The match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Gujarat Titans (GT) in IPL 2025 will be nothing short of a blast! GT has had the upper hand in the matches so far, with four out of five wins. But last time LSG defeated GT in Lucknow, so this time the match is going to be even more interesting. Both teams are in great form – GT has won four matches in a row after a slow start, and LSG has also made a comeback with two consecutive wins. This match to be held in Lucknow can see a close contest.
Nicholas Pooran’s brilliance – Nicholas Pooran’s performance has been commendable this season! He has scored 288 runs in five innings, and he is the top scorer of the tournament so far. 24 sixes and almost 50 fours – Pooran’s aggressive batting has led LSG to victory in many matches. His strike rate is 225, which is really amazing!
Top order dependence – This season, the batting of both the teams has been largely dependent on the top order. LSG’s top three batsmen – Marsh (265 runs), Markram (144 runs), and Pooran (288 runs) – together have contributed 69% of the team’s total runs. Similarly, GT’s top three batsmen – Gill (148 runs), Sudharsan (273 runs), and Buttler (202 runs) – have contributed 64% of the team’s total runs.
LSG’s success secret: opening partnership – A big reason for LSG’s success is the excellent performance of their opening pair – Marsh and Markram. At the beginning of the season, only Marsh was playing well, but now Markram is also in great form. This opening partnership has scored the most runs (226) and the highest average (45.2) this season.
