Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will host Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 21st match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday, April 7. Led by KL Rahul, LSG will be high on confidence after beating Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by 28 runs in their previous game.

Having registered two wins and one loss, LSG are currently placed fourth in the IPL 2024 standings with four points.

On the other hand, last season's finalist Gujarat Titans will aim to bounce back after suffering a three-wicket defeat against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their last match.
