GT vs LSG Team Previews
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.
They have received excellent support from Noor Ahmad and Mohit Sharma at the other end, while Joshua Little and Hardik Pandya have chipped in at key junctures.
Given the excellent form of most of its players, the Titans are inarguably one of the most difficult teams to beat in this league.

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 team has received some bad news right before this key contest as KL Rahul has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to an injury. His departure will further increase the pressure on the batting line-up, especially on Kyle Mayers. He is likely to be joined by Manan Vohra as his opening partner.
The team does have plenty of depth in their batting thanks to players like Krunal Pandya, Ayush Badoni, and Marcus Stoinis, and they will be looking to use it as an advantage. Talking about the bowling, Ravi Bishnoi has been the pick of the bowlers with 12 wickets and has received good support from Amit Mishra at the other end.
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 and Conditions
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.
The skies are expected to remain clear with temperatures nearing 40 degrees Celsius.
GT vs LSG Betting Tips
Looking at the recent form of both teams, we think that the Super Giants will find it difficult to break their losing streak against the Gujarat Titans here. The latter have been clinical in their performance this season and have overcome most challenges that were thrown their way. On the other hand, the Super Giants haven’t been consistent enough and the injury to KL Rahul leaves a big dent in their prospects.
Bet on the Gujarat Giants to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
While Shubhman Gill has been in good form throughout this season, Wriddhiman Saha has regained some of his lost form during the last few matches. The other batsmen in the top order including Vijay Shankar and Hardik Pandya are in good touch too and we can expect a brisk batting effort from them here.
Each of the last 3 matches played here has seen over 12.5 wickets fall. The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium does provide the disciplined bowlers some assistance and we are likely to see quite a few wickets tumble.
Both teams have aggressive openers that look for boundaries from the very first ball. Someone like Kyle Mayers or Shubman Gill could easily help you win this bet. KL Rahul, the one batter that takes time at the start, is not playing this match so the chances of this bet coming through have increased in our opinion.
