LSG vs GT 57th Match: Pitch Report
We have seen a good batting track in MCA Stadium, Pune. RR had scored 210 against the SRH in the match played on this ground of this season. There is some assistance for bowlers also in the initial period of innings.
Most of the strips are of Red soil, which gives good bounce and pace to bat on. We can't forget the whole IPL is going to play in only 4 venues so there will be some assistance for spin too in the last stage of the tournament.

Both Lucknow and Gujarat are playing the first season of IPL this year. This will be the second match between the two teams. The first match was won by GT and they are leading the head-to-head competition 1-0.
Gujarat has lost 2 consecutive matches
Gujarat Titans have been the most consistent team of this season. However, she has appeared in a bit of trouble after losing the last two matches.
In front of Punjab, Hardik won the toss and deliberately chose to bat first so that he could check the balance of his team in difficult situations. Due to the disappointing performance of GT's batsmen, PBKS chased down the target in almost 16 overs.
