The Lucknow Super Giants–Punjab Kings series began with a Lucknow defence of 153 in 2022. Four seasons later, Punjab hold the lead: their seven-wicket chase on 23 May 2026 made it five wins from eight IPL meetings. LSG have three. Four consecutive Punjab victories since April 2025 have turned around what was once a Lucknow-led contest.
The scorelines tell two different stories. Lucknow’s most recent win was a 21-run defence in March 2024; Punjab then won twice in 2025 and twice again in 2026. The figures below stop at the completed 23 May 2026 fixture, not an IPL 2027 game or a forecast about the next meeting.

This counts runs in this matchup only, not either batter’s career IPL aggregate.
Opponent-specific men’s IPL runs through 23 May 2026; labels identify the side for which each batter appeared in these meetings, not a confirmed 2027 roster.
Shreyas Iyer‘s unbeaten 101 in that chase moved him to third on 203; his other three innings against LSG for Punjab were 52 not out, 45 and five. Marcus Stoinis ranks fourth on 151, counting runs from his Lucknow appearances and his later Punjab appearances. Nicholas Pooran has 148 for LSG, after adding two in the latest game. A pre-match list had Pooran close to Stoinis and did not place Shreyas among its top five; the May 2026 innings change the final order.
Last five LSG vs PBKS IPL matches
Lucknow’s 196/6 in the latest meeting owed 72 to Josh Inglis and a quick 43 to Badoni. Punjab lost two wickets early, then Prabhsimran’s 69 and Shreyas’s unbeaten 101 took the chase to 200/3 in 18 overs. The seven-wicket margin is a chase margin; Punjab were not defending 200. In the earlier April 2026 fixture, Priyansh Arya made 93 and Cooper Connolly 87 in Punjab’s 254/7, with Lucknow finishing on 200/5 despite four batters reaching at least 35.

At Lucknow in April, LSG’s 171/7 was reached by Punjab at 177/2 in 16.2 overs; Prabhsimran scored 69 and Shreyas finished on 52. Lucknow’s 2024 defence is the fifth row, with Mayank Yadav taking three wickets for 27 after LSG made 199/8. All five rows are completed IPL matches, newest first; scores always show LSG before PBKS, even when Punjab batted first.
