IPL 2022 | LSG vs GT | Match 57 Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

It will be a clash between the table-toppers as Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), and Gujarat Titans (GT) meet in Match 57 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Tuesday (May 10) at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune. 

In their last outing, Lucknow secured a victory by 75 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). After an impressive performance from the batting department to post 176, the bowlers bundled out the opposition for a score of 101 and will be a confident unit. 

The Super Giants mark their presence in the pole position of the points table with 8 wins in 11 league matches. They will look to win this game and confirm their qualification into the playoffs. The KL Rahul-led franchise is not expected to tinker with the winning combination and will likely play with the same XI. 

On the other hand, GT suffered a close loss by 5 runs against Mumbai Indians (MI) in their last fixture. The bowlers had a bad outing to concede 177, barring Rashid Khan, who took 2 wickets. Although the openers provided a great start to the team, the middle-order faltered in crunch moments to seal the game. 

In this fixture, the Titans are expected to swap Abhinav Manohar with Sai Sudharsan to have a pinch-hitter in the middle order. With the same number of wins as LSG, the Gujarat-based franchise will look to continue its magic run and qualify for the first-ever playoffs.

Pitch Report:

The surface at this venue has provided optimum support to the batters on most occasions. The runs have come at a brisk pace with the new and the old ball. In the last game, the spinners could grip the ball better and were the key-wicket takers. A score of around 180 should be a winning total. With the previous five matches being won by the team batting first, the captain winning the toss can also go along the same route.
