Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants will square off in IPL 2025 match No. 64 on Thursday, May 22, at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. LSG was eliminated because the game was a dead rubber for the visiting team, while GT has already advanced to the top four. GT only has the opportunity to maintain their lead in this game in order to guarantee a top-two finish at the Points Table.
Even before this game begins, a fourth team may have a Q next to their name on the points table since the Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals will have the former qualifying if they win, while three teams have already qualified for the playoffs. Additionally, the two clubs are coming off of opposing outcomes in their prior games.
In their last encounter in Delhi, the hosts appeared to have the Delhi Capitals in the bag, but KL Rahul’s century and several well-timed cameos enabled DC to overcome the sluggish start. However, GT found it quite easy to pursue their goal. Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill chased the score down alone and displayed excellent risk-free cricket. Rahul’s century was matched by Gill’s unbeaten 93 and his partner’s unbeaten century, securing GT’s spot in the top four.
In contrast, LSG struggled against SRH in Lucknow. Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Marsh, and Aiden Markram all made significant contributions, but the rest of the batting collapsed, as has been the season’s narrative. particularly in light of Eshan Malinga’s performance in the end.
In the end, Abhishek Sharma answered all of the queries regarding SRH’s pursuit. Sharma got off to a great start, but in the seventh over, he smacked Ravi Bishnoi for four consecutive sixes. Heinrich Klaasen, Kamindu Mendis, and Ishan Kishan handled the remainder.

Key Player Battles in GT vs LSG, Match 64 of IPL 2025:
1. Rishabh Pant vs Rashid Khan
Pant has been having one of the worst IPL season ever imaginable by a frontline batter, let alone captain. While there isn’t much time left to turn it around, his record against the leggie might help. So far in the IPL, Pant has made 112 runs in 93 balls at a strike rate of 120.43 while being dismissed twice at an average of 56.
2. Shubman Gill vs Shardul Thakur
Shubman Gill on the contrary, has been having a blast in IPL 2025. But all the euphoria could vanish away as Gill shapes up to Thakur – a bowler who has troubled him in the past. So far in the IPL, Gill has scored 51 runs in 45 balls at a strike rate of just 113.33 while being dismissed twice at an average of 25.50.
