GT vs LSG IPL 2023 Highlights: Gujarat Titans defeat Lucknow Super Giants by 56 runs

And Gujarat Titans have won this game by 56 runs. What a clinical performance by Hardik's team. And they have pocketed 16 points

And this is a body blow for LSG. Quinton de Kock has been bowled. This shall be the game

Another one departs and LSG are now facing issues. This was a slower one from Mohit Sharma, Stoinis looked to slog it towards the leg side but gets beaten by the pace and is caught

And LSG have become slow in the middle phase. They got a good start but could not keep up with the momentum. QDK is still at the crease and is well set. Stoinis is a power hitter too but they need to go big now.

And Hooda's struggle on the crease comes to an end. A run-a-ball 11 for him.

Quinton de Kock has hit a 31-ball fifty in his first apperance of the season. This is some strong return

Lucknow are going well at the moment. They have made 102/1 in the first 10 overs. De Kock is along with Hooda on the crease and is closing in on a fifty now. Can he keep the momentum going?

Mayers 48 (32) gets dismissed as Rashid Khan takes a brilliant catch.

Well, LSG have made a strong start as well. They have made 50 runs in the first 4 overs. De Kock has hit 17 off 7 and Mayers has made 29 off 17. Meanwhile, Hardik makes a bold move. Rashid Khan has come in the 5th.

GT openers Quinton de Kock and Kyle Mayers are in the middle. There was some confusion over whether KS Bharat can keep wickets in place of Saha. The umpires are not allowing it. Saha walks out with the gloves. Here we go, Shami to start

GT have amassed a masive score of 227/2 in 20 overs. This was well powered by Shubman Gill and Saha. Gill smashed 94 and remained unbeaten, while Saha made 81. This is the fourth highest total of the season and GT's highest ever. Their openers were on song and Pandya and Miller chipped in a bit as well. So LSG need a big total of 228 to chase this one.

GT have crossed 200 now in the 18th over. They are at 202/2 after 18 overs. Gill is nearing his hundred, while Miller is looking to break the shackles

Mohsin gets his first of the day and he has got the wicket of Hardik Pandya. Hardik hammered it towards extra cover, where his brother was positioned and he takes that with his safe hands. He seemed to be in pain after the catch. Miller now comes in

GT have gone past the 150-run mark inside the 14 overs. They might have slowed a bit but will take no time to fire back. And Pandya hits one six towards wide long-off

And Wriddhiman Saha has to walk back after that wonderful knock of 81 off just 43 balls.

A 29-ball fifty for Shubman Gill now. He is complementing Gill's assault well. Gill has hit 4 sixes in his innings so far and has not hit a four yet. GT are going very well at the moment. It looks a big score will be registered today.

This is GT's highest opening partnership. The previous best was 106, by the same pair in 2022 against MI.

Saha's 54 is joint-highest score by any batter in powerplay this season. 

GT have crossed the 100-run mark in the 9th over itself. This is a blasting start. Lucknow is under some serious pressure and are looking for wickets urgently.

This is some serious start by GT. Saha is in killer mood and Gill is also looking to join him in this carnage. They are toying with the LSG bowlers. GT 78/0 after 6

It's a 20-ball fifty for the veteran GT star. His 1st in IPL 2023 and his 12th overall. He is in deadly mood today. He has smashed 4 sixes and 6 fours already and is striking around 250. LSG bowlers have having a nightmare.

Wriddhiman Saha has make a fiery start and is going all guns blazing. He has made 46 runs off just 19 balls. He has hit 22 runs in Mohsin's over
