Series: Indian Premier League 2023
Gujarat Titans vs Lucknow Super Giants, 51st Match 7th May 3.30 PM IST
Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
GUJARAT TITANS
The Gujarat Titans have continued their excellent form from the last season and are by far the best-performing team. They have won 7 of their 10 matches so far and a win here will all but confirm their spot in the playoffs.
Shubhman Gill will once again be the key batsman for the Titans in this match. Although, they will be pretty delighted with the performances of Wriddhiman Saha and Hardik Pandya who got some important runs under their belts
in the last match.
Add the likes of Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Abhinav Manohar, and Rahul Tewatia in the mix and the Titans have a pretty strong and deep batting line-up. The team also has a well-balanced bowling attack at their disposal. Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan have scalped 18 wickets each and are the two leading wicket-takers of the tournament.
LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS
The Lucknow Super Giants have been a bit inconsistent this season and have lost 3 of their last 5 completed games. Their most recent match, played against the CSK was washed out, forcing them to share points.
As a result, even with just 4 matches to go for them, their spot in the top-4 is not yet confirmed.The seam attack appears to be a bit weak at the moment as only Naveen ul-Haq has been able to trouble the opposition,
while Marcus Stoinis and Yash Thakur haven’t had that big of an impact.
Pitch Report
We have seen quite a few high-scoring encounters at the Narendra Modi Stadium this season but that was not the case in the last match as the pitch was considerably slower than the previous matches.
However, we think that it was more of an aberration and the team batting first will need to aim for over 180 runs here. The seamers will enjoy the good bounce on offer and can get some movement off the pitch.
key players GUJ : Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Mohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya
key players LSG : Krunal Pandya, Marcus Stoinis, Pooran, Amit Mishra
Prediction: the Gujarat Giants to win the match
