Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on Rishabh Pant's Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

With 18 points from 12 matches, table-toppers Titans have already booked their place in the playoffs. However, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) close behind on 17 points, the race for a top-two spot is still very much alive.

Everything's clicked for Gujarat this season. Their formidable top three – B Sai Sudharsan (617 runs), captain Shubman Gill (601), and Jos Buttler (500) – have been in stunning form, consistently providing the backbone for their victories. With 16 half-centuries and a century between them, they've clinically dismantled opposition bowling. The only caveat? Their middle order remains largely untested due to this top-heavy success.


Gujarat's bowling is equally impressive. Spearheaded by their Indian pacers, Prasidh Krishna is the season's top wicket-taker with 21 scalps. He's been well-supported by Mohammed Siraj and the tall left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore, who have each bagged 15 wickets.

GT vs LSG: Pitch report

The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium is generally known to favor batters. The ball comes onto the bat well, making it easy for batsmen to hit boundaries. The average first innings score at this venue is around 165-170, but it can be higher in recent seasons due to batting-friendly conditions. The toss-winning captain might prefer to bat first to put runs on the board, but dew can become a factor later in the evening, making chasing easier.
