LSG vs GT Preview: 

• Quinton De Kock has been on fire in IPL 2024. He will come into the match after blazing fifties in previous two games. Against a weak GT bowling, De Kock can be devastating. Back him as LSG top batter. Mayank Yadav has made a big impact in two games he has played, winning MOM awards in both games. Back him as LSG top bowler.
• Shubman Gill returned to form with a brilliant knock of 89 against PBKS. He is someone who can be backed for consistency so he is our pick for GT top scorer. Meanwhile, Rashid Khan has looked ineffective in taking wickets but Noor Ahmed has picked wickets as well. On a sluggish surface, Noor can be dangerous. Back him as GT top bowler.
• It’s a small ground and given the power hitters in both teams, more sixes than fours are likely to be hit here. Total sixes in the match should be over 15.5.

Weather: ⛅

The weather will be clear and the temperature will range between 37 and 29 degrees. The humidity will be 23 percent while wind speed will be 10kmph.

Pitch Report: 

It will be a sporting surface. The pacers will get some help early on while the spinners will get the ball to grip as the game progresses and the ball gets soft. Batters will enjoy the quick outfield and short boundaries.

Team NEWS: 

LSG Team News: 

Devdutt Padikkal has not looked in great form so there is a possibility of Deepak Hooda getting a shot in the playing XI. There should be no other changes in the playing XI unless there is an unreported injury concern. Meanwhile, Shivam Mavi has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury. 

GT Team News: 

The Titans failed to defend 199 against PBKS, showing the weakness in their bowling attack. Umesh Yadav has looked ineffective and he can be replaced by Kartik Tyagi. Also, Shahrukh Khan or Abhinav Manohar will be in line to play the next game, replacing Vijay Shankar. If David Miller is fit, he will come in place of Kane Williamson.

Winning Chances: 

LSG are favourites to win. Without a doubt they are a better team than GT, with quality in batting and bowling. GT this season are missing quite a few big guns and are mostly reliant on Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan in batting. Rashid has looked ineffective so far while the team also lack a good new ball bowler. For us, LSG are favourites to win.

Lucknow Super Giants to beat Gujarat Titans.

Lucknow Super Giants a 85% chance to win this match 

Gujarat Titans a 15% chance to win this match 

Key Players: 

Lucknow Super Giants 

KL Rahul 

Rahul has been one of the most consistent performers for LSG in the previous two years and started the season with a fifty against RR. However, it was followed by two back to back low scores. Rahul will be eyeing a strong return against GT.

Quinton de Kock 

De Kock has been in great form and is getting better with every passing game. He scored his second consecutive fifty of IPL 2024 when he blasted 81 in 56 balls against RCB. He will be looking to make it a hattrick of half centuries in next game.

Nicholas Pooran 

Pooran has been going through a purple patch in his career. He blasted 40 in just 21 balls against RCB and took LSG to a fighting total. When on song, Pooran is impossible to contain. He has started IPL 2024 on a very strong note.

Mayank Yadav 

Yadav has grabbed eyeballs with his searing pace and accuracy. With six wickets in two matches, he has already won two match of the match awards. He has been a nemesis for the batters so far and all eyes will be on him when he takes the field against GT.

LSG Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Deepak Hooda, M Siddharth, Amit Mishra, K Gowtham, Shamar Joseph 

Mostly, M Siddharth will be used as an impact player by LSG as he did remarkably well against RCB. In case they need a batter, Hooda or Padikkal, whoever is not in the playing XI can get a game.

Gujarat Titans 

Shubman Gill 

Shubman Gill returned to form with a magnificent knock of 89 against PBKS. If GT have to make an impact in IPL 2024, Shubman Gill will have to play a massive role in their campaign.

Sai Sudharsan 

The left hander has played well for GT this season. With 160 runs in 4 matches, he has got his campaign off to a decent start. Sudharsan is one of the most promising Indian batters and very well capable to set the stage on fire in IPL 2024.

Rahul Tewatia 

Every time GT need someone to bail them out of trouble, Tewatia  has raised his hand. Even though he bats low in the order, GT might think of promoting him above given his consistent performances. If GT is chasing, Tewatia will be their most important player.

Noor Ahmed 

Noor Ahmed was the best GT bowler and he picked two wickets for 32 runs in 4 overs against PBKS. Rashid might not get many wickets as teams often tends to play him cautiously, however, Noor is not easy to defend given his variations thus there is no second line of defence against him.

GT Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Mohit Sharma, Shahrukh Khan, Abhinav Manohar, Manav Suthar, Karthik Tyagi 

Mohit Sharma will likely be used as an impact player but if GT need a batter, one of Abhinav Manohar or Shahrukh Khan can be used if he is not in the playing XI.

Team Forms: 

LSG Team Form: 

LSG lost the first game to RR but won their following two games against PBKS and RCB respectively.

GT Team Form: 

GT have been inconsistent this season. They have played four games, winning two and losing two.
