LSG vs GT Dream11 Prediction

LSG vs GT Match Preview

The opening pair of KL Rahul and Kyle Mayers has done a good job till now, providing the team with good starts in most matches.  Strike rate is a concern but that is not really a massive concern in Dream11 contests.

Mayers is in particularly sublime form, scoring 3 half-centuries in 6 innings, and will once again look to score runs at a brisk pace. Nicholas Pooran and Marcus Stoinis have been pretty consistent, scoring important runs during the middle and death overs.

However, the form of batsmen like Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, and Ayush Badoni isn’t the best this season. We would pick a maximum of one out of these three players in our team.

The seamers, including Naveen ul-Haq, Avesh Khan, and  Marcus Stoinis bowled an excellent line and length in the previous match against a rampant Rajasthan Royals batting and played a pivotal role in defending a modest total, and that should give them plenty of confidence.

Naveen ul Haq may not have picked up wickets but his change of pace could make him an excellent choice in this match.

The spinners, Ravi Bishnoi and Amit Mishra too have been pretty economical in the games played so far and will once again play a key role here.

Shubhman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have been in good form with the bat, with each of them scoring 2 half-centuries. They are easily the two best batters for GT right now and an automatic selection. They have received decent support from Vijay Shankar, who has played well in patches. However, the other top and middle-order batsmen will need to up their game if the Titans want to put up a better show.

Wriddhiman Saha has struggled in the opening slot. He gets off to a good start but becomes a liability to the team if he stays in too long because his power game is insufficient to attack the bowlers after the powerplay.

David Miller and Hardik Pandya have been inconsistent lower down the order and have also not got enough time to play in the middle. The team does have good depth in their batting thanks to players like Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan, but they haven’t got much of a chance to showcase their talent.

One area where the Titans have an advantage is the bowling department. Their two main bowlers, Rashid Khan, and Mohammad Shami, have picked up 21 wickets between them and will be hoping to put up another good show here. They will expect good support from other bowlers including Alzarri Joseph, Josh Little, and Mohit Sharma.

Shami is turning into a world-class new ball bowler while Joseph is the enforcer in the middle.
