Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat Titans: Rajasthan to have a royal victory

Two teams who have had a similar run-through in the IPL till now and are in the top half of the table will be going head to head in the 24th game of the competition. It is to be seen which team will have the last laugh.

Narrowly clutching a victory against Lucknow Super Giants by 3 runs, Rajasthan are at the top of the IPL tree. With three wins out of four, they are looking like a team to beat in the competition. The best thing that will please Rajasthan fans will be they have won when defending a small total in the last game. They have a pretty balanced side and they are the only team to have batted first in all their games.

Having been unbeaten in the competition for quite a while, they suffered their first defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad in a high-intensity game. Gujarat will be looking to climb the table and make a statement and what will be better than defeating the current league leaders. All eyes will be on Gill who has had an extremely good season with the bat so far. It will be interesting to see how Darshan Nalkande fares out in this high-profile game.

The pitch is extremely suited for spinners who can weave the magic. With quality spinners on both sides, it will be a good contest to look out for. A score of 170+ will be a good score batting first. Expect the seamers to go out of the park more often than not if they try length bowls. We are expecting Rajasthan to win the match with the confidence and the momentum they are in. 

• Rajasthan to win for 1.87;
• Each Team To Score Over 149.5 Runs for 1.83;
• Top batsman team 2- Shubman Gill for 3.2
