If Sanju Samson’s side defeat GT tonight, they will directly move to the top with 12 points whereas if Hardik Pandya and Co manages to secure a win at Rajasthan’s home ground, they will be one step closer to qualify for the play offs
Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans will be up against Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals for the second time in IPL 2023. The match will start at 7:30 pm in the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday (May 5). In their previous clash Gujarat had to face a home defeat by Rajasthan at the Narendra Modi Stadium where Skipper Sanju Samson (60 off 32) and Shimron Hytmyers (56 off 26) helped his team register 3 wickets win over the defending champion. Batting first, GT posted a total of 177 runs with the help of Shubman Gill’s 45 off 34 and David Miller’s 46 off 30 but failed to defend it as RR chased down the target in the last over with 4 balls left.
But a lot has changed after that match as Gujarat Titans are currently at the top of the points table with 6 wins in 9 matches. However, Rajasthan Royals have won 5 out of 9 games and placed at 4th position. If Sanju Samson’s side defeat GT tonight then they will directly move to the top with 12 points whereas if Hardik Pandya and Co manages to secure a win at Rajasthan’s home ground, they will be one step closer to qualify for the play offs. Being last year's finalist, both teams are equally strong and are favorites to lift the trophy.
