LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS (LSG) Analysis:

LSG will be highly motivated after their win against RR by 10 runs. Kyle Mayers is in great form and his consistency makes his place ahead of de Kock. KL Rahul started scoring in the last two matches but his inning was a little bit slower. Deepak Hooda still has to improve his batting. He is yet to perform. Nicholas Pooran and Marcus Stoinis proved their worth and they provided a great amount of runs in the middle and death overs.
Spin duo of Amit Mishra and Ravi Bishnoi control the run flow of their opposition through their tight spells. Avesh Khan was also seen in flow against RR and grabbing 3 wickets. Krunal Pandya’s performance in this season is going just average. He needs to step up in both batting and bowling.
GUJARAT TITANS (GT) Analysis:

GT lost against RR put them in 4th spot. Shubman Gill is going good from the start and providing solid runs to the team. Hardik Pandya still didn’t show his destructive form till now. GT must be eagerly waiting for his blasting inning. Sai Sudharsan the youngster shows a lot of potential in his batting depth. David Miller continuously showed his blasting batting in the death overs.
Main thing that GT might be worried about is that their bowlers were unable to defend the totals. Shami is trying to break through early on and he is claiming wickets in most of the matches. Next to him Rashid Khan also showed his wicket taking ability along with some good economical spells. Except these two rest bowlers couldnt provide any pressure to the opposition team. Ashish Nehra, bowling coach, should be monitoring the bowlers closely.
