Mitchell Marsh’s century powers Lucknow to 33-run win

GT vs LSG LIVE Score, IPL 2025: Lucknow Super Giants have earned a consolation win to dent Gujarat Titans’ hopes of a Top-2 finish. Chasing a massive target of 236, GT’s top order failed to fire. While Shahrukh Khan scored a half-century, it was not enough to chase down the target as LSG cruised to a 33-run win. GT managed 202/9. Earlier, Lucknow Super Giants posted a massive 235/2 total after being sent to bat. Mitchell Marsh was the aggressor with his maiden IPL ton, scoring 117. Nicholas Pooran also returned to form with an unbeaten 27-ball 56. Aiden Markram scored 36 while Rishabh Pant managed an unbeaten 6-ball 16 to set GT a record 236-run target. Earlier, GT won the toss and opted to bowl first on a green-top Ahmedabad wicket.

GT vs LSG Match Preview

Gujarat Titans, with 18 points from 12 games, have already sealed a playoff spot and are now eyeing a top-two finish. Led by Shubman Gill, GT have been consistent. While their Top 3 have scored the bulk of runs, Shubman and Sai Sudharsan’s opening pair is a nightmare for opposition bowlers for their consistency. Their bowlers too have stepped up, making them a well-balanced unit. However, GT’s middle order is still somehow untested, and that could be a problem.

In contrast, Lucknow Super Giants, under Rishabh Pant, are out of the playoff race after a string of losses, sitting seventh with five wins from 12 matches. However, in their last meeting, LSG beat GT by six wickets in Lucknow. Aiden Markram led the way and that offers hope. However, with inconsistency throughout the line-up, including batting, bowling and fielding, Pant & Co need a solid all-round performance. To make things worse, LSG’s top wicket-taker Digvesh Rathi is suspended for the match.

Pitch Report

The Narendra Modi Stadium pitch in Ahmedabad is typically a batting paradise, offering good pace and bounce. Scores above 180 are common, but spinners often find assistance in the middle overs due to the large boundaries. Teams batting first have a slight edge, as chasing can be tricky under lights if dew is absent. Expect a high-scoring game unless bowlers exploit early movement.
