Pitch Report

An excellent IPL venue where both batters and bowlers have historically performed well. A balanced team selection is advised.

Head to Head

3
LSG
5
GT

GT have a 5-3 edge in this rivalry across their 8 meetings since both teams joined the IPL in 2022. Both sides currently sit in the lower half of the IPL 2026 table, making this a critical match with significant points implications. 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.

⚠️

Tip: Always check the official playing XI announced on match day before finalising your fantasy team — last-minute changes happen. Head-to-head records are historical and approximate.
