Gujarat Titans Batting: 180/6 (20 Overs)

GT’s innings was a story of two halves. The first 12 overs produced 120 runs without loss. The next 8 overs produced only 60 runs with 6 wickets falling. That imbalance cost GT at least 15–20 additional runs.

Fall of Wickets: 120-1 (Gill, 12.1) | 122-2 (Sudharsan, 13.1) | 127-3 (Sundar, 13.6) | 145-4 (Buttler, 16.4) | 176-5 (Rutherford) | 176-6 (Tewatia)

What most people miss: GT’s opening stand of 120 created the expectation of 200+. But Sundar (2 off 3), Tewatia (0 off 1), and Buttler (16 off 14) combined for just 18 runs off 18 balls in the middle phase. That is a collapse inside what looks like a respectable total.

GT Bowling vs LSG – Match 26

Prasidh Krishna was GT’s best bowler – 2/26 in 4 overs. But Siraj’s 0/50 in 4 overs was the weakness LSG targeted, particularly Pooran, who attacked that spell mercilessly.

Lucknow Super Giants Batting: 186/4 (19.3 Overs)

LSG’s chase was clinical. Markram set the platform in the powerplay, Pooran finished it with brute force. When Pant provided early momentum, LSG never felt any real pressure.

Fall of Wickets: 44-1 (Pant) | 111-2 (Markram) | 165-3 (Pooran) | 178-4 (Miller)

Key stat: Markram and Pooran together scored 119 runs off 65 balls – that partnership effectively ended the match as a contest before the 18th over.

LSG Bowling vs GT – Match 26

Ravi Bishnoi’s two wickets in a single over – removing both Sudharsan and Sundar – was the decisive bowling moment. It broke the spine of GT’s innings and triggered the collapse from 122/2 to 176/5.

Match 64 Full Scorecard – May 22, 2025 | Ahmedabad

LSG posted 235/2 batting first. GT were bowled out for 202/9 in 20 overs, losing by 33 runs. This was the most dominant performance in the Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans match scorecard across the entire IPL 2025 season. Mitchell Marsh’s 117 off 64 was the single biggest innings in this rivalry, and Will O’Rourke’s 3/27 was the most controlled bowling spell.

Result: LSG won by 33 runs
Toss: GT won, elected to bowl
Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad

Lucknow Super Giants Batting: 235/2 (20 Overs)

LSG’s 235/2 was built on Mitchell Marsh’s extraordinary hitting. The fact that GT chose to bowl first on a flat Ahmedabad surface – and then conceded 235 – underlines how badly that toss decision backfired.

Complete individual lines for Markram and Pooran are not published in publicly available sources. Verified total confirmed via ESPNcricinfo and CREX.

Batting Milestones:

• LSG 50 in 5.3 overs
• LSG 100 in 10.3 overs
• LSG 150 in 14.2 overs
• Mitchell Marsh 50 in 33 balls
• Mitchell Marsh 100 in 58 balls

This is where things get interesting: GT won the toss and chose to bowl – a reasonable call on paper. But Marsh turned that decision into a masterclass. He said after the match: “I felt in T20s, if you’re 12 off 12, it’s panic stations. Today was a lesson in hanging in there.” That composure under perceived pressure is what separated Marsh from any batter GT had in their lineup.

Gujarat Titans Batting: 202/9 (20 Overs)

GT’s chase required 236 from 20 overs – a rate of 11.80 per over on a flat ground. They started fast, lost wickets at the wrong time, and never recovered. Shahrukh Khan’s 57 off 29 was GT’s last real act of resistance.

Fall of Wickets: 46-1 (Sudharsan, 4.3) | 85-2 (Gill, 8.0) | 96-3 (Buttler, 9.3) | 182-4 (Rutherford, 16.1) | 186-5 (Tewatia, 17.0) | 193-6 (Arshad, 18.0) | 197-7 (Shahrukh, 18.5) | 200-8 (Rabada, 19.3) | 202-9 (Sai Kishore, 20.0)

The real turning point: GT reached 96/3 at the end of the 9th over. From that point, they needed 139 runs from 66 balls – a rate of 12.63 per over. The fall of Buttler (33 off 18) at that exact juncture removed GT’s best mid-innings accelerator. That single wicket shifted the match irrevocably.

Partnership Analysis – Match 64

The 4th-wicket stand of 86 between Rutherford and Shahrukh was GT’s most productive partnership. But it arrived at 96/3 – too deep in a chase of 236 to realistically win the match.

LSG Bowling vs GT – Match 64

Will O’Rourke’s 3/27 in 4 overs was the critical bowling performance. He removed Sudharsan, Rutherford, and Tewatia while giving away only 6.75 per over – a rate almost unheard of in a game where 235 were on the board. Ayush Badoni’s 2/4 in the final over sealed the result.

Player of the Match: Mitchell Marsh – 117 off 64

Why GT Lost Both Matches: The Real Pattern

The Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans match scorecard across both games reveals an uncomfortable truth for GT fans.

GT’s top order was never the problem. In Match 26, Gill (60) and Sudharsan (56) put on 120. In Match 64, the top four all scored between 21 and 38. The platform was always there.

The problem was structural. GT’s middle order – Buttler, Sundar, Rutherford, Tewatia – was composed of natural finishers deployed too early and natural rebuilders deployed too late. When the top order fell, GT needed their middle order to accelerate immediately. Instead, the acceleration came in short bursts, followed by more wicket clusters.

Original observation: GT’s team construction in IPL 2025 was optimized for one scenario – top order goes big, finishers protect and extend. The moment that the template broke, the whole batting order had no adaptive function. LSG’s bowlers, particularly Bishnoi and O’Rourke, identified this and attacked it methodically in both matches. This is not a luck-based result. LSG had a structural read on GT’s weakness and executed against it twice.
