The table-toppers, Gujarat Titans, will be back in action after a 2-day break. The 2022 champions will head home, i.e., to the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, for their next fixture against the Rishabh Pant-led Lucknow Super Giants, who are already eliminated from the playoff race.
Sitting pretty at the top, the Titans must be looking to secure a finish among the top two with a win in this encounter. They are in the pole position already, but a win in this encounter will ensure their finish among the top 2. As far as the Lucknow Super Giants are concerned, they have nothing to lose now, and even if they win this fixture, they will remain intact at the 7th spot on the points table.
Let’s delve deeper into this post for the GT vs LSG Dream11 prediction.
Date: 22nd May 2025 Time: 7:30 PM IST Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Matches Played: 6 GT won: 4 LSG won: 2 No Result: 0 Tied: 0
Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans have faced each other six times, with GT holding the edge by winning four of those encounters, while LSG has secured two victories. However, in their most recent meeting at Ekana Stadium, LSG turned the tables on GT, claiming a comfortable six-wicket win in front of their home crowd.
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has generally been batting-friendly, offering true bounce and a surface that allows stroke-makers to flourish. The pitch has an even pace, making it ideal for aggressive batting, with an average run rate of 8.20 at the venue.
However, fast bowlers can extract early movement, especially under lights, before the pitch settles down. Teams batting first have had success here, with three out of four recent matches won by the side setting a target. Given the conditions, a score of 190+ should be competitive, and captains winning the toss may prefer to bat first. Dew could play a role in the second innings, making chasing slightly easier.
