MATCH PREVIEW     

We are heading into the final phase of the league games in the Indian Premier League 2025. While some teams have put themselves in a strong position, others are playing catchup. It is a do-or-die game for the Rajasthan Royals as they face the Gujarat Titans in the 47th game. The Rajasthan Royals lost to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and it is their last chance to win and keep hopes alive for the playoffs. The Gujarat Titans defeated the Knight Riders in the last game and sit at the top of the points table. They will start this game with higher odds, and we will keenly watch if the Rajasthan Royals can cause a major upset in this game and improve their position on the points table.  

Rajasthan Royals Preview      

Riyan Parag and his men will face the heat in this game. Parag, the stand-in skipper instead of the injured Sanju Samson, must lead from the front to revive his team's chances. They went down by 11 runs against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last game. The odds have fallen from them on cricket betting apps. It will be a tough test for the side, and they need the bowling attack to deliver the goods.  

Yashasvi Jaiswal is the key batsman in the side, and he must deliver a good start with Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The middle order is struggling, and the team expects partnerships between Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag, and Dhruv Jurel. They are up against a strong bowling attack and must get their acts together. Shimron Hetmyer is a good finisher, and the team expects him to add quick runs in the lower middle order with Shubham Dubey.  

The bowling attack has struggled in most games this season. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Jofra Archer must get early breakthroughs as Gujarat Titans' Top 3 have been in good form. Tushar Deshpande and Sandeep Sharma must do well in the middle overs and apply brakes on the scoring rate. The team expects a good show in the supporting role from Wanindu Hasaranga and Riyan Parag in the supporting role.  

Expected Starting XI for Rajasthan Royals      

Riyan Parag (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubham Dubey, Nitish Rana, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande, Vaibhav Suryavanshi (Impact Player)   

Gujarat Titans Preview     

Shubman Gill's team has built a clear lead over other teams. They defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders by 39 runs in the last game and have made it to the top of the points table. The batting lineup is in good form, and the team has become a favorite on cricket betting sites. They have defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last four out of five games, and the team will look to extend this lead with another good performance.   

Sai Sudharsan has made 417 runs this season and will look to deliver a good start with Shubman Gill, who made 90 runs in the last game. Jos Buttler has played well at No. 3, and the team wants him to build partnerships with Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford. Rahul Tewatia, Washington Sundar, and Rashid Khan are powerful hitters and add firepower to the team's batting.  

Mohammad Siraj and Ishant Sharma must strike with the new ball, as the Rajasthan Royals have good hitters at the top. Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan bowled brilliantly in the last game, and the team will want them to trouble the batters in the middle of the game. Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore and Washington Sundar complete a strong bowling attack for the team.  

Expected Starting XI for Gujarat Titans     

Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia, Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, Ishant Sharma (Impact Player) 

TOSS: To Bowl First      

The wicket looked slower in the last game played at this venue. Batsmen will struggle to strike the ball, and they have to play with caution. Setting up a total isn't an easy task in such situations. The side winning the toss would like to take advantage of the conditions by bowling first in this game.  

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

We expect a warm evening, and the conditions will be challenging for the players. The wicket is two-paced, and the ball doesn't come onto the bat nicely. Spinners will enjoy bowling on this surface as the ball would stop on the batsmen. A score of 180 runs would be a challenging total at this venue.  

OUR PREDICTION      

The Rajasthan Royals have a last shot at keeping their hopes alive for the playoffs. The bowling attack has let the team down in most games, and they must execute their plans perfectly. The Gujarat Titans have ticked all the boxes in the last game and have a strong batting lineup. Based on the current form of the two teams, we expect the Gujarat Titans to start favorites in this game.  

Our prediction is for Gujarat Titans to win
