Punjab Kings have turned the LSG vs PBKS head to head around: after losing three of the first four games, they have won the last 4 and now lead 5-3. The first of their 8 IPL games was on 29 Apr 2022, the most recent on 23 May 2026.
That last game was played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, where Punjab won by 7 wickets and Shreyas Iyer (SS Iyer) made 101*, the only hundred in the fixture. Sides setting a target own 5 of those results, and a first innings here averages 203.

Lucknow Super Giants made the better start. They won the first meeting by 20 runs in Pune in 2022, split the two 2023 games, and won by 21 runs at home in 2024. At that point LSG led 3-1.
Since then it has all been Punjab. In 2025 they beat LSG twice, by 8 wickets in Lucknow and 37 runs in Dharamsala, and they repeated the double in 2026, by 54 runs in Mullanpur and 7 wickets in Lucknow. That is the longest winning run in this fixture.
