Mumbai, March 27: The Indian Premier League newcomers Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants will open their IPL 2022 campaign with a clash against each other at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday (March 28).

GT, who had an average auction, will be led by Hardik Pandya, while KL Rahul will lead LSG, who had a decent auction compared to their counterparts.

GT used the player draft ahead of the auction to retain the likes of Hardik, Rashid Khan and Shubman Gill, while LSG chose Rahul, Ravi Bishnoi and Marcus Stoinis.

During the mega auction, GT started well, but ended up loading their bowling department with the addition of Mohammed Shami and Lockie Ferguson among others. LSG, meanwhile, assembled a balanced squad with addition of overseas stars like Jason Holder and Quinton de Kock.

However, the two teams like the other 8 teams in the IPL 2022, will miss some of their overseas stars, who are away on international duty or just returned from national team commitments.

GT, who were dealt a blow earlier when Jason Roy pulled out of the tournament, will only miss Alzarri Joseph and have the rest of squad available to pick their 11 from. They also replaced Roy with Rahmanullah Gurbaz.

On the other hand, LSG, who were also dealt a blow after injured Mark Wood was forced to withdraw, will be without Kyle Mayers, Jason Holder and Marcus Stoinis. LSG replaced Wood with Andrew Tye.

So, now let's take a look at the squads, possible playing 11s, dream11 fantasy picks and match prediction for GT vs LSG 2022:

GT vs LSG Match Prediction

Lucknow Super Giants look strong on paper, but the bowling line up of Gujarat Titans could tilt the tie in Hardik Pandya's side's way. But with this being the first outing of both teams, the game could be decided by the best team on the day.

The match is set to be played at the Wankhede Stadium, where we saw a low-scoring match between CSK and KKR dominated by some quick bowlers in the first innings, but with dew also setting in early, the chasing team will have an advantage in the match.
