Lucknow Super Giants called it right at the toss — batting first and ready to light up the scoreboard! Aiden Markram got off to a positive start, scoring a quick 36 runs off just 24 balls, including 3 fours and 2 sixes, setting the tone for a high-scoring innings. However, the real highlight was the extraordinary performance by Mitchell Marsh.

He batted with power and flair, keeping the Gujarat bowlers on their toes and speeding up the runs when it mattered most.

The LSG bowlers put Gujarat Titans under immense pressure during the chase. Akash Singh was the pick of the bowlers, taking one crucial wicket while maintaining a good economy rate. Will O’Rourke was impressive as well, claiming three important wickets and restricting runs at an economy rate of 6.75. Avesh Khan and Shahbaz Ahmed also contributed with vital breakthroughs at key moments, effectively breaking partnerships and slowing down the Titans’ scoring rate.

Gujarat Titans started with a strong power surge with Sai Sudharsan (21) and Shubman Gill (35 of 20) looking eager to make a mark after Jos Buttler, the dangerous LSG bowler, sent Gill back and was also out himself for 33. Sherfane Rutherford (38) also had a good innings alongside M Shahrukh Khan off 29 balls (57 off 29) while playing a brief aggressive innings, pulling Shahrukh with five fours and three sixes.
