LSG vs GT Head-to-head Stats
The Lucknow Super Giants and the Gujarat Titans have played four games against each other. GT have been the dominant side, winning all four clashes.
The last meeting of these two teams took place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in IPL 2023. The Titans batted first, and the openers, Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill put them on the front foot from the beginning of the game. Courtesy of a solid opening partnership, Gujarat Titans posted 227 runs on the board in their 20 overs, losing only two wickets.
Kyle Mayers and Quinton de Kock gave a solid start to LSG in the chase. However, the middle order failed to consolidate on the start. LSG managed to score 171 in their 20 overs and lost the match by a margin of 56 runs.
LSG will be hunting its third win of the season and is desperate to open its account against the Titans. On the other hand, the Titans will be looking to return to winning ways as soon as possible after their defeat against PBKS.

LSG vs GT Pitch Report
The pitch at the Ekana cricket stadium was known for its slowish and sluggish nature in the tournament's previous edition. However, in the only match played here in IPL 2024, it looked like a much better track with true pace and bounce and acting in favour of the batters. If the same wicket used in the last game is provided in this one, then we can expect to see a high-scoring clash. The spinners will, however, have a say on this pitch.

Fantasy value from the pitch report
- The wicket will be good for batting, especially against the new ball. The top-order batters will be the best picks for the fantasy contests.
- Pacers who have good cutters and slowers in their repertoire will be helpful. Keep more death-over specialists in your fantasy XI, as they might give you more points.
LSG vs GT Fantasy Cricket Tips
Lucknow Super Giants Heavy Fantasy XI
- Quinton de Kock has gathered a fine rhythm with the bat in the last two games. Given his form and the nature of the wicket, which favours top-order batters, he could be an essential choice in fantasy contests.
- KL Rahul, though he has been inconsistent in IPL 2024, will be a player to be kept in the fantasy contests.
- Mayank Yadav is the new star of the LSG bowling attack. He will be a must-pick for the game. You can also pick Ravi Bishnoi from LSG's bowling attack along with Yadav.
Gujarat Titans Heavy Fantasy XI
- The GT skipper Shubman Gill gained his form back in the previous match. He will be looking to make the most of the new ball here and play one more impactful knock. B Sai Sudharsan and Kane Williamson could be the two other important choices from the GT batting line-up.
- Mohit Sharma has been GT's most successful bowler in the tournament. His efficiency in the death overs makes Sharma a must-pick for the fantasy contingents. Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad could also be decisive picks.
LSG vs GT Winner Prediction
Since the inclusion of Mayank Yadav, LSG has looked unstoppable in IPL 2024. However, GT looks like a more complete side and could emerge as the winners in this game.
