LSG vs GT Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – IPL 2025, 26th Match

Match Preview

The Gujarat Titans and the Lucknow Super Giants are two of the newest franchises in the IPL and have thrown up some exciting contests in the past couple of seasons. They are scheduled to meet twice this year, the first of which will be on Saturday at the Ekana Stadium.

The Super Giants have been a batting powerhouse powered by some ruthless hitting from Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran. However, their middle order seems a bit shaky. On the other hand, the Gujarat Titans have been clinical with both, the bat and the ball, with various players stepping up at different stages of the tournament.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The Ekana Stadium provides an excellent cricketing surface that has something for everyone. The green patches allow the seamers to get some movement off the seam, while the spinner can hit the rough spots. The batsmen, once settled, can play the big shots. Since this will be played in the afternoon, dew is unlikely to be a factor and we can expect the weather to be pretty hot.

LSG vs GT Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Nicholas Pooran is a no-brainer for this slot as he has been in red-hot form. We are also picking up Jos Buttler as he has played a couple of good knocks.

Batters

Sai Sudharsan and Mitchell Marsh have batted well throughout the series and are automatic choices. Shubman Gill is also a quality batsman who is indispensable for any team.

All Rounders

There aren’t many choices here. Aiden Markram has done a decent job but has struggled with the ball. Nevertheless, there isn’t any better option than him.

Bowlers

Mohammed Siraj and Sai Kishore have both picked up 10 wickets and made it to our team. We are also picking up Shardul Thakur and Digvesh Rathi for their wicket-taking abilities.

LSG vs GT Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Nicholas Pooran is our choice as the captain of the team. He is the leading run-scorer of the tournament and has played some brilliant knocks. His ability to play the big shots makes him the perfect choice for captain.

Vice-Captain

We are picking Sai Sudharsan for this post. He has scored at least 49 runs in 4 of his last 5 innings and is in good form.

LSG vs GT Team Expert Advice

This season has largely been dominated by the batsmen and we have therefore picked up the top two run-scorers as our captain and vice-captain. That said, the bowlers can have a say at the Ekana Stadium thanks to a slower wicket and we have tried to pick up a balanced playing XI.
