LSG vs GT Dream11 Prediction IPL 2025: Match 26 of the Indian Premier League 2025 brings us a thrilling clash between two of the league’s youngest but strongest teams — Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Gujarat Titans (GT). Both teams have had solid starts to their campaign and will be looking to carry that momentum into this key encounter.
Lucknow Super Giants – Defying Expectations
Before the season began, not many had high hopes for LSG. But they’ve surprised everyone with their fight and form. They started IPL 2025 with a narrow one-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals, but have bounced back well with three wins in their next four matches:
- Beat Sunrisers Hyderabad comfortably
- Lost to Punjab Kings
- Pulled off a tight win against Mumbai Indians
- Outpowered Kolkata Knight Riders in a run-fest
With 3 wins from 5 matches, 6 points, and a positive net run rate, LSG sits 5th on the points table and is building serious momentum.
Gujarat Titans – Climbing Fast After Early Setback
GT also began the season with a tough loss, going down to Punjab Kings in a high-scoring game. But since then, they’ve been unstoppable:
- Defeated Mumbai Indians
- Beat Royal Challengers Bangalore
- Got the better of Sunrisers Hyderabad
With 3 wins from 4 games, GT has 6 points and one of the best net run rates in the league. They’re currently ranked 2nd, and a win here could push them to the top.

Pitch Report – Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow
The pitch at Ekana Stadium is known for its spin-friendly nature, offering sharp turn and slow bounce. In previous seasons, scores here have been modest, with 140-160 often being competitive. However, the surface has looked slightly better for batting this year, and we could see a total closer to 180-200 if batters get going.
Bowlers, especially spinners, will still have a role to play in the middle overs.

3 Players To Watch: LSG vs GT Dream11 Prediction
- Mohammed Siraj (GT): Siraj has been outstanding this season, picking up 9 wickets in 4 matches at an average of 13.77 and an economy of 7.75. He’s already won 2 Player of the Match awards and is clearly GT’s go-to man with the ball.
- Nicholas Pooran (LSG): Pooran is arguably the best T20 batter in IPL 2025 so far. In 5 games, he’s scored 288 runs at an average of 72 and a strike rate of 225. His recent knock of 87 off 36 balls* shows just how dangerous he is.
- Sai Sudharsan (GT): The young left-hander is having a dream season. In just 4 games, he has already scored 191 runs with an average of 47.75, including two half-centuries. He’s quietly building a strong case for India selection.
LSG vs GT Dream11 Prediction: Who Will Win?
Both teams are riding high on confidence, but Lucknow Super Giants have the home advantage and a few in-form match-winners. If their top order fires and the spinners control the middle overs, LSG could edge out GT in this afternoon clash.
Prediction: Lucknow Super Giants to win Match 26 against Gujarat Titans.
