Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans Scorecard · IPL 2026

Prasidh Krishna turned destroyer at Ekana Stadium on Sunday, ripping through Lucknow Super Giants with four wickets in a clinical Gujarat Titans performance that sealed a comfortable seven-wicket win – GT’s fourth victory of the IPL 2026 season.

LSG Innings: 164/8 (20 overs)

Gujarat Titans called it right at the toss and asked LSG to bat first on a tricky Lucknow surface. It was a decision that paid off almost immediately – Kagiso Rabada removed Mitchell Marsh for 11 in the first two overs, and LSG never fully recovered the momentum they needed.

Aiden Markram offered the most resistance, striking 30 off 21 balls before Prasidh Krishna had him caught by Washington Sundar in the seventh over. At 67/3, LSG were in serious trouble – and Rishabh Pant‘s 18 off 11 had looked promising before Mohammed Siraj ended it.

Nicholas Pooran battled for 19 off 21 but the asking rate was getting away from the middle order. Prasidh Krishna finished with 4/28 from four overs – a match-defining spell that kept LSG to 164/8 at the close. Mohammed Shami (12 off 4) and George Linde (16 off 10) added late impetus but the damage was done.

GT Innings: 165/3 (18.4 overs)

The chase was built on a superb partnership between captain Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler. Gill made 56 off 40 (6×4, 1×6) before Prince Yadav found his edge, but by that point the game was decided. Buttler was the star – 60 off 37 balls, hitting 11 boundaries in a calculated knock that took GT to the brink of victory before Shami prised him out in the 16th over.

Washington Sundar (21* off 13) and Rahul Tewatia (10* off 8) wrapped it up with eight balls to spare. GT cruised home to a seven-wicket win with minimal fuss.

Statz Ratings

The Statz Ratings tell the story clearly. Prasidh Krishna tops the chart at 87.2 – a deserved match award for four wickets that changed the complexion of the game. Buttler (60.3) and Mohammed Siraj (52.5) are the next two, with Gill (47.5) and Mohammed Shami (43.5) completing the top five.

For LSG, Markram’s 31.7 was their best individual rating – a reminder that he did his job at the top before Krishna struck. The rest of the batting order struggled to impose themselves against a disciplined GT attack.

Verdict

Gujarat Titans were simply better on the day. Prasidh Krishna’s four-wicket haul set the tone and Buttler’s authoritative half-century did the rest. LSG’s batting, without a true anchor to build around after Pant fell cheaply, lacked the firepower to challenge a target-that-never-felt-enough kind of innings. GT look in solid shape – Gill is leading from the front, Rashid Khan gives them a unique weapon, and Prasidh Krishna is bowling like a man on a mission. LSG need a response quickly if they want to stay in the top four race.
