The Gujarat Titans (GT) delivered a clinical performance to defeat the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)by seven wickets in Match 19 of IPL 2026 at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium. After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, the Titans utilized their bowling depth to restrict Lucknow to a modest total of 164/8 on a surface that offered decent bounce.
The standout performer for Gujarat was Prasidh Krishna, who produced a match-defining spell of 4 for 28, consistently unsettling the LSG batters with his pace and length. He was effectively supported by Ashok Sharma, who claimed 2 for 32, and Mohammed Siraj, who maintained immense pressure with an economical return of 1 for 19.
For the Super Giants, Aiden Markram provided the most resistance with a stylish 30 off 21 balls, while Nicholas Pooran (19), Rishabh Pant (18), and Abdul Samad (18) all got starts but failed to convert them into a substantial score.
The Titans’ run chase was characterized by a powerhouse second-wicket partnership that effectively took the game away from the hosts. After the early departure of Sai Sudharsan (15), Jos Buttler and captain Shubman Gill orchestrated a masterful recovery.

Buttler and Gill Fifties Guide Gujarat Titans to Easy 7-Wicket Victory
Buttler was particularly aggressive, smashing 60 off just 37 balls, including 11 boundaries, to put the LSG on the back foot. Gill played the perfect anchor role, finishing with a calculated 56 off 40 balls. Although both set batters were dismissed as the target drew near, Washington Sundar remained composed with an unbeaten 21 off 13 balls, and Rahul Tewatia (10)* hit the winning runs to take Gujarat to 165/3 with eight balls to spare.
On the bowling front for Lucknow, Mohammed Shami, Prince Yadav, and Digvesh Rathi each managed to pick up a single wicket, but they lacked the scoreboard pressure required to defend such a total. This victory marks a significant turnaround for the Titans, earning them two vital points and moving them up to fifth in the standings.
