In a thrilling match of GT vs LSG IPL 2025, the Lucknow Supergiants (LSG) won against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 64th game of the tournament. Though the Lucknow Supergiants put up a whopping total of 235 runs, this win came after 19th April, when they are now out of the playoffs. Mitchell Marsh won the player of the match for his century knock of 117 runs.
Lucknow Supergiants Score Big but Endure a Nervous Finish
Lucknow Supergiants served a power-packed display of batting, scoring 235 on the board, one of the highest totals in IPL 2025. Spearheaded by a breathtaking knock from Mitchell Marsh (whose maiden IPL century came his way), LSG dominated the innings from start to finish.
But Gujarat Titans didn’t let go without a struggle. While chasing the massive total, they gave LSG a genuine scare, keeping the game alive until the last overs. Eventually, Lucknow narrowly defended the total, keeping their nerve to win their sixth game of the season.
Rishabh Pant’s Captaincy Tested Under Pressure
Although Rishabh Pant had limited success as LSG’s captain this season, his captaincy in this game helped to gain some confidence. When under tremendous pressure in Gujarat’s chase, Pant composed himself and made bowling changes that ultimately secured the win. Although LSG has been knocked out of the IPL 2025 playoffs, this game helped Pant end the season on a good note.
Gujarat Titans Fall Short Despite Great Effort
The Gujarat Titans, who had already made it to the playoffs before this game, demonstrated immense amounts of resilience and fight in the chase. Although they were unable to cross the threshold, the team scored heavily and pushed LSG up to the last overs.
The defeat may not affect their chances of making the playoffs, but it did reveal a few areas of concern as they move into the knockout rounds.
Lucknow’s Sixth Win In GT vs LSG Comes Too Late
Lucknow Supergiants earned their sixth win in 13 matches with this victory, finishing their season with some dignity. The victory did not significantly impact the points table, though, since the team was already mathematically ruled out of playoff contention. But ending the season on a high note keeps fans hoping for a better season next year.
Lucknow Finishes on a High, Gujarat Looks Forward
Ultimately, Lucknow Supergiants grabbed 12 points with their 6th win, and Gujarat Giants now have 18 points and lost the chance to be the only team that could have reached 22 points. GT will look forward to staying in the top 2 for the playoffs race.
