Here we will discuss the team preview, predicted players, key players, weather, pitch reports, analysis, and finally, the match prediction.

Tata IPL 2023 GT vs LSG Team preview:

Gujarat Titans:

Gujarat won their previous match after handing a crushing defeat to Rajasthan. They won the game by nine wickets. Bowling first, they restricted the opposition batters to 118. Rashid was the star performer, as he picked up three wickets while conceding only 14 runs in his four overs. Fellow Afghani spinner Noor Ahmad also got two wickets to his title.

In the batting section, the GT top order made the chase look very easy as they reached the target within 14 overs. They lost only one wicket in their pursuit. Saha scored an unbeaten 41 runs while skipper Hardik remained not out at 39 runs off just 15 balls.

Lucknow Super Giants:

The Lucknow had their previous match against Chennai Super Kings washed out due to rain and could obtain only 1 point. Before that, they lost to Bangalore by 18 runs in a high-voltage contest. They bowled 1st in that match and got the Bangalore batters down to 126 in the 1st innings. Naveen was the top bowler as he claimed three wickets. Leg Spinners Ravi Bishnoi and Amit Mishra also joined the party by picking up two wickets each.

There were few positives from the batting department as the Lucknow batters were unable to chase down this mediocre total on a hard pitch. Krishnappa Gowtham was the top run-scorer for the squad with his 23-run knock in the middle overs. They will also be without their skipper for the rest of the league due to an injury.

Tata IPL 2023 GT vs LSG Weather & pitch report:

The match GT vs LSG match will occur at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. With an average 1st-innings score of 192 in the Indian Premier League, the surface at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium benefits batters. The pitch is suspected of remaining dry throughout the match, providing nominal assistance to spin bowlers. Fans should expect another high-scoring match, with batters taking control from the opening over.

There is the least chance of rain during the game, and the conditions will be very humid and hot. Temperatures will be close to 40.

The toss-winning team will choose to bat first because, over the past few matches, it has been noticed that chasing is hard at this Ahmedabad wicket. The toss-winning captain will want to defend the total.

Tata IPL 2023 GT vs LSG Match Analysis:

Gujarat has been dominant in the league since their inception last year. They won the title on their first try and are also at the top of the table this year. Pandya has been leading his boys with grace and vigour throughout. Gujarat Titans have lost only three matches in the IPL and have won seven out of the ten games they have played.

LSG are in the top 4 as well currently. However, they must continue performing well and move on from their recent loss against Bangalore. They will be without captain Rahul for the remainder of the season, which might be a big loss.

So, the next GT vs LSG match will be very important for both teams. If Lucknow loses the game, they might get demoted in the point table, whereas the same might apply to Gujarat. So, captains are under huge pressure with the match but are also confident in their performance.

Tata IPL 2023 GT vs LSG Match prediction:

However, Gujarat Titans have been on a roll and will use their home conditions against Lucknow. LSG will play without their captain Rahul for this season and will find it difficult to counter this strong Gujarat team away from home. However, in the GT vs LSG match, Lucknow will make a good hit on their scorecard.
