IPL 2022: Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals, Final – Match Prediction

Gujarat Titans will face Rajasthan Royals in the final of the Indian Premier League at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Sunday.

Both of these teams had finished the league stage at the top of the points table and deserves to be in the final of the tournament.

Gujarat have been the most consistent team in the competition and they will look to make the most of home advantage. The second qualifier pitch had a steep bounce and the conditions are expected to be the same.

Rajasthan Royals came up with a fine performance against RCB in the second qualifier as they had won convincingly by seven wickets. Prasidh Krishna and Obed McCoy were brilliant with the ball as they scalped three wickets each. Furthermore, Jos Buttler continued his dream form as he scored a scintillating knock of unbeaten 106 runs. Thus, RR will look to continue the same against GT.

On the other hand, Gujarat Titans will look to replicate their success against Rajasthan Royals. GT had beaten RR in the first qualifier and also in the league stage and they will look to be at their best in the all-important final.

Hardik Pandya has led the team from the front whereas David Miller was simply outstanding in the last match against RR as he had scored an unbeaten knock of 66 runs.

It is expected to be a thrilling contest between the top two teams and it will be interesting to note which will come out on top in the end.
