It can be a game of revenge for the KL Rahul-led Lucknow side. In their previous battle, Gujarat clinched a comfortable 5-wicket victory. Batting first Lucknow put up 158 on board. But the collective efforts of Rahul Tewatia, Hardik Pandya and David Miller helped the Titans reach the target with two balls to spare. However, LSG has bounced back well since the contest and become a good challenge for the rest of the franchises.

In their last match against Kolkata Knight Riders, the bowling unit stole the show for the Lucknow side. While defending a target of 177, Avesh Khan and Jason Holder put an end to the KKR innings at 101 runs, scalping three wickets each.

On the other side, Gujarat Titans fell five runs short of chasing down 178 runs against Mumbai Indians. Requiring 9 runs in the last over, David Miller could not make it past the finishing line as Daniel Sams turned out to be the saviour for Mumbai Indians.
