The Gujarat Titans trounced the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 56 runs at the previous IPL 2023 game hosted by the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
After being put to bat first, GT openers Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill played two sumptuous innings.

Hardik Pandya (25 off 15) and David Miller (21* off 12) also played small cameos, which took GT's total to 227/2 - their highest-ever IPL total.
In their hunt for 228, LSG openers Quinton de Kock and Kyle Mayers also started well. They put up 88 runs in just 50 balls before an outstanding catch by Rashid Khan saw the end of Mayers (48).
The first dismissal led to a collapse for LSG, as they kept losing wickets regularly from there on. While Mohammed Shami, Rashid, and Noor Ahmed picked up one wicket each, Mohit Sharma stole the show with excellent figures of 4/29. De Kock top-scored with a well-made 70 off 41 balls but LSG could only pile up 171/7 as GT won the encounter by 56 runs.
