LSG Playing 11 for Gujarat Titans vs Lucknow Super Giants, Match 51 of IPL 2023; Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips for GT vs LSG Dream11 Team Prediction

The race to the playoffs in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) is heating up as the Lucknow Super Giants get ready to face off against the defending champions, the Gujarat Titans, in what promises to be a high-stakes encounter on Sunday, May 7 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Despite being one of the strongest teams on paper, the Lucknow-based franchise has had a rather inconsistent run this season, losing three out of their last five completed games. Their most recent match against Chennai Super Kings was abandoned due to rain, forcing them to settle for a share of points. With just four games left in the league stage, they will be looking to cement their place in the top-4 with a win against the Titans.

However, the Super Giants have been dealt a major blow ahead of this crucial contest as their star batsman KL Rahul has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to an injury. This puts even more pressure on the already struggling batting line-up, especially on Kyle Mayers, who will be expected to carry the burden of scoring runs. Manan Vohra is likely to partner with Mayers at the top of the order.

On the bowling front, young spinner Ravi Bishnoi has been the standout performer for the team so far with 12 wickets to his name. He has received good support from veteran Amit Mishra. However, the seam attack appears to be a weak link for the Super Giants with only Naveen ul-Haq making an impact, while Marcus Stoinis and Yash Thakur have struggled to get going.
