On Sunday, April 12, Lucknow Super Giants will host Gujarat Titans at the Ekana Stadium for IPL 2026 match 19. The two teams will square off for the first time this season. It will be the first match of a Sunday double-header, kicking off at 3:30 pm IST.
Ahead of the match, here is a look at the LSG Vs GT Dream11 prediction, the fantasy cricket tips, the top player picks and the best-predicted Dream11 team today.
Hot Picks For LSG Vs GT Dream11 Team Today- IPL 2026, Match 17
Shubman Gill returned to the playing XI against the Delhi Capitals and played a valuable knock of 70 (45). The GT captain is back among runs and would look to get going against Lucknow Super Giants.
Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler, too, regained his lost mojo against Delhi Capitals, where the former England captain scored a blistering 50. He has 116 runs so far in three innings, making him a hot pick for Dream 11.
Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan was the star of the match, picking up three wickets. Khan, who was under criticism, took two wickets on two balls, which included a golden duck for Sameer Rizvi.
Lucknow Super Giants
Mukul Choudhary
For Lucknow Super Giants, it is a no-brainer as Mukul Choudhary will be the first pick. The right-handed batter snatched a win for his side from the jaws of defeat with his knock of 54 (27).
Mohammed Shami
Mohammed Shami too silenced his critics in IPL 2026 as the right-arm seamer has three wickets in three matches. The 35-year-old didn’t take a wicket against KKR, but created an impact with economical bowling.
Aidem Markram
Aiden Markram is always the safe bet when it comes to fantasy and dream XI. The South Africa international has 78 runs in three innings, averaging 26 and a strike-rate of 156.00.
Ekana Stadium - Record of Chasing Team
At present, 23 matches have been played at the Ekana Stadium. The team that chases here have had the upper hand with 13 wins. Notably, since it will be a day game, the toss won’t make much difference, and the surface will behave the same for the entire fourty overs.
Nonetheless, given the history of the ground, the team that wins the toss would look to field first.
LSG Vs GT Risky picks- IPL 2026, Match 19
Rishabh Pant
The highest-paid player has had a mixed season so far. He has scored 85 runs in three innings, which includes a solitary fifty-plus score. Besides that, Rishabh Pant has two low scores. Therefore, it is a risky pick, but once he gets going, there is no stopping him.
Mohammed Siraj
The 32-year-old has had an underwhelming season so far, with just 2 wickets in three innings. Siraj can regain his lost mojo at any point in the season, and it could be against LSG. Therefore, he too is a risky pick, as many might not place their bet on him.
Nicholas Pooran
Nicholas Pooran has been the biggest surprise of IPL 2026 so far. The southpaw has scored just 22 runs in three innings, averaging 7.33. However, the law of averages suggests that Pooran might return to form against the Gujarat Titans.
LSG Vs GT Differential picks- IPL 2026, Match 19
Mitchell Marsh
Mitchell Marsh is yet to explode in IPL 2026, and with his stellar form in the past one year, he isn’t far away from taking the league by storm. His aggressive approach in the powerplay makes him different from others.
Prince Yadav has been brilliant with the ball for LSG. The Delhi-based cricketer has been expensive but gets wickets for his team. The 24-year-old has 5 wickets in three innings.
Washington Sundar
Washington Sundar too rose to form in the match against the Delhi Capitals, where he scored a fifty. He can be a differential pick if GT also puts him to bowl.
