They have won their previous match against Rajasthan Royals by 9 wickets.
Rajasthan Royals batted first and they were bowled out for a paltry 118 in the 18th over. The top order struggled as Jos Buttler got out to Hardik Pandya early on. Yashasvi Jaiswal also ran himself out when the situation demanded him to put a prize to his wicket. Sanju Samson smashed 30 off 20 balls but once he was dismissed, it was a downward slope for Rajasthan Royals in terms of batting. No middle or lower order batter could step up and Rajasthan Royals were bowled out for a small total of 118.
During the chase, Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill got their team off to a flier. They smashed 41 and 36 runs respectively. Hardik Pandya at number 3 looked to be in a hurry to finish the match quickly. He played a beautiful knock of 39 runs in 15 balls to finish the match in Gujarat Titans favor with 9 wickets in hand.

Lucknow Super Giants are placed at the 2nd position on points table.

The previous match Lucknow Super Giants were supposed to play against Chennai Super Kings was washed off due to rain.
However, in their previous outing, Lucknow Super Giants lost against Royal Challengers Bangalore by 18 runs.
Royal Challengers Bangalore batted first and they scored 126 for 9 in 20 overs. The pitch was really tough to bat on. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis played well but the middle order simply collapsed like a pack of cards. As a result, Royal Challengers Bangalore were restricted to a low total.
During the chase, Lucknow Super Giants lost Kyle Mayers early on. Krunal Pandya struck a few boundaries before being dismissed by Maxwell. After his dismissal, the Lucknow Super Giants kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Their skipper suffered an injury and came out to bat only at number 11. He couldn't do much and Lucknow Super Giants fell short by 18 runs.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Friday named Karun Nair as a replacement for the injured KL Rahul for the remainder of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. The loss of KL Rahul will be a big blow for LSG.
