Head to Head
GT have a 5-3 edge in this rivalry across their 8 meetings since both teams joined the IPL in 2022.

GT arrive with fresh momentum after their dramatic 1-run win over DC in M14 — their first win of the season. LSG need to build on their W10 vs SRH and keep themselves in the top half of the table.
