Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran were the stars of the show, both notching up fluent half-centuries. Marsh, who was later adjudged Player of the Match, credited the turnaround to his new opening role and his growing partnership with Aiden Markram. \u201cBeing given the opportunity to open, the partnership with Markram has helped me,\u201d Marsh noted. Reflecting on the competitiveness of the tournament, he added, \u201cThe IPL is a beast of a competition, any team can beat any team and that makes it the best tournament in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response, GT could only muster 202 for 9, falling well short despite spirited knocks from Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford. GT captain Shubman Gill admitted his side let the game slip in the latter stages. \u201cThey scored 180 in the next 14 overs which was a lot,\u201d said Gill. \u201cWe gave 15-20 extra. If we&#8217;d stopped them at 210-220 it would&#8217;ve been better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gill\u2019s men now face a challenging path to Qualifier 1. They must win their final game and hope either Punjab Kings or Royal Challengers Bangalore drop points in theirs.<\/p>\n<p>LSG captain Rishabh Pant praised his team\u2019s all-round effort but acknowledged the season\u2019s ups and downs. \u201cWe talk about playing good cricket, we&#8217;ve shown on occasion we can do that,\u201d he said. \u201cThere were times in the tournament where we had our chances (but didn&#8217;t make it), but it&#8217;s part and parcel of the game.\u201d Pant also lauded the bowlers for keeping their composure under pressure, while stressing the need to improve in the field.<\/p>\n<p>With just one league fixture remaining for each team, the race for playoff spots is set for a thrilling finale. For now, it\u2019s LSG who march forward with renewed hope, while GT are left to regroup and cling to playoff permutations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahmedabad: In a high-stakes encounter that could reshape the IPL 2025 playoffs, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) delivered a commanding performance to defeat Gujarat Titans (GT) by 33 runs, effectively denting GT\u2019s aspirations of finishing in the top two of the points table.
