This Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals prediction preview looks ahead to the IPL group match played in India. The Titans have been in superb form and looked to be strong contenders for the title, but after losing to the Knight Riders by 29 runs and falling two matches later to the Royal Challengers by a hefty 92 runs, their confidence will have taken a knock.

Team News

Gujarat Titans: The Titans’ top order has been superbly consistent this season, but it’s their fiery bowling trio of Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj and Rashid Khan who they hope will give them the upper hand by knocking over the dangerous Royals top order. If they don’t make early inroads they can expect their opponents to rack up another huge score.

Possible XI: Sai Sudarshan, Shubman Gill (c), Jos Buttler, Nishant Sindhu, Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Kulwant Khejroliya.

Rajasthan Royals: The Royals have the leading run-scorer (Vaibhav Sooryavanshi) and the 11th top run-scorer (Dhruv Jurel), and with batting support from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag and Donovan Ferreira they will be hard to beat if they get off to another flying start.

Possible XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag (c), Donovan Ferreira, Dasun Shanaka, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Brijesh Sharma, Yash Raj Punja.

Key Stats

Gujarat Titans’ Sai Sudharsan has scored 55, 61, 63* & 84 in his last 5 matches.
Gujarat Titans’ Shubman Gill has hit 84, 85 & 64 in his last 5 matches.
Gujarat Titans’ Kagiso Rabada has taken 2/33, 3/28, 3/32 & 2/54 in his last 5 matches.
Rajasthan Royals’ Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is 1st in the IPL strike rates with 680 runs at 242.86/100 balls.
Rajasthan Royals’ Dhruv Jurel has scored 53, 53*, 38 & 50 in his last 4 knocks.
Rajasthan Royals’ Jofra Archer has taken 2/35, 3/17 & 3/58 in his last 4 matches.

Match Analysis

The Royals have won all of their previous matches at this stadium and they enjoyed a powerful 47-run win over the Sunrisers two days ago at the stadium in New Chandigarh after posting a monster score of 243/8 off their 20 overs. The Sunrisers could only manage 196 all out off 19.2 overs after their reliable top-order fell in pursuit of a quick start to try and match the Royals’ score in what was a knock-out clash.

The pitch at Mullanpur should again offer something for batters and bowlers, as there is sure to be consistent pace and bounce for the bowlers and with some early movement off the seam, but at the ball loses shine and some shape it should serve up a runs feast.

Both sides have powerful pacemen who will look to roll over the opposition’s top four, all of whom have been in the runs. Sides are averaging a phenomenal 215 runs in the first innings this season in New Chandigarh, so we should be in for another batting bonanza.

Weather reports for the day suggest that we’ll be in for another hot and sunny day with temperatures hitting as high as 40°C before dipping down to around 28°C late in the day. Some cloud is expected and possibly even a few brief showers leading up to the match.

Betting Markets to Watch

Result

This could be the match to back ending in a Super Over, but it’s not a great retirement plan, so backing the Royals should pay off as they are coming into the match on the back of three big wins.

Best Rajasthan Royals Batter

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is in red-hot form with scores of 103, 43, 36, 46, 93 and 97 in his last eight innings and is the leading runscorer in this year’s IPL.

Score Over/Under Runs

Dhruv Jurel is batting with great consistency and is 11th in the IPL runs list. He has scored 38 or more in six of his last eight innings.

Take Over/Under Wickets

The Titans’ Kagiso Rabada is joint top of the wickets list (26 wickets) while the Royals’ Jofra Archer is in third spot (24 wickets). Both are sound bets to take two wickets or more in the match, but I’m backing KG as his odds offer the bigger payout.

Verdict

Gujarat Titans v Rajasthan Royals

The Rajasthan Royals are backed to win, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi likely to be the Royals’ best batter.

Dhruv Jurel is my pick to score 30 runs or more, with Kagiso Rabada backed to take two wickets or more in the match.
