As the IPL 2025 league stage nears its end, the battle for the top two positions intensifies among Gujarat Titans (GT), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Punjab Kings (PBKS), and Mumbai Indians (MI). Each team has showcased remarkable performances, but only two can claim the coveted spots that offer a direct path to Qualifier 1. Let's delve into the scenarios and strategies that could determine their fate.
Mumbai Indians delivered a dominating performance against Delhi Capitals in their previous IPL 2025 match on Wednesday and secured a playoffs berth. Playing at the Wankhede Stadium, MI posted a good total of 180/5 in 20 overs after being put to bat first. Later, Hardik Pandya and co dismantled DC's batting lineup and bundled them out for 121 to clinch a 59-run win. With MI becoming the fourth team to enter the playoffs, DC got eliminated from the race. This victory also became a special one for MI as it was their last game of the season at their den, Wankhede.
Despite being eliminated from the playoffs race, Lucknow Super Giants put up a dominating show to clinch a 33-run victory over Gujarat Titans on Thursday in Ahmedabad. Asked to bat first, LSG posted a whopping total of 235/2 with Mitchell Marsh hammering 117 runs off 64 balls. Later, GT gave a tough fight but LSG bowlers quickly bounced back and restricted Shubman Gill and co at 202/9. With this win, LSG severely dented GT's hopes of finishing in top two before the playoffs.
Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill acknowledged that giving away a few extra runs cost them dearly against Lucknow Super Giants and the team would strive to get the momentum back following their 33-run loss at home on Thursday. GT bowlers gave away far too many runs as LSG made a statement despite being out of the playoffs race by scoring huge 235/2 with their Australian opener Mitchell Marsh scoring his maiden IPL century -- 117 off 64 balls.
Lucknow Super Giants top-order star Mitchell Marsh believes the factor that makes the Indian Premier League (IPL) the "best competition in the world" comes down to its competitive nature, where any team can beat anyone on a given day. Lucknow dented Gujarat Titans' hopes of finishing at the top by derailing their pursuit of a daunting 236-run target and forcing them to surrender to a 33-run defeat. Following his record-shattering ton in the first innings, Marsh was the prime mastermind behind Gujarat's downfall at their home den in Ahmedabad.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant finally had the taste of victory as his franchise thumped high-flying Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match on Thursday. The defeat hurt the Titans' hopes of securing a top-two spot, which would've given the franchise two chances of making it to the final. While it's not all but over for GT as far as a spot in Qualifier 1 is concerned, not everything is in the hands of the Shubman Gill-led side.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rishabh Pant expressed happiness with the team's performance against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) on Thursday, at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. He highlighted their ability to play good cricket despite not qualifying for the IPL playoffs. He emphasised the importance of learning and improvement, while also acknowledging the positive contributions of the batting unit, particularly Shahrukh's performance, and addressing fielding lapses.
Lucknow Super Giants pacer Akash Singh paid tribute to his teammate Digvesh Rathi during an Indian Premier League 2025 match vs Gujarat Titans at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, on Thursday. Notably, spinner Digvesh missed the game as he was serving a one-match suspension for his tussle with SunRisers Hyderabad batter Abhishek Sharma in LSG's previous game. Digvesh had taken out his trademark 'notebook' celebration after dismissing Abhishek and also gave a send-off to the batter.
