Preview
Last year, LSG was bowled out by 7 runs after a confusing, boundary-less stretch spanning over 45 deliveries in the game’s latter stages as they attempted to chase 136 runs against GT at home.
But this year, with a bowler like Mayank Yadav and Nicholas Pooran tormenting batting attacks with his deadly speed and a batsman like Nicholas Pooran lighting up death overs with the bat in hand, they’ll play like a far more comfortable team.
How Yadav and Pooran conduct themselves will determine LSG’s prospects of winning for the first time ever. After two consecutive man-of-the-match performances, Yadav will be looking to step it up once more and put his abilities to the test against GT’s powerful batting order. Additionally, Pooran is willing to compete against individuals such as Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed.
Given the sort of starts he could offer at the beginning of the innings, Quinton de Kock getting back to his old self is a huge plus for LSG. Marcus Stoinis being bowling-fit is also a benefit for LSG as the tournament progresses.

Gujarat Titans (Match Odds- 1.85)
Preview
The Gujarat Giants’ 4-0 head-to-head record shows how dominant they have been over the Lucknow Super Giants in their meetings. However, the Giants don’t appear to be as formidable and compelling as they did the previous two seasons. Shubman Gill has faced difficulties organising the team since Hardik Pandya left for another team.
Although Gill’s own form was erratic, he helped the Punjab Kings get nearly to 200 runs, their best total in the league, with 89 runs against them. It is not good that they lost that game against Punjab Kings from a solid position. Their bowlers were unable to contain the tail, allowing the Kings to score 50 runs in 4.2 overs and suffer their second defeat of the competition.
With the ball, Mohit Sharma and Noor Ahmed appear convincing and dominant, while Rashid Khan, Umesh Yadav, and the rest of the attack have looked decent at times but unimpressive overall.
Full Squad:
Players to watch out for in:
Shubman Gill

Mohit Sharma
With the ball, Mohit Sharma appear convincing and dominant.
Possible Playing XI:

Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans Toss Prediction:
Both sides, but especially LSG, usually try to make the most of the hitting circumstances for their batting unit. Unless there is a substantial amount of dew available, we anticipate that the team that wins the toss will bat first.
Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans Pitch Report:
Low-scoring games are typical in this location because of the rather sluggish decks and large available boundary dimensions. In this game between LSG and PBKS, the batting-friendly strip yielded a run aggregate of over 375, which was encouraging. There shouldn’t be any interruptions throughout the game because the weather forecast for the night duel is favourable.
Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans Match Report:
In light of GT’s decline in form and the manner LSG is playing cricket, they are matching up nicely. LSG will be difficult to catch if Pooran lights things up with his late order blitz and if Mayank Yadav charges in and bowls some wheels.
We predict Lucknow Super Giants to win the Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans match at the odds of 1.95
Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans Most Recommended Player for Bet:
After two consecutive man-of-the-match performances, Yadav will be looking to step it up once more and put his abilities to the test against GT’s powerful batting order.
