The Lucknow Super Giants will face the Gujarat Titans in the 26th game of this Indian Premier League (IPL) season on April 12 at the Ekana International Stadium in Lucknow.
While GT are currently on the top of the table with four wins in five games, LSG haven't done too bad either and are fifth on the table with three wins in five games. This would be a great opportunity for LSG to enter in the top four with a win.

The two teams have played 5 games against each other in the IPL, with GT winning 4 and LSG winning 1 of those encounters.
GT's spin attack led by Sai Kishore and pacers like Siraj and Prasidh are in great form, and LSG's batting is heavily reliant on Marsh and Pooran scoring. So if those two fail to score, GT should ideally win this game.
Nicholas Pooran is the Orange cap holder in this season so far, and even when data is taken from 2023 onwards, he has scored 1145 runs at an average of 47.7 and a strike rate of 186.2. No batter even comes close to his record once his batting numbers are considered in a holistic manner.
In IPL 2025, Sai Kishore has been supreme with the ball and has picked 10 wickets at an average of just 13.3 and at an economy of 7.3. He is striking every 11th ball in his spell on average this season.
While there is some help for the spinners on the pitch, it has been a largely batting-friendly surface, with 200-plus scores being very probable. Expect another batting friendly surface in Lucknow.
There is 35% chance of rain in Lucknow on April 12 but we should get a full game. The temperature is likely to be high, and it might be humid during match hours.
