The 26th match of IPL 2025 between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Gujarat Titans (GT) is set to be played on April 12, 2025, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The match will begin at 3:30 PM IST.
Both teams have showcased impressive performances this season. LSG, led by Rishabh Pant, has won three out of their five matches, including a nail-biting victory against Kolkata Knight Riders by four runs. Their batting lineup, featuring Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Marsh, and Aiden Markram, has been in excellent form, consistently breaching the 200-run mark. However, LSG’s bowling unit will need to step up against GT’s formidable batting lineup.
GT, captained by Shubman Gill, has been dominant this season, winning four out of their five matches. Their recent victory against Rajasthan Royals by 58 runs highlighted their strength, with Sai Sudharsan scoring a brilliant 82 runs. GT’s bowling attack, led by Rashid Khan and Mohammed Siraj, has been effective in restricting opponents.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Ekana Stadium is expected to favor batsmen, with spinners likely to play a crucial role in the middle overs. The weather forecast predicts warm and muggy conditions, ensuring a full match without interruptions.
Head to head
Historically, GT has had the upper hand in head-to-head encounters, winning four out of five matches against LSG since their inception in 2022. However, LSG will aim to leverage their home advantage and recent form to level the playing field.
