GT Team News & Playing 11
GT Team News
In spite of their disappointing defeat to Delhi Capitals earlier in the week, as expected, Gujarat Titans did not press the panic button and instead selected the same XI for Friday’s top four clash with Rajasthan Royals. Josh Little will miss the remaining group stage games due to Ireland’s series with Bangladesh which begins on Tuesday.
GT Key Players
- Shubman Gill- the right-handed opener was able to bat in a measured fashion as Gujarat Titans chased down a low target on Friday. He has been in brilliant form throughout IPL 2023.
- Hardik Pandya- the batting all-rounder and skipper found his rhythm from the first ball against Rajasthan Royals and will come into this game full of confidence to post another big total.
- Rashid Khan- the right-arm leg-spinner is now the joint leading wicket taker in the tournament and is claiming to have disguised his googly to make him even tougher to play.
GT Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Sai Sudharsan, Srikar Bharat, Shivam Mavi, Ravisrinvasan Sai Kishore
Ravisrinvasan Sai Kishore is a slow left-arm spinner and could well come into the side to bolster an already strong spin attack. Shivam Mavi is a pace bowler capable of causing problems on any surface.
GT Team Form
Gujarat Titans have won four of their last five games and showed that they have exceptional quality with both bat and ball against Rajasthan Royals in the last game.

LSG Team News & Playing 11
LSG Team News
Since they last played in the no-result fixture with Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday, it has been announced that skipper KL Rahul will play no further part in the tournament after he limped off the field in the defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Krunal Pandya will continue to captain the side in Rahul’s absence.
LSG Key Players
- Kyle Mayers- the powerful opening batter from the West Indies has hit four half-centuries in this tournament and will not be intimidated by any opposing bowler.
- Ayush Badoni- the 23 year old was the only reason that Lucknow Super Giants were able to get near a total anywhere competitive against Chennai Super Kings. His 59 not out was his best ever T20 score.
- Ravi Bishnoi- the spinner is Lucknow Super Giants’ top wicket taker in the competition but went wicketless against the Titans earlier in this campaign and will want to make amends in this fixture.
LSG Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Yash Thakur, Daniel Sams, Prerak Mandak, Deepak Hooda, Quinton de Kock
Yash Thakur came into the side during the defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore and bowled economically. Hooda is a powerful batter who would normally be a regular starter if he was in better form.
LSG Team Form
Lucknow Super Giants have won only one of their last four games in the tournament. However, they are still in contention at the top of the table.

🏆 GT vs LSG Prediction
These two teams were the new sides in the 2022 IPL and both have enjoyed plenty of wins since joining the competition. Although he had not been quite at his best, KL Rahul is a huge loss for Lucknow Super Giants and they need to find a new formula to post competitive totals. Gujarat Titans never let Rajasthan Royals back into the game on Friday and we expect them to dominate this match also. Our prediction is for Gujarat Titans to win.
