The IPL season rages on, with two of the 2023 tournament's best teams set to do battle on Sunday, as the Lucknow Super Giants try to close in on the league-leading Gujarat Titans.
The Titans head into this one following a thumping nine-wicket win over the Rajasthan Royals, as they push through one of the more challenging stretches of their season.
For Lucknow, they have had two wins, two losses and a no-result in their last five games and are aiming to build some momentum before the play-offs.
Here we look at all the betting value for this match.

GT vs LSG prediction
This match has all the makings of one of the best of the IPL season, as two of 2023's top teams go head-to-head.
The Titans are bang in form, after destroying RR on Friday, while Lucknow's last match may have been ruled a no-result but LSG were in a good spot against CSK after amassing 125/7, with 59 from Ayush Badoni before the rains came.
GT, though, are well on track to defend the title they won in 2022, and we are backing them to extend their lead at the summit here.

Lucknow have been dealt a blow with their star bowler Jaydev Unadkat ruled out of the IPL season with a shoulder injury suffered during training.
Unadkat joins Giants Mohsin Khan and KL Rahul on the sidelines as the team continues to suffer mounting injuries.
GT vs LSG best bet
Such has been their form this season that it is hard to look past GT winning this one, and we expect them to make a fast start either batting first or most likely chasing a target.
With Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha at the top of their order, GT have the power and class to bat big early on and so backing them to score the most runs of either side in the first six overs makes a lot of sense.
- Pick: Gujarat Titans most powerplay runs
- Odds: 1.85 (Dafabet)
GT vs LSG outside bet
With so much at stake in this one between two play-off chasing teams there will undoubtedly be an extra edge to this match at the Narendra Modi Stadium, and that could translate into the action on the pitch.
When these two teams met back on April 22, GT won by seven runs and forced LSG into two run outs on the way to that victory.
Now we are approaching the business end of the season we think that the pressure could be a factor again here, and both teams to have a run out is a decent outside chance.
- Pick: Both teams to have a run out
- Odds: 6.50 (Dafabet)
