LKN vs GUJ Match Preview

Lucknow Super Giants have bounced back strongly after the loss in their first match. They have won two matches in a row and have two wins in thee matches now. They have an explosive batting line-up with Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul at the top. Nicholas Pooran has been in good hitting form while allrounder Marcus Stoinis provided them the stability. But their biggest strength is undoubtedly Mayank Yadav. The fast bowler has taken the IPL by storm and Lucknow will hope for another match-winning performance from the youngster.

Gujarat Titans have won two and lost two matches so far. They have had a middling season so far. The loss in the last game to Punjab Kings will hurt them as they were so close to win. Shubman Gill's form was a big plus point for them but Miller's unavailability will hurt them as he is set to be out of some more matches. Rashid Khan's form will worry the Titans as he is their best bowler. The onus is on Noor Ahmad, Mohit Sharma, and other Titans bowlers to deliver in this crunch game.
