GT vs LSG, IPL 2023: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details

The 51st match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad when the Gujarat Titans lock horns against the Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday (May 7).

The defending champions are currently the front-runners to finish the league stage as table-toppers. With an impressive nine-wicket win over the Royals, the Titans currently stand at the top of the points table with 14 point, having won seven of their 10 games.

Rashid Khan single-handedly destroyed the batting unit of the Royals as the Afghan spinner notched three wickets as the home team got bundled for a mere 118 runs.

In reply, major contributions from Wriddhiman Saha (41*) and Hardik Pandya (39*) ensured a nine-wicket win for the defending champions with nearly six overs to spare.

Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, have received a major blow as their skipper KL Rahul is ruled out of the tournament with an injury. The team have a little time to re-work their plans as they are currently placed second in the table with 11 points, having won five of their 10 games.

The batting unit of the Super Giants is a major area of concern at the moment as they have failed to cross the 130-run mark in the previous two games. The last home game of the team against the Chennai Super Kings got washed out due to rain and both teams shared one point each.
