GT vs RR: Match Details

• Date – Sunday, May 29, 2022
• Time – 8:00 PM IST
• Venue – Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad

GT vs RR Match Preview:

Gujarat's batting has several players making an equal impact to put on a score. They aren't dependent on one or two batters to score runs. Wriddhiman Saha has given good starts so far this season, and how he bats in the powerplay will be key. Either Shubman Gill or Hardik Pandya is expected to bat long. Watch out for David Miller in this game. 

It is the Titans' bowling that has been the most impressive. In Mohammad Shami, GT have a proper new ball bowler; Rashid Khan is one of the toughest to hit in the middle overs; Yash Dayal has been picking wickets in every game. 

Jos Buttler is the backbone of Rajasthan's batting. He is needed to play long inning while the rest of the batters support him. So far, this strategy has worked wonders for RR. Buttler is in great form and the rest of the batters like Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, and Shimron Hetmyer have played brilliantly around him. 

The conditions will suit a bowler like Prasidh Krishna. The pitch is expected to carry a good bounce, and Krishna could be the game-changer. The big boundaries will always keep the spinners interested, especially Yuzvendra Chahal. 

Today's Match Prediction: Who Will Win Today's IPL Match? GT vs RR 

It will be a closely fought battle between the two finalists. Both GT and RR have their strengths and weaknesses, but Rajasthan will start as slight favorites in this game. 

Pitch Report - GT vs RR 

Although the Final will be played on a fresh pitch, don't expect a high-scoring game. In the last match, spinners didn't have much of an impact. The team winning the toss is expected to bowl first since it is better to have a target on the scoreboard to chase and the conditions are likely to be better in the 2nd inning.

The two teams have met each other twice this season, including Qualifier 1, and Gujarat Titans defeated Rajasthan Royals on both occasions.
