LSG vs GT Live Score, IPL 2025: Pitch report

Murali Karthik and Shane Watson are pitch-side. “It’s pretty warm. Dimensions – 63m and 70m square boundaries, 73m straight down the ground. Coming back to the surface, it’s pitch no. 6 which was used previously. It was relaid in 2023, it has settled down nicely, the scores are going up and this is a black soil pitch. This is a really nice surface as we saw in the previous game as well – 203 runs scored by LSG. Just coming down to have a look at the surface, it’s a little bit patchy, there’s a decent amount of grass cover. But one thing you do notice is it’s shiny, it’s got a nice sheen on it. It’s going to be a really nice surface. The one thing we do know from the previous game was the pacers used the pitch, they bowled into the surface – five out of ten ten wickets were taken from bowling short into the pitch. Hardik Pandya, in particular, used that change of pace very nicely to effect. For the pacers, that’s going to be the order of the day. Don’t be surprised if it’s another high-scoring game. The bowlers need to use those big square boundaries.”

LSG vs GT Live Score, IPL 2025: Match 26 of IPL

Hello and welcome to our continued live coverage of the Indian Premier League where we have a double header today. We start things off in Lucknow with Lucknow Super Giants hosting Gujarat Titans in Match 26.In the evening, Sunrisers Hyderabad will host Punjab Kings with desperate attempt to push themselves out of the bottom of the points table.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans Live Score, IPL 2025: Adapting to home conditions has proven challenging this IPL 2025, but on Saturday, the Lucknow Super Giants will make another attempt when they take on Gujarat Titans at the Ekana Stadium.LSG’s season kicked off with drama following a loss to Punjab Kings, which prompted a pointed remark from Zaheer Khan. A switch from a red soil pitch to a black soil one resulted in a win in their second match, though perhaps not in the dominant manner they hoped. Victories in Hyderabad and Kolkata have kept LSG in contention for the top four, even while they sit just outside the playoff spots.As the tournament advances and more teams compete for better positions, LSG’s bowling lineup could be tested. Their pricey Indian bowling attack has performed adequately in two of their three victories but has been lackluster in both defeats. The batting has been carrying the team, but relying too heavily on it could lead to issues down the line.On a similar note, the Gujarat Titans have leaned on their top three and impact substitute Sherfane Rutherford for most of their runs in earlier wins, until their last match. They almost fell victim to their own success, but Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia stepped up after a rare failure from the top order, helping them secure a winning total. Coincidentally, GT also features an all-Indian pace unit in the absence of Kagiso Rabada, which has performed well in their four victories.
