IPL 2025 : Lucknow Super Giants Defeat Gujarat Titans by 33 Runs in High-Scoring Thriller

Chasing a daunting target of 236 runs set by LSG, Gujarat Titans showed early intent but ultimately fell short, finishing their innings at 202 all out.

GT’s innings began with promise, but early setbacks hampered their chase. Sai Sudharsan was dismissed after scoring 21 off 16 balls, while skipper Shubman Gill played a brisk innings of 35 runs from just 20 deliveries before falling. Jos Buttler contributed 33 runs, but it wasn't enough to anchor the chase.

The middle and lower order attempted a resurgence, with Sherfane Rutherford scoring 38 runs and Shahrukh Khan providing fireworks with a valiant 57. Despite their efforts, LSG's disciplined bowling attack managed to contain Gujarat’s batting lineup and secure a crucial victory.

Lucknow's bowlers executed their plans efficiently, ensuring regular breakthroughs and keeping the required run rate beyond Gujarat’s reach.

The result not only boosts LSG’s momentum in the tournament but also intensifies the competition for playoff positions, giving Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore a golden opportunity to climb the standings.
