Thus, it is safe to say that this match shall see two of the best teams of this edition so far battle it out. Having said that, the Hardik Pandya-led side have lost two consecutive games. As a matter of fact, their recent defeat to Mumbai saw them dominate most part of the game, only to falter towards the end. A loss over here and Gujarat would start to worry as it isn't ideal for them to have a losing streak towards the end of the league stage.

On the other hand, Lucknow have been superb of late. They are clicking as a unit, and seem to have almost all their basis covered. Besides, the Lucknow-based franchise have won their last four games, and have looked like a force to reckon with. The form of their youngster Mohsin Khan comes as a huge positive for them. Moreover, Dushmantha Chameera has been superb as well.

However, the Gujarat-based franchise defeated them during their previous encounter. Whichever team wins on Tuesday further solidifies their chances of finishing at the top and thus, get to feature in the Qualifier 1. Thus, this game promises to be an absolute cracker of a contest.
