LSG vs GT: Match no. 26 saw a contest between Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans at Ekana Stadium. GT came into this game on the back of four consecutive wins but couldn’t carry the momentum and lost the game by six wickets. LSG had a brilliant match and they registered their fourth win of the IPL 2025.
It started with Rishabh Pant winning the toss and deciding to bowl first. It was yet another good start by the GT openers. Sai Sudharsan (56 off 37) and Shubman Gill (60 off 38) scored fifty at the top and added 120 runs in 12.1 overs. But once the partnership was broken, GT lost the way completely.
They only managed 60 runs in the next 8 overs and finished it at 180/6. It wasn’t a big score, and LSG also had a 65-run opening stand. Aiden Markram (58 off 31) scored his second fifty of the season. Nicholas Pooran once again played a blistering knock of 61 off 34. LSG reached 186/4 in 19.3 overs to win the game and earn two points.
Let’s take a look at the award winners of this nail-biting match.
