It will be the Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans (LSG vs GT) match in the 26th game of the IPL 2025, which Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium (Lucknow) will host on Saturday afternoon (April 12). Both teams will play their sixth match of the tournament, while Gujarat Titans are leading the points table with eight points (four wins and one loss), and Lucknow Super Giants are in the sixth position with six points (three wins and two losses).

Both teams are in good form, but still need to check on some important things. Both teams have strong top-order batting options, while Titans middle-order batters are yet to be tested strongly. Meanwhile, LSG captain and most expensive IPL auction player Rishabh Pant's batting form is a big concern for the franchise.

Gujarat Titans have strong bowling names, but Rashid Khan is still far away from his familiar bowling form. On the other hand, LSG bowling hasn't shown proper dominance yet.
