. Captain Iyer also contributed significantly in this spectacular victory of Punjab, who scored 45 runs with the help of 4 fours and 2 sixes in 25 balls. Batting first, Punjab Kings scored 236 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 20 overs. In response, the LSG team could only score 199 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs. In this way, Punjab Kings did a great job in Dharamshala.
Actually, the Punjab Kings team has won after 12 years at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. Earlier, the team had last won on this ground in the year 2013. Then the captain of the team was Adam Gilchrist. Now Shreyas Iyer has become the second captain to lead Punjab to victory in Dharamshala. Let us tell you, in the last two seasons, PBKS lost all four of their matches on this ground. From 2010 to 2013, 2 matches were played every season in Dharamshala, but after that no IPL match was held here for 9 years. Matches are being played here every season from IPL 2023. Dharamshala has got the hosting of 3 matches in IPL 2025.
By defeating LSG in Dharamsala, the Punjab team not only strengthened its claim for the playoffs but also took a big leap in the points table and reached the second position. Punjab Kings have 15 points after winning seven out of 11 matches. You will be surprised to know that this has happened after 11 years in IPL, when the Punjab Kings team has more than 14 points in the league stage. Earlier in the year 2014, the team had achieved 22 points. However, this season the Punjab team will not be able to match the performance of IPL 2014 because the team now has 3 matches left in the league stage and even if it wins all three matches, its maximum will be only 21 points.
