Lucknow, Apr 1 (UNI) Punjab Kings won the toss and elected to field against Lucknow Super Giants in the 13th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Monday.
Shreyas Iyer, the captain of Punjab Kings, cited the nature of the red-soil pitch and the possibility of dew as key factors behind his decision to bowl first.
