In a high-octane IPL 2025 clash, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) stunned Gujarat Titans (GT) with a 33-run victory in Match 64, played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The match saw Mitchell Marsh deliver a match-winning century, derailing Gujarat’s plans for a top-two finish.
Marsh’s ton sets the stage
Batting first, LSG posted a massive 235 for 2 in 20 overs. The innings was anchored by Mitchell Marsh, who smashed 117 runs off just 64 deliveries. His aggressive knock included 11 fours and 7 sixes, sending GT’s bowlers into damage control.
Nicholas Pooran added to the assault with a quickfire 54, while Aiden Markram contributed a brisk 36. The trio helped LSG record their highest total of the season.
GT’s reply lacks firepower
Gujarat Titans began their chase with intent. Openers Shubman Gill (35) and Jos Buttler (33) gave a promising start. But the middle order failed to capitalise.
Shahrukh Khan showed resistance with a blazing 57 off 29 balls. Sherfane Rutherford added 38 runs in a desperate attempt to revive the chase. But tight bowling by LSG restricted the home team to 202 for 9.
Will O’Rourke was the standout bowler for LSG, finishing with 3 for 27. Ayush Badoni also impressed with 2 for 4 in just one over.
Impact on points table
The result shakes up the points table. Gujarat, who were eyeing a top-two finish, now face stiff competition. LSG, already out of playoff contention, played the role of party spoilers to perfection.
Player of the match
Mitchell Marsh was rightly named Player of the Match for his blistering century that powered LSG’s triumph. His knock not only energised the team but also gave fans a performance to remember.
Looking ahead
With only a few league games remaining, teams are locked in a tight playoff race. For Gujarat, the loss is a wake-up call ahead of the knockouts. For LSG, it’s a morale-boosting end to a mixed season.
