Match preview & overview
LSG post 235 and hold Gujarat's late charge to win by 33 runs
Lucknow Super Giants defeated Gujarat Titans by 33 runs at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, on 22 May 2025. LSG batted first after losing the toss and posted 235/2, a total 29 runs above the ground's average first-innings score of 206 across 95 T20s. Gujarat's reply started briskly, with 67/1 in the powerplay, but the chase unravelled in the death overs when they lost 6 wickets for 37 runs to finish on 202/9. MR Marsh was named Player of the Match for Lucknow.
For LSG, it was a performance built on sustained pressure across all three phases. The powerplay produced 53 without loss, the middle overs added 107 for 1 wicket, and even the death delivered 75 runs. Losing only 2 wickets across 20 overs is the kind of scorecard that makes 236 look like a par score. Gujarat were always fighting the asking rate from the moment that powerplay gap opened up.
The result moves LSG to three wins in eight meetings against Gujarat, closing the head-to-head record slightly. Gujarat still lead the series 5-3, but back-to-back LSG wins across the 2024 and 2025 seasons suggest the rivalry is more competitive than the overall numbers imply.

Betting & analytical angles
Angles the data surfaced
- Top batter markets may reflect the match's high-scoring nature better than outright result lines, given both sides reached three figures across multiple phases.
- Death-overs performance is a potentially useful angle: Gujarat lost 6 wickets for 37 in the final five overs, which markets pricing team totals and over/under lines may not always weight heavily enough.
- The toss has historically encouraged the fielding side at this ground (60 per cent of captains field first), but the outcome here suggests that preference does not guarantee a chase-friendly surface on every occasion.
- Gujarat's strong recent form coming into this match (four wins from five) versus LSG's poor run (one win from five) would have influenced pre-match lines, making the margin of 33 runs potentially surprising to markets.
