LSG vs GT Prediction: Lucknow to reverse home curse

Lucknow Super Giants host Gujarat Titans at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Match 19 of the 2026 Indian Premier League on Sunday (11:00 BST, Sky Sports Cricket). Both sides arrive with winning momentum with LSG having stitched together back‑to‑back victories after a shaky opening defeat.

Gujarat claimed their first two points of the campaign in a thrilling game against Delhi Capitals on Wednesday when David Miller turned down a single that would have guaranteed a Super Over on the penultimate ball. Below are my LSG vs GT predictions, alongside team news and match odds.

Team News

Lucknow are expected to retain the same XI that delivered a dramatic last‑ball win over Kolkata Knight Riders. Mukul Choudhary’s unbeaten 54 has strengthened his claim to move up a spot or two in the middle order, behind a stable opening partnership of Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh.

Nicholas Pooran remains under pressure after a lean run, but Rishabh Pant is likely to back his senior batter for at least one more outing.

With Wanindu Hasaranga now having been replaced by South African all-rounder George Linde after failing to recover from a hamstring injury, LSG look set to rely on Manimaran Siddharth’s left‑arm spin to control the middle overs.

Gujarat Titans, meanwhile, are expected to field a similar XI to the one that edged Delhi Capitals by a single run earlier in the week. Shubman Gill continues to lead the side and remains their most reliable batter, while Rashid Khan’s return to form with a three‑wicket haul is a major boost.

LSG vs GT Odds

Lucknow Super Giants are 1/1 to make home advantage count, while Gujarat Titans are 4/5 to claim their second win of the season.

It’s 5/6 for LSG to hit the most sixes and 1/1 for the Super Giants to produce the Highest Opening Partnership.

LSG to win @ 1/1

The Super Giants have lost six of their last eight matches in Lucknow, but should have gained some confidence from back-to-back road wins.

Rishabh Pant’s men look a more settled and confident side than the Titans at this stage of the season. Their bowling attack has been excellent across the last two matches, with Shami, Avesh and Siddharth combining to restrict both SRH and KKR at key moments.

Markram’s form at the top of the order gives them stability, while Marsh and Choudhary have provided valuable support. Pant’s captaincy has also been praised for its clarity and aggression.

Gujarat, by contrast, are inconsistent. Their batting has leaned heavily on Gill, as their middle order has yet to fire collectively. Their death bowling has also been unreliable, conceding costly overs in all three matches so far.

With LSG playing in front of their home fans and carrying superior momentum, the hosts look the stronger pick.

Top Away Team Bowler - Rashid Khan @ 13/5

Rashid Khan arrives in Lucknow fresh from a superb Player‑of‑the‑Match display against Delhi Capitals, where he returned outstanding figures of 3‑17 from four overs. His economy rate of 4.25 in that game underlining his control, and the Afghanistan leg‑spinner looks primed to thrive again on a surface that typically offers early grip.

Rashid also has a strong personal matchup against two of LSG’s key middle‑order batters. He has dismissed Rishabh Pant and Nicholas Pooran multiple times, and both have shown vulnerability against high‑quality wrist‑spin this season.

With Gujarat searching for consistency and relying heavily on their senior bowlers, Rashid remains their most reliable wicket‑taking threat, and excellent value to top the charts again.

Top Home Team Batter - Mukul Choudhary @ 14/1

Grab the inflated odds on Choudhary to top score for LSG while you can. The 21-year-old is a rising star of the IPL who struck a controlled but brutal half-century in his last match to rescue a seemingly impossible position.

It was only his third match in the league, but his shot selection and ability to hit boundaries all around the ground showed why Justin Langer chose to spend 2.6m crore on signing the uncapped youngster at the auction.

Choudhary has drawn comparisons to MS Dhoni after displaying a similar helicopter shot made famous by the Indian great and can take another opportunity to outshine his more experienced teammates on Sunday.
