Lucknow Super Giants Innings Scorecard

Lucknow Super Giants were asked to bat first after Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill decided to field. LSG started aggressively enough to reach 50 runs in 5.2 overs, but two wickets during the powerplay prevented the innings from becoming a dominant one. Mitchell Marsh scored 11 from just four balls, while Rishabh Pant made 18 from 11 deliveries before both departed early. LSG reached 60/2 at the end of the powerplay.

Aiden Markram provided some stability with a 21-ball 30, including five fours and one six. However, LSG continued to lose wickets at important stages. Ayush Badoni made nine, Nicholas Pooran scored 19, and Abdul Samad contributed 18, but the middle order struggled to maintain the scoring rate. George Linde later struck 16 from 10 balls, while Mohammed Shami’s unbeaten 12 from five balls and Avesh Khan’s four from one helped LSG reach 164/8.

LSG Batting Scorecard

Batter	Runs	Balls	4s	6s	Strike Rate
Aiden Markram	30	21	5	1	142.85
Mitchell Marsh	11	4	1	1	275.00
Rishabh Pant	18	11	2	1	163.63
Ayush Badoni	9	11	1	0	81.81
Nicholas Pooran	19	21	0	2	90.47

George Linde	16	10	3	0	160.00
Mohammed Shami	12*	5	1	1	240.00
Avesh Khan	4*	1	1	0	400.00
Extras	9	–	–	–	–
Total	164/8	20 overs	–	–	RR 8.20

The supplied scorecard shows that LSG’s biggest problem was the frequency of wickets. Mitchell Marsh fell at 1.3 overs, Pant at 4.1, Markram at 6.6 and Badoni at 8.2. By the time Nicholas Pooran was dismissed at 14.3 overs, LSG were 109/5. That meant the lower order had to manufacture a competitive total during the final five overs.

LSG did manage a late push, reaching 150 in 19.1 overs. George Linde’s 16 off 10 balls and Mohammed Shami’s rapid unbeaten 12 gave the innings some much-needed acceleration. Even so, the final score of 164/8 meant Gujarat Titans needed only 8.25 runs per over, a target they ultimately handled comfortably.

Gujarat Titans Bowling Performance

Gujarat Titans’ bowling unit was particularly effective at taking wickets without allowing LSG to run away with the game. Prasidh Krishna delivered the best figures, taking four wickets for 28 runs in his four overs. His economy rate of 7.00 was also the best among GT’s four-over bowlers, making his spell one of the major reasons LSG were held to 164.

Ashok Sharma supported Prasidh Krishna well by taking two wickets for 32 runs. Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada picked up one wicket apiece, while Rashid Khan completed his four-over spell for 25 runs without a wicket. GT’s ability to keep picking up wickets stopped LSG from building a large total despite several useful individual contributions.

GT Bowler	Overs	Runs	Wickets	Economy
Mohammed Siraj	4	19	1	4.75
Kagiso Rabada	4	54	1	13.50
Ashok Sharma	4	32	2	8.00
Prasidh Krishna	4	28	4	7.00
Rashid Khan	4	25	0	6.25

Prasidh Krishna Leads the Bowling Attack

Prasidh Krishna was the clear standout of Gujarat Titans’ bowling innings. He finished with four wickets from four overs while conceding only 28 runs. His wickets included Aiden Markram, Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran and Mukul Choudhary, removing important members of the LSG batting order.
His performance was ultimately rewarded with the Player of the Match award. The spell was especially important because LSG had reached 60/2 after the powerplay and were looking capable of posting a competitive total. Krishna’s regular breakthroughs ensured that GT retained control through the middle and death overs.

Gujarat Titans Innings Scorecard

Gujarat Titans began the chase with Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill at the crease. They moved to 50 runs in 5.5 overs, although Sudharsan was dismissed for 15 from 14 balls at 5.1 overs. That wicket did not cause a collapse because Gill and Jos Buttler quickly established control over the chase.
Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler turned the chase into a comfortable one through an excellent second-wicket partnership. Gill scored 56 from 40 balls with six fours and a six, while Buttler produced 60 from 37 balls with 11 fours. Their aggressive scoring meant GT crossed 100 in only 11.4 overs and reached 128/1 at the second strategic timeout.

