Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans, IPL 2023, Today Match Prediction

lsg vs gt Match Prediction & Analysis

We are in for a great contest as hosts Lucknow Super Giants take on the Gujarat Titans in the 30th game of the Indian Premier League 2023. The Super Giants stole the show in the last game with a good win against the Rajasthan Royals. On the other hand, the Titans come with a loss against the Royals, and they will look to bounce back.  

The Titans won both games against the Super Giants last year, which will make them confident. They have a strong bowling attack that has troubled opponents in most games. The Super Giants have struggled in the middle order, and it remains to be seen if they can deliver the goods, as the Titans have a strong bowling attack. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Lucknow Super Giants Preview

KL Rahul will be extremely pleased with his side's performance in the last game, where they won by 10 runs. The fact that they defended an average total against the batting powerhouse Rajasthan Royal will add to their confidence. Rahul is enjoying decent form, and he would like to lead from the front and build on this momentum.   

Kyle Mayers and Rahul are doing well at the top, with 400 runs between them, and the side will expect a good show from the pair. Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, and Marcus Stoinis haven't got going in the season, and they need to do well in the middle order. Nicholas Pooran has been in dashing form and adds to the side's firepower down the order with Krunal Pandya.  

Naveen-ul-Haq bowled brilliantly in the last game and will look for early breakthroughs with Yudhvir Singh. Avesh Khan and Stoinis will be confident after their good spells in the last game. Ravi Bishnoi and Amit Mishra strengthen this attack, and the side will have big expectations from them.

Gujarat Titans Preview

Hardik Pandya's side has seen a dip in form. They have lost the last two out of three games and went down by 3 wickets against the Rajasthan Royals in the last game. The defending champions shall look to bounce back here. Pandya will know Lucknow's strengths and expect a strong show from his players.   

Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill have done well at the top, and the pair must deliver a strong start. Sai Sudharsan has filled the big boots of injured Kane Williamson, and he needs to add runs with Pandya and David Miller in the middle order. Rahul Tewatia's lack of form with just 21 runs is hurting the side, and he must add quick runs with Abhinav Manohar and Rashid Khan down the order.  

Mohammad Shami and Pandya must deliver wickets early in the innings, as LSG has a strong top order. The side will need a good show from Rashid Khan has picked 11 wickets but has lacked consistency, and being the key bowler, he must bowl tight spells. Alzarri Joseph, Mohit Sharma, and Noor Ahmed make it a strong bowling attack.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies would be clear at Lucknow, and this would make conditions good for batting. The pitch hasn't been a batsmen's paradise, as the ball has stopped a bit on the surface. We expect another close contest between the bat and the ball, where a score of 175 runs would be good to defend. 

Venue Details

Atal Bihari Vajpayee International Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, is a good ground for batsmen who are selective with stroke-making. The ball stops and the spinners have done well at this venue. The straight boundaries are long, so batsmen must time their shots well at this venue.

Toss: To Bat

The wicket has been slow here. It is an afternoon game, and there won’t be much dew in the second innings. It can be a tough wicket to chase scores with the ball not coming onto the bat, and hence the side winning the toss is likely to opt for batting first. 

LSG vs GT
Winning Prediction

Lucknow Super Giants come here with a win, but the side still has some issues regarding their middle order. They have to bat well in this game against a strong bowling attack. The Gujarat Titans have their key players in good form and never lost a game against the Super Giants. We expect a close contest, but the Titans have the edge.
