IPL 2025 Highlights, Lucknow Super Giants Won against Gujarat Titans

Here’s a summary based on available information from IPL 2025 Highlights:

Match Highlights:

● Toss: GT won the toss and elected to bowl first.

● LSG Innings: LSG posted 235/3 in 20 overs, powered by a century from Mitchell Marsh (101 off 56 balls, his first IPL hundred) and a half-century from Nicholas Pooran (49 off 22 balls). Their 121-run partnership for the second wicket was LSG’s highest for that wicket in IPL history.

● GT Innings: GT managed 202/9 in response, falling short by 33 runs. Shahrukh Khan scored a fifty (off 22 balls), but LSG’s bowlers, including Will O’Rourke (two wickets in the 17th over) and Ayush Badoni (2/4), restricted GT. GT struggled in the final overs, scoring only 20 runs without a boundary in the last four overs.

● Player of the Match: Mitchell Marsh for his century.

● Key Moments: LSG’s early bowling breakthroughs, including Sai Sudharsan’s dismissal by O’Rourke, tested GT’s middle order. GT’s top order (Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler) has been dominant this season, but their middle order’s lower average (21.39) was exposed.

● Impact on Standings: GT, with 18 points, missed an automatic top-two finish but remained in playoff contention. LSG, already out of playoff contention, gained momentum with this win.

Head-to-Head Context: In IPL history, GT and LSG have faced each other six times. GT has won 4 matches, while LSG has won 2, both in the 2025 season.

The earlier 2025 encounter (Match 26, April 12, 2025, at Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow) saw LSG chase 181 to win by 6 wickets, ending GT’s four-match winning streak. Aiden Markram (58 off 31) and Nicholas Pooran (61 off 34) starred, with Ayush Badoni sealing the chase with a six.

Key Players:

LSG: Mitchell Marsh (265 runs in 5 innings), Nicholas Pooran (349 runs, Orange Cap contender), and Aiden Markram were pivotal. Ravi Bishnoi and Will O’Rourke led the bowling.

GT: Shubman Gill (601 runs), Sai Sudharsan (617 runs), and Jos Buttler (500 runs) dominated, with Prasidh Krishna (21 wickets) leading the bowling.

Pitch and Conditions: The Ahmedabad pitch favored batters, with LSG capitalizing on better batting conditions under lights. The Ekana pitch in the earlier match was balanced, with early seam movement and some turn for spinners.

Additional Notes:

LSG missed Mitchell Marsh in the April match due to his daughter’s illness, with Himmat Singh replacing him.

GT’s Glenn Phillips was ruled out for the season with a groin injury before the May match.

LSG’s captain Rishabh Pant has struggled with the bat (average 12.27 in 11 innings), but the team’s depth, led by Pooran and Marsh, compensated.
