Venue | Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur |
Rajasthan Royals will host Gujarat Titans in a mouth-watering clash in Jaipur. Titans are placed at the helm of the points table with six wins in nine games while the Royals have five wins in nine matches. However, the last outing was great for both teams.
The Hardik Pandya-led side lost to Delhi Capitals in the last game after they messed up an easy run chase while Rajasthan Royals were defeated by Mumbai Indians by 6 wickets. Both teams will be eyeing a win to strengthen their position in the table as teams like Mumbai Indians have started finding form and they could also be in contention for the playoffs now.
The wicket will be a good one to bat and dew could make the conditions even better in the second innings. Pacers with the new ball can get some movement and spinners can also get some turn in the latter half of innings. But overall, if the batter is set, run-scoring will be easy.
Fortunately, rain is likely to stay away from the match in Jaipur. The temperature will hover around 30 degrees.

Both teams are playing good cricket and changes are unlikely for both teams given that the impact player rule has allowed the teams to stick with the same team and use the sub as per the match situation.
The Hardik Pandya-led side has dominated Rajasthan Royals since being inducted into IPL. GT have won three of the four matches played against Rajasthan Royals.

All-rounders | R Ashwin, Hardik Pandya |
Bowlers | Yuzi Chahal, Trent Boult, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Shami |
Shubman Gill has blown hot and cold in the tournament and Gujarat Titans will need him to find consistency soon. Gill has scored 339 runs so far and if he can be consistent at the top in matches to come, GT will be in a great position to defend their title.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is in red hot form in IPL 2023. He is RR's leading run scorer with 428 runs. Jaiswal will be over the moon after scoring the maiden IPL century in the last game against Mumbai Indians.
Jos Buttler has run out of gas in the last few games but he is one player who can never be counted out. If Buttler picks up momentum in the second half of the tournament, RR will be a strong contender for the title.
Trent Boult has been brilliant for RR with the new ball. Boult has picked wickets early in the match, giving his team a massive advantage. Boult has bowled two double wicket maidens in IPL this season.
Mohammed Shami is breathing fire for GT this season. Shami is the current holder of the Purple Cap with 17 wickets in just nine matches. He has been unplayable at times this season.
