Lucknow Super Giants have picked up form and are looking the real deal, even without Quinton de Kock in the side. Gujarat have started well but have tailed off, although the break should have done them good. I am putting my money in the 6s market though, with Lucknow backed to score the most maximums.

Head to Head

There have been two matches between Lucknow and Gujarat so far in this competition, both last year and both won by Gujarat.

In the first match, the Titans chased down 159 in the last over to win by five wickets. In the second, they defended 144 by bowling Lucknow out for 82 and thereby winning by 62 runs.

Lucknow Super Giants Form

Lucknow Super Giants are 2nd in the standings with eight points from six matches. They are only separated from leaders Rajasthan Royals by net run rate.

KL Rahul’s side are coming off a 10-run win over Rajasthan in Jaipur making it three wins from their last four games. Kyle Mayers (219 runs) has been a revelation with the bat while Mark Wood (11 wickets) and Ravi Bishnoi (eight) have been their bowling leaders.

The confidence in the Lucknow camp must be high after a measured win over Rajasthan, where they calculated the conditions perfectly.

Quinton de Kock remains on the sidelines as Kyle Mayers continues to pile up runs. Naveen-ul-Haq did really well on his IPL debut and should continue to be involved in the playing XI although Mark Wood is waiting in the wings.

Gujarat Titans Form

Gujarat Titans are 4th in the standings with 6 points from five matches. They are coming off a loss to Rajasthan making it two losses from their last three matches.

Shubman Gill (228 runs) has been the star of the batting show for Gujarat, while Rashid Khan (11) and Mohammed Shami (10) have been their bowling leaders.

The worry for Gujarat has been the absence of batting firepower beyond Shubman, and also the lack of runs from captain Pandya.

Gujarat Titans Team News

Vijay Shankar missed the last match but should be fit to face Lucknow. Joshua Little could be pushing for a start as well, but it remains to be seen if he gets a game ahead of Alzarri Joseph.

Verdict

Lucknow Super Giants v Gujarat Titans

Lucknow Super Giants have never won against Gujarat Titans losing both times last season. There can’t be a better time than now to change that record as Lucknow are on the up, having won three of their last four matches. While backing Lucknow looks an exciting prospect, my prediction is in the sixes market. I am backing Lucknow Super Giants to score the most match 6s while a small wager can be put on Shubman Gill top-scoring for the Gujarat Titans.
