Gujarat Titans are aiming to reach the top of the IPL standings with their strong form. They recently stunned Delhi Capitals by chasing down a target of 200 runs without losing a single wicket. It marked their third consecutive victory, and they will look to continue this momentum on Thursday.
They will host Lucknow Super Giants in their second-last league match of the season. LSG are struggling, with four consecutive losses, and their chances of reaching the playoffs are slim. With only two matches remaining, LSG need to win both to finish with 14 points—the same tally that fourth-placed Mumbai Indians could also reach.
Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants have faced each other six times in the Indian Premier League since both teams joined the league in 2022. GT leads the head-to-head record with four wins, while LSG has secured two victories.
At the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the two teams have met once, with GT winning that encounter by 56 runs on May 7, 2023.
In the past five seasons, GT has been the more successful side in this matchup, winning four out of six games. However, LSG has shown improvement, winning the most recent two encounters, including a six-wicket victory on April 12, 2025

Prasidh Krishna (GT): Prasidh Krishna is in excellent form with the ball. He has picked up 21 wickets in 12 matches and is currently leading the Purple Cap standings. He has taken wickets in nearly every game this season.
Sai Sudharsan (GT): Sai Sudharsan is this season’s top run-scorer. He is coming off an unbeaten knock of 108 runs from 61 balls against Delhi Capitals. With five fifties and one century so far, he is leading the Orange Cap race.
Mitchell Marsh (LSG): Mitchell Marsh has been consistent with the bat, scoring over 30 runs in three of his last four matches. His recent performances include two half-centuries.
GT is currently in excellent form, with nine wins this season—the most by any team. On the other hand, LSG are on a four-match losing streak and lacking consistency.
Sudharsan is GT’s most reliable batter this season. He scored a century in the last match and has 617 runs in 12 games, topping the Orange Cap chart.
GT’s openers have been consistently delivering. In the last match, they added 205 runs without losing a wicket. Sudharsan is in red-hot form and continues to lead from the front.
LSG has hit 9+ sixes in each of their last three matches, including the last two in a row. With power-hitters like Marsh, Pooran, and Miller, this bet is worth backing.
