GT vs LSG Dream11 Prediction, Match 64: Lucknow Super Giants will play against Gujarat Titans in match number 64 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
For the Lucknow Super Giants, this match marks the end of their playoff journey in what has been a season of ups and downs. Their recent loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad confirmed their elimination from the race for the top four. They currently have five wins from 12 games, meaning the maximum points they can reach is 14, which is not enough to qualify for the playoffs in IPL 2025. Despite their strong batting performance in the last game, where Mitch Marsh scored a superb 65 runs off 39 balls and Aiden Markram added 61 runs off 38 balls to help them post 205, their bowlers could not defend the total. This highlights a recurring issue for the team throughout the season, where their batting has often been good, but their bowling has sometimes let them down in crucial moments.
On the other hand, the Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, have already secured their spot in the playoffs. They have been in excellent form, winning 9 out of their 12 matches and accumulating 18 points. This puts them in a strong position, and they are now focused on finishing in the top two to get an extra chance to reach the final. The Titans showed their dominance in their last game, hammering Delhi Capitals by 10 wickets. Sai Sudharsan was the star of that match, scoring an unbeaten 108 runs off just 61 balls, while his captain, Shubman Gill, made an impressive 93 not out off 53 balls. They chased down a target of 200 runs without losing a single wicket, showcasing their strong batting lineup and confidence.

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is known for its excellent pitches for T20 cricket. The surface often favors batters, allowing them to score big runs with ease. We have seen high-scoring games at this venue, with the average first innings score in the IPL since 2022 being 188. In the current season, this average has gone up to 216, which shows how much the batters have enjoyed playing here. Fast bowlers might get some help with the new ball early on, finding a narrow window to make an impact due to some movement off the pitch. However, once the new ball effect wears off, it becomes a batter’s paradise. The weather forecast for Thursday evening is mostly clear, with the temperature expected to be around 30 degrees Celsius, making it perfect conditions for a cricket match.

Key Players to Watch
Sai Sudharsan (GT): He has been in amazing form this season, scoring a lot of runs without taking too many risks. He is currently the top run-scorer in the tournament with 617 runs at an average of 56 and a strike rate of 157. His unbeaten century (108* off 61 balls) in the last game proves his ability to play big innings. He also has five half-centuries to his name this season. His recent scores are: 52 (36), 39 (30), 48 (23), 5 (5), 108* (61). He will be a crucial player for GT.
Shubman Gill (GT): Just like his opening partner, Shubman Gill has also been very consistent. He has scored 601 runs from 12 innings, averaging 60 with a great strike rate of 155. He has six half-centuries, including a fantastic 93 not out off 53 balls in the last match. Gill has an excellent record at Ahmedabad, scoring 1,235 runs at an average of 61.75 and a strike rate of 165. His recent scores are: 90 (55), 84 (50), 76 (38), 43 (36), 93* (53).
Mitchell Marsh (LSG): Despite Lucknow Super Giants’ playoff exit, Mitch Marsh has had a surprisingly good individual season. The Australian batter has scored 443 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 157 and an average of 40. He has hit five scores of fifty or more, including his recent 65 off 39 against SRH. His last five innings show his form: 4 (6), 45 (36), 34 (24), 0 (5), 65 (39).
Nicholas Pooran (LSG): Nicholas Pooran has also had a strong season for Lucknow Super Giants, mostly batting at number three. He has hit 455 runs in 12 games with an impressive strike rate of 198 and an average of 41. He scored 61 runs off 34 balls in the previous match against Gujarat Titans. Pooran has four half-centuries this season and recently scored 45 off 26 balls. His last five batting innings are: 11 (8), 9 (5), 27 (15), 6 (5), 45 (26).
Prasidh Krishna (GT): Prasidh Krishna has been a standout bowler this season for Gujarat Titans. He is currently the leading wicket-taker with 21 wickets in the tournament. He has bowled with great control and used his “hit-the-deck” style effectively. His economy rate is 7.85, and his strike rate is 13.42, which are very good numbers. His last five bowling figures are: 2/25, 1/47, 2/19, 1/37, 1/40.
Player to Avoid (for fantasy teams):
Rishabh Pant (LSG): It has been a difficult season for Rishabh Pant, both as a batter and as a captain. He has only managed to score 135 runs in 12 innings at a very low average of 12 and a strike rate of 100. Given his current form, it might be wise to avoid picking him in fantasy teams.
Match Prediction:GT vs LSG Dream11 Prediction
Gujarat Titans are clearly in excellent form this season. Their top three batters are arguably the strongest in the tournament, making it very difficult for opposing teams to take wickets early on. Additionally, the Titans have a very strong bowling attack, which has been crucial in their wins. While Lucknow Super Giants will play for pride, the momentum and team balance are heavily in favor of Gujarat Titans. They will be looking to secure a top-two finish, which gives them even more motivation. Expect a strong performance from the Gujarat Titans in this match.
