Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans will battle out at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. LSG has enjoyed a decent run so far, with four wins in six games but their batting has been a cause of concern. KL Rahul's strike rate has been on the lower side while other batters like Stoinis, Krunal Pandya and Deepak Hooda have been below par. Only Kyle Mayers and Nicholas Pooran look in decent touch.
For Gujarat Titans, the defending champions have been brilliant with the ball which has helped them win three out of five games. Shami and Rashid make up for a lethal bowling attack while Shubham Gill, Sai Sudarsan and David Miller have batted extremely well.
The match will be played in Lucknow so we don't expect it to be a high scoring one as the pitch has been very slow and hasn't allowed batters to play their shots.
With some rain around, the players will get some respite from the heat wave. The good news is that it is unlikely to rain during match hours.
KL Rahul (c), Kyle Mayers, Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Ayush Badoni, Naveen-ul-Haq/Mark Wood, Avesh Khan, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Ravi Bishnoi
Hardik Pandya (c), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Abhinav Manohar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma
LSG want Quinton de Kock in the playing 11 but Kyle Mayers’ decent run is keeping him out of the playing 11. LSG are likely to field the same team, with Mark Wood replacing Naveen ul Haq and then decide on the impact player looking at the situation of the match. The same can be said about Gujarat Titans as well.
Gujarat Titans played LSG twice last year and won both games. LSG will be looking to turn things around in the coming game.

Shubman Gill has been in top form for Gujarat Titans. The batter has looked calm at the crease and has scored 228 runs in five matches. On a sluggish Lucknow wicket, he will be key for GT.
KL Rahul doesn't look in his best form but having played a significant amount of matches on this pitch, he will be aware that he will have to play a long inning against a quality GT attack.
Rashid Khan has been brilliant for Gujarat Titans and it doesn't come as a surprise. On a low and slow Lucknow track, Rashid will be key for Gujarat Titans.
Mohammed Shami is also breathing fire in IPL 2023 with 10 wickets in five matches. Shami with the new ball has been unplayable and will be looking to continue his good run.
Ravi Bishnoi can be the game-changer for LSG. In recent games, he has looked in good touch and can pose a serious threat to the Titans’ batters.
