Lucknow Super Giants will face the Gujarat Titans in the 26th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Both teams won their previous games.
LSG defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by four runs in their last fixture. They scored a massive 238/3 in the first innings and later defended it, even though they would have liked a better bowling performance.
Meanwhile, GT continued their winning streak by defeating the Rajasthan Royals in their previous encounter. They were clinical in all departments and never gave any chance to the Royals to stay ahead in the game.
Lucknow Super Giants: Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), David Miller, Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad, Shardul Thakur, Akash Deep, Avesh Khan, Digvesh Rathi

The two games played here have seen nice batting decks, and a similar surface can be expected again. The speedsters will get some early assistance before the ball comes nicely on the willow. The team winning the toss might elect to field first, with around 180 being a fighting one.
A temperature of around 34°C, with partly cloudy skies, is forecast.
