GT versus LSG matches have long been fascinating affairs, but now their significance increases further as their outcome could determine who finishes in the top two for Playoff qualification. Although table-topper has already qualified, finishing as such will present even greater challenges than reaching Playoffs qualification itself.
Rishabh Pant is hoping for an impressive end to their season, having shown great form in previous matches. They will receive an injection of power with Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan back into the side.

Scorecard of Gujarat Titans vs Lucknow Super Giants
Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants played out an exhilarating cricket match between themselves that featured some outstanding performances by both teams. There were some jaw-dropping boundaries and wicket-taking catches; standout players stepped up, crucial moments occurred throughout this encounter and below is a full scorecard so that fans don’t miss any of the action!
Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill both scored centuries as the Titans routed Rajasthan by 33 runs to gain ground on top spot. Both now boast over 500 IPL runs each and look set to surpass this mark by season’s end. In addition, this win allowed the Titans to regain the Orange Cap race lead; meaning they have now won three consecutive matches with an eye on continuing that trend against RCB on Thursday.
Catches have long been considered one of the keys to match victory and this game certainly confirmed this maxim. LSG openers Markram and Abdul Samad both took brilliant catches to send back GT openers – with Samad taking one particularly impressive one when he sprinted sideways and dived sideways for one of the season’s finest catch, keeping his side in contention and keeping them competitive against their visitors.
After an insipid start, GT’s middle order came roaring back and made the game exciting. Hitting three fours and sixes to score 36 runs off Avesh and Shahbaz Ahmed respectively for 36 in 14th and 15th overs – until O’Rourke struck in 17th over to see off both Rutherford and Rahul Tewatia respectively.
O’Rourke finished with an outstanding 3/27 and was assisted by Ayush Badoni (2/36) to break down the home side’s chase. GT still have a chance at making the playoffs as they sit only two points back of fourth-placed RCB; all they need to do is win both remaining matches against PBKS and CSK in order to advance further than fifth spot in their pool – otherwise this would mark their first missed top-two finish since coming into existence two years ago.
Head-to-Head Record of Gujarat Titans vs Lucknow Super Giants
Gujarat-based team Gujarat have outshone LSG when competing against them throughout IPL history, winning four out of six matches between them. But when these teams met up in Lucknow at Ekana Stadium for their most recent encounter on 24 March 2024, LSG prevailed by an enormous seven run margin and won by nine wickets.
Both teams were competing for a place in the top two in their respective tables, so stakes were high during this matchup. After winning the toss and selecting to bowl first, the home side took control of proceedings by restricting visitors to an underpar total and dominating chase. But Mitchell Marsh’s brilliant hundred helped their rivals post an astounding total of 235/2!
GT responded by losing both Shubman Gill and B Sai Sudharsan early, leaving them without batsmen in the middle order. Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan held their nerve to help prevent an unexpected collapse and complete a 33-run victory for their side.
Due to this loss, GT’s top-two aspirations suffered a setback and now require them to rely on Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings dropping matches to stay alive in contention for playoff berths. But even without that happening, they may still secure one with victory against Chennai Super Kings in their next league game!
Shubman Gill remains optimistic that Gujarat Titans can recover and turn things around despite defeat, acknowledging they had given away 15-20 extra runs but commending Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan for standing firm against pressure to put up an excellent fight. Furthermore, players want to make amends in their next games; with plenty of young talent onboard and an optimistic outlook.
Match Summary
Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants are in pursuit of a top-two finish in the Indian Premier League (IPL). A win from either side would provide an enormous boost for their playoff hopes.
The match started out well as both teams traded sixes early. Unfortunately, Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill’s early dismissals put their hosts on the back foot; fortunately Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan came together and formed an 86-run partnership that brought them close.
Abdul Samad made an unforgettable one-handed catch to put an end to GT’s charge from deep midwicket and turned their innings on its head.
LSG’s bowlers eventually sealed victory. Ravi Bishnoi hit four sixes and two fours during his 17-ball innings while also taking Sherfane Rutherford’s wicket, giving LSG control. When Rahul Tewatia tried his luck off the last ball he holed out to long-on where Himmat Singh made a regulation catch.
Catches have long been considered to be the key to victory in cricket matches, and this was yet another instance where that proved true. Samad and Markram’s catches sent back both openers before Himmat Singh held firm against Tewatia to seal off victory in the last over.
Rishabh Pant was delighted with his team’s performance despite some lapses in fielding, noting that these mistakes are part of the game and his team will take advantage of them to learn and improve.
Digvesh Rathi was unavailable due to suspension after clashing with Abhishek Sharma during a crushing defeat by Sunrisers Hyderabad and amassing two demerit points in that game. Himmat Singh and Shahbaz Ahmed may fill his spot. On Wednesday at Ekana Stadium they’ll face each other once more; both teams have played each other eight times overall with GT winning five encounters; their inaugural match saw both sides score over 500 runs – an all-time IPL record!
Prediction
Gujarat Titans (GT) will face Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in match 64 of Indian Premier League 2025 on May 22, at 7:30 PM at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Both teams boast strong squads capable of winning this encounter.
GT currently leads the points table and have already secured their spot in the playoffs, so they will look to extend their winning streak against LSG to remain on top of the table. Meanwhile, visitors LSG are playing for honor as they have qualified for playoffs themselves and hope to end this season on a strong note.
Even after their loss against SRH in the previous match, LSG have shown plenty of fight and possess the talent necessary to compete with any side in this tournament. Led by Rishabh Pant’s side they hope to get back on track and secure a top four finish in this tournament.
GT will bring an impressive line-up of batsmen and bowlers into this match-up, promising a tight contest. Their batsmen have been performing superbly throughout this season – especially skipper Shubman Gill who leads their batting department brilliantly; B Sai Sudharsan has also been exceptional this year with the bat for GT.
GT’s bowlers have also been in fine form this season. Kagiso Rabada, Mohammad Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja and Prasidh Krishna are some of the key bowlers who will aim to put on an impressive display and limit LSG’s run scoring abilities. GT are favorites against LSG given their superior head-to-head record, current form, and bowling attack. Follow Indian Express Live Cricket Score for live updates of this matchup.
