Shardul back for LSG as the first innings moves into the death over. The home team has recovered well after Titans’ storming opening stands. Shardul continues the good job as he delivers a 10-run over.

Jos Buttler c Thakur b Rathi 16 (14b 2×4 0x6)

Bishnoi again. Sudharsan turns one to the legside off the backfoot and comes back for a risky couple. Four!! A touch wide, Sudharsan lofts it through extra cover and finds the boundary. A touch shorter, cut past backward point, Miller does well to run across from sweeper and keep it to two.

Short again, Sudharsan pulls it through the gap between long on and midwicket and collects another boundary. Appeals for a caught behind off the last ball, but umpire says no. LSG go up in review. Looks like it has brushed the pad on the way. 
Six!! Avesh into the attack. Sudharsan pulls his first ball over deep square leg for six. Length ball on the stumps, flicked to fine leg for one. A 10-run over to end the PowerPlay.

Gill punches the first ball from Shardul through mid off for one. Short ball to Sudharsan, directs his pull downwards and picks up a single. Gill plays out two consecutive dot balls. Four!! Off pace ball outside off, Gill cuts it past short third and finds the fence. 
Akash Deep from the other end. Gill punches a length ball through cover, a good effort from the fielders prevents a boundary. Four!! Length ball on off, punched straight down the ground for four by Sudharsan. Sweet timing. Four!! Length again, punched through cover for another four. A single to cap off an expensive over. 
Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan open for Gujarat Titans. Shardul Thakur with the new ball in hand. 
Four!! Short of a length on off stump, Sudharsan guides it past point and finds the fence first ball. Sudharsan takes a single with a push to the right of the bowler. Gill takes a risky single to mid on, the fielder misses the direct hit, and he survives.

LSG wins the toss, opts to bowl first.
“We want to exploit the conditions under the sun, so we’ll bowl first. Bowlers have done a very good job. One change, Himmat Singh replaces Mitch Marsh who is attending to his ill daughter,” Rishabh Pant. 
“Would have liked to bowl first to have a target on the board and chase it down. Everyone has contributed for us. It’s all about one game after another. Washington comes in for Kulwant Khejroliya,” says Shubman Gill. 
“A little bit patchy. It has a grass cover and a shine. It is going to be a very good surface,” says Shane Watson.
“There is something for fast bowlers who will look to take the pace off the ball but overall it will be a high-scoring game,” he adds.

“I feel like I’m in good space, hitting the ball well. Getting behind the top four or five batters that have been doing really well in the competition. So just trying to fulfill my role where I can.” 
Playing in home conditions is very important for a team in the Indian Premier League, David Miller said on the eve of Lucknow Super Giants’ match against the Gujarat Titans.
Gujarat Titans all-rounder Glenn Phillips has been ruled out of the remainder of the Indian Premier League due to a groin injury, the franchise announced on Saturday.
The Kiwi all-rounder, who has returned home, “sustained a groin injury during the IPL contest against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 6,” the Titans said in a statement.
MORE DETAILS
Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants are over-reliant on their respective top orders – one by design, the other by force. When the two four-season-old teams meet in Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium on Saturday, the result could be decided by which top order outscores the other.
