THE LOWDOWN
GUJARAT TITANS
- In Gujarat Titans’ first season as an IPL franchise, they head into the play-offs as league leaders, winning ten of their 14 matches played with the best net-run-rate of all the competing teams.
- Hardik Pandya has led his side superbly and their bowling attack is among the best in the competition, but their top order can be vulnerable and will likely be targeted by their opponents here.
RAJASTHAN ROYALS
- Rajasthan Royals were seen by many as one to watch this year after an excellent mega auction which saw them conduct some excellent business and Sanju Samson’s men have not disappointed, winning nine of their 14 games to finish second-place in the league table.
- Key for the Royals has been the performance of their gun players across the tournament with opener Jos Buttler leading the scoring charts with a whopping 629 runs, whilst spin-bowler Yuzvendra Chahal’s 26 scalps see him lead the way when it comes to taking wickets.
THE PREDICTION
The powerplay will be absolutely key to this contest with early wickets so important on both sides. Gujarat have shown that they can struggle if their top order is prized out early on, whilst Rajasthan simply cannot afford to lose Buttler for a low score such has been his form across the tournament. Each boasts an outstanding bowling unit and this encounter is expected to be defined by which batting line-up can hold their nerve against such quality bowling opposition. With that in mind, back the proven track record of Gujarat Titans’ middle order finishers to play a massive part once again in this match and help lead the league leaders to victory.
