Already on 16 points, GT needs just one more win to cement a top-two finish in IPL 2025. Their batting—powered by Gill (2,264 IPL career runs) and Sudharsan’s 505 IPL 2025 runs—can easily post 175–185 on this track, while Rashid Khan and Prasidh Krishna spearhead a potent bowling lineup.
Lucknow(LSG) Performance Prediction
Sitting on 13 points, LSG must win both remaining games to reach 17–18 points for a realistic playoff berth . With Pant, Miller, and Marsh in form, they can challenge totals around 170–175, but their bowlers must seize early wickets to stifle GT’s power hitters.
