Team Analysis
Kolkata Knight Riders
After Narine’s unlucky first-ball run-out, KKR hit the ground running, as Aaron Finch (58 runs) and Shreyas Iyer (85 runs) combined for a 108-run combination off 47 balls. Six hitters in the top six were dismissed for single digits, including four ducks, as the middle disintegrated miserably. Despite Umesh Yadav’s late fireworks, they were bowled out for 210 runs, falling seven runs short of their target. With 217 runs, their bowlers let up the season’s highest score. Sunil Narine was outstanding in a high-scoring match, bowling numbers of 4-0-21-1. Andre Russell and Shivam Mavi each took two wickets. This season, Varun Chakravarty and Pat Cummins have struggled to control the run flow successfully.
Top players to bet on- Shreyas Iyer, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell.
Gujarat Titans
Titans recovered from 48/4 to 87/5 in the match to chase down the target of 170 runs. Rashid Khan struck a crucial 40 runs off 21 balls in the closing overs, while David Miller smashed 94 runs off 51 balls. Hardik Pandya is likely to return to the playing XI in this match, and the batting order may change. With statistics of 4-0-20-1, Mohammed Shami was brilliant with the ball, while Rashid Khan kept the batters at bay with figures of 4-0-29-0. Alzarri Joseph took two wickets, while Yash Dayal contributed one. In the previous game, Lockie Ferguson was a touch pricey. They already have an intense bowling assault, with 3-4 pace bowling options.
Top players to bet on – Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill, Mohammed Shami.
