With just two matches left in the IPL 2025 league stage, the heat is on in Match 64 as the Gujarat Titans (GT) take on the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, May 22. The Titans have already booked their spot in the playoffs and are pushing hard for a top-two finish. Meanwhile, LSG are out of the playoff race but will be eager to spoil GT’s party and finish their campaign on a high.
This clash may not have implications for LSG’s progression, but it holds weight for GT’s final league standing and momentum going into the knockouts. The last time these two teams met in IPL 2025, LSG clinched a six-wicket win at Ekana. Will GT get their revenge at home? Or can LSG bow out with their heads held high?
Let’s dive into the detailed breakdown of this exciting fixture.
Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, have had a solid campaign so far. After some early wobbles, they’ve hit their stride at the right time. Their 10-wicket thrashing of Delhi Capitals in their last game was a statement win and ensured their place in the playoffs. However, with other teams breathing down their neck for that crucial second spot on the table, this match remains vital. A win here keeps them on track for the top-two finish, which brings with it an extra shot at the final.
What’s working for GT is their well-balanced unit. The batting has been held together by Sai Sudharsan, who is donning the Orange Cap with over 600 runs. With Buttler, Gill, and Shahrukh Khan around him and Rashid Khan leading the spin attack, this team looks primed for a deep playoff run.
Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, have had a disappointing IPL 2025. Despite boasting a squad full of stars like Pant, Pooran, Markram, and Bishnoi, they failed to convert crunch moments. With just five wins from 12 matches, their playoff hopes ended after a loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Still, they will aim to bow out with a morale-boosting win against a top-tier team like GT.

The Narendra Modi Stadium has seen a fair balance between bat and ball in IPL 2025. The batters have enjoyed the true bounce and quick outfield, allowing for big scores. Powerplay overs especially offer value for aggressive openers.
However, new-ball bowlers who hit the right lengths can extract early movement. There’s also some grip for spinners in the middle overs, especially under lights.
Weather-wise, there’s a 25% chance of rain, which could affect proceedings. But unless it pours heavily, the stadium's drainage is good enough to ensure a full game.

Economy: 7.69
Best Figures: 4/24
Scenario 1: Gujarat Titans Bat First
GT Powerplay Score: 60-70
GT Total Score: 190-200
Prediction: Gujarat Titans to win
With the likes of Sudharsan, Buttler, and Gill at the top and Rashid/Prasidh in the bowling unit, GT are tough to beat if they set a solid target.
Scenario 2: Lucknow Super Giants Bat First
LSG Powerplay Score: 50-60
LSG Total Score: 175-185
Prediction: Gujarat Titans to win
LSG’s batting has looked fragile, and GT's pace attack can exploit that. If LSG bat first, they must hope for a big knock from Pooran or Pant to stay in the contest.
On current form, squad balance, and motivation levels, the Gujarat Titans are clear favourites. They have momentum on their side and a top-two finish in sight. The home crowd in Ahmedabad will also spur them on.
Meanwhile, LSG, though out of contention, could still spring a surprise — especially if their overseas stars click. But they’ll need something extraordinary to stop the Titans' charge.
Prediction: Gujarat Titans to win today’s match vs LSG
