Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on a confident Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday, April 28. As things stand, the two teams are battling at opposite ends of the points table. RR, with the joint-fewest wins this season, are desperate to avoid finishing last, while GT, with the second-most victories, are pushing for a top-two finish heading into the playoffs.
GT head into this match with form and momentum on their side. They will be keen to maintain their unbeaten record at the Jaipur venue and avoid any slip-ups that could complicate their path to the top of the table.
Meanwhile, RR find themselves in a disappointing position largely due to their inability to close out games they were well-placed to win. Failing to finish matches with the bat has been a recurring issue and sums up their underwhelming campaign so far.
Pitch Report
Scoring runs hasn’t been easy at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, ensuring a fair contest between bat and ball. The large outfield works in the bowlers’ favour, and a total between 170 and 190 could prove highly competitive once again.
Head-to-Head
Gujarat Titans have enjoyed a dominant record against the Royals, winning six of their seven meetings, including both previous encounters in Jaipur.
Weather Forecast
Despite the evening start, conditions in Jaipur are expected to remain hot and humid, with no threat of rain interrupting the game.
Match Prediction
Based on current form, Gujarat Titans will head into the match as strong favourites and are likely to extend their dominance over Rajasthan Royals.
