Match 24 of IPL 2022 will see Rajasthan Royals (RR) lock horns with Gujarat Titans (GT) on April 14 (Thursday) at the DY Patil Sports Academy. Both RR and GT have had an identical tournament so far, having won three out of four matches. The winner of this game will go to the top of the points table.
Hardik Pandya and Co. will come from the back of a defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). One aspect that has hurt GT has been their opening stand which hasn’t survived a powerplay so far. Matthew Wade is likely to make way for Rahmanullah Gurbaz after a series of failures.

Bowling in the powerplay has been their forte in IPL 2022 with Mohammed Shami, Hardik and Lockie Ferguson providing early breakthroughs. GT have picked up nine wickets at 17.00 in the first six overs.
Bowling has also been a strong suit for Rajasthan Royals in this competition. They have one of the strongest units with Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna doing with the new ball while Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal have dominated the middle overs. It is likely to be a clash of the bowlers at the DY Patil Sports Academy later tonight.
