It’s a matchup between two teams in really good form in the ongoing edition of Indian Premier League. Gujarat Titans are currently sitting at the top of the IPL 2025 points table, while Lucknow Super Giants have won three of their last four matches. So, this clash has all the ingredients to produce an absolute thriller. Since this is a home game for LSG, it will be played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
LSG are heading in the right direction. With three wins in their last four games, they have a great opportunity to climb to the top of the table—provided they win this match. But that won’t be easy, as their opponents are the Gujarat Titans, who, on current form, are the best team in the league. Shubman Gill’s side hasn’t lost a match since the season opener, where they went down to Punjab Kings by 11 runs. Since then, the 2022 champions have won four games in a row.
