LSG vs GT Match Prediction & Analysis Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Gujarat Titans in the 26th match of IPL 2025 this Saturday in Lucknow. LSG’s season has been a mixed bag so far — they’ve won three and lost two, which puts them in fifth place. Gujarat, on the other hand, have bounced back strong after dropping their first game, stacking up four straight wins to top the table. While LSG have the benefit of playing at home, Gujarat’s current momentum gives them the edge heading into this matchup. TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview Not many had Lucknow Super Giants pegged as contenders when IPL 2025 got going, but with three wins from five games, they’re still in it. Their last outing was a high-scoring thriller in Kolkata, where they smashed 238-3 and held on for a narrow 4-run win—even as KKR threatened to chase it down early. Mitchell Marsh (81 off 48) and Nicholas Pooran (87* off 36) led the charge. Both have been in red-hot form—Marsh has racked up 265 runs in five games at a strike rate of 180.27, including four fifties. Pooran, meanwhile, leads the team’s run tally with 288 runs at a strike rate of 225. Aiden Markram seems to be finding his groove too—his 47 against KKR was smooth, and he’s now got 144 runs at 142.57. But outside of them, the batting has looked thin. Rishabh Pant’s form has been a worry—three scores in single digits have left the middle order under pressure. David Miller hasn’t looked comfortable either, struggling to find timing or rhythm. Badoni and Samad have chipped in here and there, but they’ll need to step it up if the top doesn’t fire. Gujarat Titans Preview After a stumble in their opener at home in Ahmedabad, where they lost to Punjab, Gujarat Titans have snapped back with four straight wins. They now sit at the top of the table and are starting to look like the kind of team no one wants to face. The top-order trio of Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler are starting to click. Sudharsan, in particular, has been on another level—he’s scored 273 runs in five matches, averaging 54.60 with a strike rate of 151.66. The left-hand opener has already notched up three half-centuries, including an 82 off 53 in their last match against Rajasthan Royals that helped secure a 58-run victory. Gill hasn’t been as consistent, managing just one fifty, but he’s the kind of batter who’s never far from a big score. We think he’s due for a 40-plus knock in this one. Weather Conditions The Ekana Cricket Stadium pitch won’t allow batters to attack freely early on, though runs should still come at a decent rate. As the match wears on, the surface slows down, bringing spinners into play during the middle overs. Seamers will have to bowl cutters and slower ones to keep the batters in check. While Lucknow’s conditions will be hot and sticky, the forecast shows no rain to disrupt play. LSG vs GT Pitch Report Ekana Cricket Stadium typically sees first innings scores around 166. During last season’s IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders set the highest total at this ground with 235-6 against Lucknow Super Giants, cruising to a 98-run victory. Judging by the opening two matches at Ekana in IPL 2025, teams will want to aim for 190-200 runs to feel comfortable defending their total. Toss: To Bat Setting runs has served better instead of chasing in the IPL this season, with eight of the last nine games being won by the team batting first. In Ekana, too, the last match saw the team batting first emerge victorious. Hence, batting first would be the safer option in this game, especially as this is an afternoon fixture.
