The pitch at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow has supported the bowlers so far this season. In the last five T20 games at this venue, the average first innings score has been 126 runs. It will likely be a close contest.
Shubman Gill : With 228 runs to his name in five outings, Shubman Gill is the leading run scorer for the reigning champions in IPL 2023 so far. The stylish opener is in scintillating form since the turn of the year and is showing no signs of slowing down either. The young Indian star will be hoping to climb up the scoring charts in the upcoming fixture.
Rashid Khan : The star Afghan spinner took a bit of punishment in the previous outing against Rajasthan Royals when Sanju Samson smashed him for a hat-trick of sixes in an over. However, he has scalped 11 wickets in the tournament so far, the second most behind RCB's Mohammed Siraj. He would be hoping to get back to his usual best in the upcoming match.
Top Wicketkeeper Pick: Nicholas Pooran (6 matches, 170 runs, SR: 200.00) Nicholas Pooran has been the standout middle-order batter for the Super Giants this season. He has 170 runs in six matches at a strike rate of 200. With Pooran showing confidence against both pace and spin, he is a top pick for your LSG vs GT Dream11 prediction team.
Top All-rounder Pick: Krunal Pandya (6 matches, 80 runs, 4 wickets) Krunal Pandya has shown glimpses of form this season, picking up four wickets and scoring 80 runs. Krunal's best performance of the season came in Lucknow a few weeks back, where he picked up three wickets against SunRisers Hyderabad. With Krunal likely to play a big role with bat and ball, he is a fine pick for your LSG vs GT Dream11 prediction team.
