LSG vs GT Dream11 Prediction IPL 2025 Match-26, Team News, Pitch Report, Squad, Fantasy Teams

The Lucknow Super Giants will head back to their home, i.e., the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, to host the table toppers, Gujarat Titans, in match no. 26 of Tata IPL 2025.

It has been a mixed season so far for Lucknow Super Giants as they find themselves placed 5th on the points table with 3 wins and 2 losses from 5 matches. Rishabh Pant’s form is a huge concern for the Super Giants, but so far the likes of Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, and Nicholas Pooran haven’t let Pant’s dismal form affect LSG’s batting. A win here will take them closer to the third spot, which they would be eyeing for sure.

The table toppers, Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, have been clinical after a blip in their opening game. The Titans lost their tournament opener at home against Punjab Kings by 11 runs, but since then the team has found their mojo and has won 4 on the trot to take the pole position on the points table. A win in this fixture will consolidate their position on the points table.

LSG vs GT Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, Pitch Report

The surface at Ekana Stadium is one of the most unpredictable and trickiest wickets of this IPL season. It was on the slower side in 2023 but assisted the batters in 2024. This season, the wicket has offered assistance to both batters and bowlers, as batting is easy early on, but as the match progresses, the wicket slows down. The red soil wicket is expected to slow down afterwards, but if a black soil wicket is used, the pace bowlers can get some bounce especially with the new ball. If the openers stick for a while, we may see first innings score close to 200.
