The Qualifier 1 match of IPL 2022 between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals will be played on Tuesday, 24 May 2022 at The Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The match will start at 07:30 PM local time.

GT had been just superb in IPL 2022 but they were not good in the previous match against RCB. The batting order of Gujarat is very strong and experienced and had played the main role in each and every win. W Saha and Shubman Gill are opening the batting inning for GT. The middle and lower batting order of Gujarat is also strong and experienced. Mathew Wade, Hardik Pandya, and David Miller are handling the middle batting order while Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan are also available to take care of the lower batting order. They could manage to score 168 runs in 20 overs in the previous match against Bangalore. GT has good news as Hardik Pandya is back to good form and he was the highest run-scorer in the previous match with 62 runs on 47 balls with the help of four boundaries and three huge sixes. He remained not out till the 20th over. David Miller also performed well with the bat and scored 34 runs on 25 balls. He smashed three huge sixes during his inning. W Saha was the other batter who was good with the bat. He scored 31 runs on 22 balls and smashed four boundaries and one huge six.

RR is coming to this match on the back of a massive win over CSK in the most recent match with a handsome margin. The bowling department of Rajasthan had been good in IPL 2022. Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna are leading the bowling department with Ravi Ashwin, Chahal, and Obed McCoy. They were outstanding in the previous match where they leaked just 150 runs in 20 overs. Obed McCoy was the most successful bowler with two wickets to his name in four overs against just 20 runs. Yuzvendra Chahal also picked two wickets while he was charged for 26 runs in four overs. Ravi Ashwin was another bowler who was good with the ball. He picked one wicket in four overs against 28 runs. Trent Boult also picked one wicket but he leaked a lot of runs. He was charged for 44 runs in four overs. Prasidh Krishna was the only bowler who could not manage to pick any wicket. The bowling department of Rajasthan is performing well and we are sure that they will play a major role in this match.
