The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and the Gujarat Titans (GT), the two top-ranked sides in the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) at present, will clash in Match 57 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune on Tuesday. Although Lucknow and Gujarat have been the two most consistent sides in IPL 2022, they head into Tuesday’s clash with contrasting fortunes.
LSG are on a four-match winning streak. In their last game, they hammered the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 75 runs. Batting first, Lucknow put up a competitive 176 for 7 on the board. Their bowlers then excelled as KKR were bundled out for 101 in 14.3 overs. On the other hand, GT failed to chase down 178 against the Mumbai Indians (MI). They needed nine to win off the last over but managed only three.
When Lucknow and Gujarat met in the first half of the tournament, Hardik Pandya’s men eased to a five-wicket victory in a chase of 159. KL Rahul’s IPL team will be a lot more confident this time round.
Today's IPL toss result
The Gujarat Titans have won the toss and have opted to bat first. Speaking about the decision, skipper Hardik Pandya said:
“The wicket looks alright and we want to put some runs on the board. It will play similarly in both innings. In the last ten odd games, the side batting first has won.”
Gujarat have made three changes to their playing XI. Matthew Wade comes in for Lockie Ferguson, Sai Kishore for Sai Sudharsan and Yash Dayal for Pradeep Sangwan. Lucknow have one change. Ravi Bishnoi misses out and Karan Sharma replaces him.
