Preview
Lucknow Super Giants will go head-to-head against Gujarat Titans in the 21st match of the IPL 2024 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. In the early stages of the tournament, LSG have emerged as one of the in-form teams, picking up two straight wins in a convincing fashion. Meanwhile, GT suffered a shock defeat at home while defending a big total against PBKS, halting their progress in the IPL 2024 somewhat.
Pitch Report
The pitch for the first match in the IPL 2024 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow was very good for batting, which was a stark contrast to all the help available for the bowlers at this venue last season. With that, the average first innings score of 154 runs at this venue in the tournament, will probably not be enough for either Lucknow or Gujarat to defend in their upcoming match.
Team Analysis
Lucknow Super Giants
Quinton de Kock and Nicholas Pooran have been the two top performers for Lucknow Super Giants with the bat, scoring vital runs for the team in the IPL 2024 thus far. The bowling attack of LSG got bolstered immensely following the inspired inclusion of Mayank Yadav, whose express pace has been the talk of the IPL after he played a key role in helping them win two matches in a row.

Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans batters put up a massive score of 199 on the board in the last IPL 2024 matchup against Punjab Kings, thanks to a very impressive unbeaten fifty from their captain Shubman Gill. But, despite the decent spells from Noor Ahmad and Mohit Sharma in particular, the GT bowling lineup failed to defend the total against an inspired batting performance from the opposition.
