3.24The first game of the 2022 Indian Premier League Play-Offs sees Gujarat Titans take on Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 1 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Tuesday evening. Gujarat Titans finished top of the group stage with ten wins from 14 games. Rajasthan Royals won nine fixtures and ended in second. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at 19:30 local time.
Gujarat Titans were well beaten by 8 wickets by Royal Challengers Bangalore in their last group stage fixture. However, they have already got a victory over Rajasthan Royals this season and will rate their chances.
Rajasthan Royals had a stutter in their form a few games ago but their win over Chennai Super Kings on Friday was their third in four matches. They will feel they have the momentum with them coming into this fixture.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Star Sports in India, Sky Cricket in the UK and Fox Sport in Australia. Flow Sports will broadcast in the Caribbean with SuperSport possessing the rights in South Africa
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar and SkyGo.
Historically, the teams chasing have won more games than the teams batting first at Eden Gardens. However, this is the first game at the venue in the 2022 IPL. We expect both skippers to choose to field first.
The last high level T20 games to be played on this pitch were the three IT20s between India and West Indies earlier this year. Bowlers were generally on top and we expect a par score to be between 175-185.
Humid and overcast conditions with a chance of a thunderstorm throughout the match. Highs of 31 degrees.

Although the Titans had already confirmed their place in the Play-offs, they made only one change to their XI ahead of their final group stage game against RCB. West Indies’ Alzarri Joseph was left out with New Zealand’s Lockie Ferguson coming in. Ferguson was expensive and we expect Joseph to return to the side for this match.
Gujarat Titans were denied the chance to record their third successive victory in their defeat to RCB at the Wankhede Stadium. However, they still come into this game after winning two of their last three.
Wriddhiman Saha, Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya (c), David Miller, Matthew Wade (wk), Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Alzarri Joseph, Mohammed Shami, Yash Dayal
There was one change to the Rajasthan Royals XI ahead of their final group stage match against CSK at the Brabourne Stadium on Friday. In came West Indian Shimron Hetmyer, who had missed a few games to attend the birth of his child, with New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham making way.
Rajasthan Royals had not won successive games since their eighth fixture of the tournament but recorded back-to-back victories to end the group stage.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c) (wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, Obed McCoy
The only previous meeting between the sides came in Match 24 at the DY Patil Stadium in mid-April. Gujarat Titans ran out as winners by 37 runs with Hardik Pandya striking 87 not out.

Gujarat Titans are narrow favorites for this Play-off fixture according to bookmakers. However, Rajasthan Royals come into the game in better form and they are by no means a long shot, we predict them to win the Qualifier and become the first team to reach IPL 2022 finals.
Rajasthan Royals warmed up for this clash with a 5-wicket win over already eliminated CSK whereas Gujarat Titans were beaten by RCB who needed to win to make the play-offs. Both teams are match ready for this clash.
We have the first, ninth and 13th highest run scorers in the 2022 IPL on display in this game. Expect Jos Buttler, Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill to all contribute in this match.
Shubman Gill, Wriddhiman Saha and Hardik Pandya are our batting recommendations for Gujarat Titans. Gill has struck over 400 IPL runs in each of his last three seasons. Pandya is averaging 41.30 across this campaign and has already scored his highest total of IPL runs in one season.
Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson are our batting tips for Rajasthan Royals. Buttler has hit three centuries and three half-centuries in this tournament. Samson is 58 runs away from bringing up 3500 IPL runs across his career.
For Gujarat Titans, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Shami and Alzarri Joseph are our bowling tips. Khan has taken at least 17 wickets in each of his six IPL campaigns so far since 2017. Shami has been in excellent form, taking 18 wickets so far this year and needs three more to bring up 100 IPL dismissals.
For Rajasthan Royals, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult and Obed McCoy are our bowling tips. Boult has 13 wickets in the 2022 IPL and dismissed Ruturaj Gaikwad in his first over in the win over CSK. McCoy has taken 2 wickets in each of his last two appearances.
Both teams know that defeat in this game does not end their competition but a win will book their place in the final. With plenty riding on the result, we expect the big name players to make their mark on this match. We predict that one big individual innings will win the game and we fancy Rajasthan Royals to get the victory.
Rajasthan Royals are favorites to beat Gujarat Titans at the odds of 2.05
