LSG vs GT: Strategies and Match-ups
One common strength between LSG and GT is that both sides heavily rely on their top order to score a bulk of their runs. The Gujarat-based side, however, does have a strong bowling unit, consisting of the likes of Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna. The Super Giants, meanwhile, have an inexperienced bowling department, but have performed well in recent games.
Both LSG and GT were established ahead of the start of the 2022 season. With these two sides being relatively new in the IPL, they have faced one another on just seven occasions. GT do lead the head-to-head record by four wins to three. LSG, however, have won the last three meetings.
