LSG playing 11 vs GT
Lucknow Super Giants, despite having one of the best top orders in the tournament so far in Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran, are yet to achieve a dominant performance from their middle order. On top of that, their pacers have been leaking runs in the powerplay, which is also a big concern.

GT playing 11 vs LSG
If any team has formed the most formidable 11 in IPL 2025, it has to be GT. Their top order is contributing, and their middle order is stepping up whenever the team is in need. Their spinners have managed to stop the run flow in the middle overs, and their pacers have been picking wickets in the powerplay and death overs.
