Lucknow, April 11 (IANS) Lucknow Super Giants will host 2022 champion Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 19th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 to be played at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpaaye Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

LSG didn’t have the best start to their IPL 2026 campaign, but they’ve quickly turned things around with back-to-back impressive performances. The team has shown great composure in pressure situations, pulling off thrilling last-ball wins while chasing. In their latest outing, it was Mukul Choudhary who played the hero, smashing an unbeaten 54 off just 27 balls to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans haven’t quite found their rhythm this season and have looked inconsistent overall. They lost both opening matches against the Punjab Kings and the Rajasthan Royals. However, their convincing win over the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium could prove to be a turning point. With Shubman Gill leading the side, it will be interesting to see whether they can build on that momentum in the upcoming clash in Lucknow.

GT have a small edge over LSG in the head-to-head record. Both teams have played seven matches so far, in which the Gujarat Titans have won four matches, while the Lucknow Super Giants have come victorious in three matches.