GT Batting Scorecard

Batter	Runs	Balls	4s	6s	Strike Rate
Sai Sudharsan	15	14	3	0	107.14
Shubman Gill	56	40	6	1	140.00
Jos Buttler	60	37	11	0	162.16
Washington Sundar	21*	13	2	1	161.53
Rahul Tewatia	10*	8	1	0	125.00
Extras	3	–	–	–	–
Total	165/3	18.4 overs	–	–	RR 8.83

Jos Buttler was the leading run-scorer in the chase, making 60 from 37 balls at a strike rate of 162.16. His 11 boundaries provided GT with regular scoring opportunities and kept the required run rate under control. Buttler’s dismissal came at 15.4 overs when GT were already 135/3, leaving the visitors needing only another 30 runs for victory.
Washington Sundar then completed the chase with an unbeaten 21 from 13 balls, while Rahul Tewatia stayed not out on 10 from eight deliveries. Their finishing contribution ensured that GT reached 165/3 in 18.4 overs. The team therefore won with eight balls still available, underlining how effectively the top order had controlled the chase.

Lucknow Super Giants Bowling Scorecard

LSG’s bowlers managed three wickets, but they could not prevent Gujarat Titans from maintaining a strong scoring rate. Mohammed Shami was the most economical of the main bowlers to take a wicket, finishing with 1/36 from four overs. Prince Yadav and Digvesh Rathi also took one wicket each and conceded 31 runs apiece.

The other bowling options struggled to contain GT’s batting attack. George Linde conceded 28 from three overs, Avesh Khan went for 24 in two overs, and Aiden Markram conceded 15 from his 1.4 overs. GT’s overall run rate of 8.83 was higher than LSG’s 8.20, which reflected the visitors’ superior control of the chase.

LSG Bowler	Overs	Runs	Wickets	Economy
Mohammed Shami	4	36	1	9.00
Prince Yadav	4	31	1	7.75
Digvesh Rathi	4	31	1	7.75
George Linde	3	28	0	9.33
Avesh Khan	2	24	0	12.00
Aiden Markram	1.4	15	0	9.00

Why LSG Could Not Defend 164

A total of 164 at Ekana gave LSG something to defend, but the early wickets and strong GT partnership made the target increasingly manageable. LSG needed regular wickets after Sai Sudharsan’s dismissal, yet Gill and Buttler prevented the bowling side from building sustained pressure. GT’s 100 came in 11.4 overs, putting the chase firmly in their control.

Another key difference was boundary production. Buttler hit 11 fours, while Gill added six fours and a six. LSG’s bowlers were therefore forced to absorb repeated boundary attacks, especially during the middle overs. Once GT reached 150 in 17.4 overs, the match was effectively decided, with Washington Sundar and Rahul Tewatia finishing the job.

Match Highlights and Key Moments

The game had several important moments that shaped the final result. LSG’s powerplay was productive in terms of runs but costly in wickets, as they reached 60/2 after six overs. Later, the loss of wickets through the middle overs prevented the home team from accelerating consistently. Gujarat’s bowlers kept finding breakthroughs and ensured that LSG could not build the kind of platform needed for a 180-plus total.

The GT chase was almost the opposite. After losing Sudharsan, the visitors put together a major partnership between Gill and Buttler. Gill reached his fifty from 34 balls, and Buttler followed with a fifty from 29 balls. GT’s 150 came in 17.4 overs, and they needed only another 15 runs after that to seal the seven-wicket win.

Important moments from the match included:

• GT won the toss and chose to field.
• LSG reached 50 in 5.2 overs.
• LSG were 60/2 at the end of the powerplay.
• Prasidh Krishna took four wickets for GT.
• LSG finished on 164/8 after 20 overs.
• GT reached 50 in 5.5 overs.
• Shubman Gill scored 56 from 40 balls.
• Jos Buttler scored 60 from 37 balls.
• GT crossed 100 in 11.4 overs.
• GT reached 150 in 17.4 overs.
• Gujarat Titans won at 165/3 in 18.4 overs.
• Prasidh Krishna was named Player of the Match.

