The penultimate clash in the league stage of IPL 2025 sees the Gujarat Titans (GT) square off against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the electric Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, May 22.
Shubman Gill's troops have already punched their ticket to the playoffs and are now gunning for a top-two finish to give themselves a clearer path to the final. Confidence is sky-high in the GT camp after they dismantled Delhi Capitals in their previous outing, chasing down a daunting target without losing a wicket — arguably one of the most clinical batting displays of the season.
In contrast, LSG's playoff hopes have gone up in smoke. After a deflating six-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rishabh Pant's side is left playing for pride. They’ve mustered just five wins in 12 games and sit seventh in the table. However, they’ll take heart from their earlier six-wicket triumph over GT this season and will aim to spoil the party again.

GT vs LSG Team News, Probable Playing XI and Key Players
Gujarat Titans Team News
GT were at their ruthless best last time out, with Gill and Sai Sudharsan stitching together a record-breaking 205-run opening stand. That duo will once again be key at the top. Jos Buttler has found a solid groove at No. 3, while the likes of Sherfane Rutherford, Shahrukh Khan, and finisher duo Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan bring explosive firepower to the lower order.
With the ball, Arshad Khan impressed in the last match and will aim to strike early alongside Mohammad Siraj. Kagiso Rabada had a lukewarm return but remains vital through the middle overs, backed by Prasidh Krishna. Meanwhile, Rashid and Sai Kishore will look to exploit the conditions with their spin.

Lucknow Super Giants Team News
LSG's campaign has fizzled out, and their loss to SRH highlighted their bowling frailties. Still, they'll be keen to bow out with a fight. Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh gave them a solid platform in the last game with a 115-run stand, and they'll hope for more of the same. Pant, searching for rhythm, will need to anchor the middle order with Nicholas Pooran and Ayush Badoni, while Abdul Samad and Shardul Thakur shoulder the finishing duties.
Their bowling needs a sharp turnaround — Akash Deep and William O'Rourke leaked runs early, and a better show is required. Shahbaz Ahmed and Avesh Khan must make inroads during the middle overs, while Ravi Bishnoi and Shardul need to keep things tight when GT's heavy hitters start swinging.

GT vs LSG Head-to-Head Records
The Gujarat Titans have held the upper hand in their IPL rivalry with the Lucknow Super Giants, winning four of their five encounters to date. LSG has only managed to break through once, making this a lopsided head-to-head that GT has largely bossed.
GT vs LSG pitch conditions and weather report
- Weather: 41°C and a slight (25%)
- Pitch: Batter-Friendly
Ahmedabad's surface is a dream for batters — the ball comes on sweetly, making stroke play look effortless. That said, there's something in it early on for seamers who find the right lengths. Toss might be crucial, and with temperatures soaring to 41°C and a slight (25%) chance of rain, the team winning it is likely to opt to bat first.
