IPL 2022, GT vs LSG Highlights: Gujarat Titans beat Lucknow Super Giants by 5 wickets

Lucknow have done really well to get to this total after they were languishing in the abyss and they have Hooda and Badoni to thank for it. Hooda played a gem of a knock and then Badoni played a knock to remember for a long time. The knocks from Hooda and Badoni will definitely reignite hopes in their camp and would be happy with this total. Gujarat meanwhile were unstoppable at the start but lost their way later. They would still feel it's a total in their range and would fancy their chances here.
