Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) delivered a commanding performance to defeat Gujarat Titans (GT) by 33 runs in a high-scoring IPL 2025 clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. This win not only snapped LSG’s four-match losing streak but also dented GT’s hopes of finishing in the top two of the points table.

Match Summary

Batting first, LSG posted a formidable total of 235/2 in their 20 overs. Mitchell Marsh was the star of the show, smashing his maiden IPL century with a scintillating 117 off 62 balls, including 17 boundaries and 6 sixes. He was ably supported by Nicholas Pooran, who remained unbeaten on 56 from just 27 deliveries. The opening stand between Marsh and Aiden Markram (91 runs) laid a strong foundation, and Rishabh Pant’s late cameo (16* off 6) ensured a massive finish.

In response, Gujarat Titans made a brisk start but lost Sai Sudharsan early. Shubman Gill (35), Jos Buttler (33), and Sherfane Rutherford (38) kept GT in the hunt, while Shahrukh Khan’s aggressive 57 off 29 balls threatened to turn the tide. However, LSG’s bowlers held their nerve in the death overs. Will O’Rourke was the pick of the bowlers with 3/27, while Ayush Badoni chipped in with two wickets in the final over to seal the win. GT eventually finished on 202/9 in their 20 overs.
