The Ekana Stadium in Lucknow will host a match between the two youngest IPL teams in history. Having completed just two IPL seasons, both teams aim to bolster their claims of possessing the talent and assets required to challenge for the title.
The more successful of the two, Gujarat Titans, having won the first title and the second trophy, wouldn’t be overly happy with their position in the tournament as of this writing.
They have played four games and have two victories and two losses thus far, placing them in seventh place with four points; in contrast, Lukcnow Super Giants, whom Gujarat has soundly dominated in head-to-head play, are in fourth place with one game less played.
While LSG will approach the encounter with a point to prove, GT will take comfort in the fact that they have not let LSG defeat them.
In an attempt to chase 136 runs against GT at home last year, LSG was bowled out by 7 runs during a bewildering, boundary-less stretch that lasted over 45 deliveries in the game’s latter stages.
But this year, with a bowler like Mayank Yadav and Nicholas Pooran tormenting batting attacks with his deadly pace and a batsman like Nicholas Pooran lighting up death overs with the bat in hand, they’ll play like a far more relaxed team.
How Yadav and Pooran conduct themselves will determine LSG’s prospects of winning for the first time. 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 kind 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 becoming bowling-fit is also a benefit for LSG as the tournament progresses.
Lucknow Super Giants Squads
KL Rahul (C), Quinton de Kock (wk), Ayush Badoni, Marcus Stoinis, Ravi Bishnoi, Krunal Pandya, Mohsin Khan/Yash Thakur, Nicholas Pooran, Mayank Yadav, Devdutt Padikka/Deepak Hooda, Naveen ul Haq
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 organizing the team since Hardik Pandya left for another team.
Although Gill’s personal form was erratic, he helped the Punjab Kings get nearly to 200 runs, their highest 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, resulting in 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.
Gujarat Titans Squads
Shubman Gill (c), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Kane Williamson/David Miller, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Noor Ahmad, Vijay Shankar/Shahrukh Khan, Umesh Yadav/Kartik Tyagi, Sai Sudharsan, Darshan Nalkande

Though LSG does so more frequently, both teams always try to make the most of the batting conditions for their batting unit. Unless there is a significant quantity of dew available, we expect the team that wins the toss to bat first.
There shouldn’t be any interruptions during the game because the weather forecast for the night encounter is favorable.
Low-scoring games are typical in this location because of the somewhat slow 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.
In the last four matches between these two teams, GT won all of them.
