- Time – 7:30 PM IST
- Venue – Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
GT v LSG: Match Preview:
Shubman Gill will be the key batter for Gujarat in this season, but watch out for Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who can smack the bowlers all around the park. Hardik Pandya's presence in the middle order will be crucial.
Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan can add value with the bat and also lead the spin department. Mohammad Shami and Lockie Ferguson will be the pace leaders.
Lucknow has a power-packed top three that is likely to include KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock, and Evin Lewis. However, after that, the batting looks a bit fragile. Krunal Pandya's role will be crucial.
Avesh Khan will hope to continue with where he left last season and will have Dushmantha Chameera with him. Either Mohsin Khan or Mayank Yadav is likely to be the third pacer. Ravi Bishnoi will be the key bowler for LSG.