Fall of Wickets: LSG vs GT

The fall of wickets explains why LSG struggled to turn their promising start into a bigger total. Mitchell Marsh was dismissed at 1.3 overs, followed by Rishabh Pant at 4.1 overs. Markram then departed at 6.6 overs, and Badoni was out at 8.2 overs. Those wickets left LSG needing a substantial recovery during the second half of the innings.

The middle and lower order tried to rebuild, but Pooran’s dismissal at 14.3 overs and Samad’s at 16.2 overs kept the pressure on the batting side. Mukul Choudhary and George Linde also fell late in the innings. In contrast, GT lost only three wickets, which was a major reason the visitors were able to complete the chase comfortably.

Team	Wicket	Score	Over
LSG	Mitchell Marsh	14	1.3
LSG	Rishabh Pant	45	4.1
LSG	Aiden Markram	69	6.6
LSG	Ayush Badoni	74	8.2
LSG	Nicholas Pooran	109	14.3
LSG	Abdul Samad	118	16.2
LSG	Mukul Choudhary	131	18.1
LSG	George Linde	157	19.4
GT	Sai Sudharsan	45	5.1
GT	Shubman Gill	129	14.5
GT	Jos Buttler	135	15.4

Impact Player Substitutions

The match also featured impact-player substitutions from both sides. Lucknow Super Giants brought George Linde into the game for Ayush Badoni at 16.2 overs of the first innings. Linde subsequently contributed with the bat, scoring 16 from 10 balls, including three fours, and also bowled three overs during the Gujarat Titans chase.
Gujarat Titans made their own impact substitution at the same stage, bringing M Shahrukh Khan in for Mohammed Siraj. Siraj had already completed his main contribution with the ball, taking one wicket for 19 runs from four overs. The tactical substitution gave GT another option as they entered the latter stages of the match.

LSG vs GT Match Turning Points

One of the first turning points was LSG losing two wickets inside the powerplay. Although they scored 60 runs in the first six overs, the departures of Marsh and Pant meant that Gujarat had already made important inroads into the batting lineup. LSG then lost Markram and Badoni before reaching the 75-run mark, which reduced their ability to attack freely later in the innings.
The second major turning point was the partnership between Gill and Buttler. After Sudharsan’s wicket, the pair took control and kept the scoreboard moving at a strong pace. Their partnership helped GT reach 100 in 11.4 overs and 128/1 by 14 overs. Even though both eventually fell, the damage had already been done, and GT needed only 30 runs after Buttler’s dismissal.

Player Performances That Stood Out

For Gujarat Titans, Jos Buttler was the leading run-scorer with 60 from 37 balls. His 11 fours and strike rate of 162.16 made his innings particularly influential. Shubman Gill also played a major role, scoring 56 from 40 deliveries with six fours and a six. Together, they gave GT the platform needed to chase 165 without significant pressure.

For Lucknow Super Giants, Aiden Markram’s 30 was the highest score of the innings. Mohammed Shami’s unbeaten 12 from five balls was also valuable because it helped push LSG to 164. On the bowling side, however, Prasidh Krishna was the dominant performer of the match. His four wickets for 28 runs made him the obvious Player of the Match.

Match Result and Points Table Impact

Gujarat Titans successfully chased Lucknow Super Giants’ 164-run total by reaching 165/3 in 18.4 overs. The seven-wicket victory gave GT two points, while LSG finished the match without points. The official match details confirm Gujarat Titans 2 points and Lucknow Super Giants 0 points from this fixture.
The result also highlighted the importance of maintaining wickets during an IPL chase. Gujarat lost only three wickets and still had eight balls remaining when the target was reached. LSG, meanwhile, lost eight wickets while batting first and could not generate enough late-innings momentum to push the total beyond 164. That contrast ultimately defined the contest.
