The Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans have been a bit inconsistent this year. Nevertheless, they have played some excellent cricket and we expect a close contest between them. Rajasthan has a well-balanced squad with some talented domestic batsmen and a well-balanced bowling unit. The Gujarat Titans have a relatively young side but there are plenty of matchwinners in their squad. They will fight it out in a mid-week clash as both teams look to reinforce their place in the top four.

There are no injuries to report from either side.
The Narendra Modi Stadium has been high-scoring venue and we can expect plenty of runs. The previous game at this venue was played on black soil and if that is the case for this match as well, the seamers can expect some help. The surface could be a bit two-paced and the batsmen will need to be careful as the ball gets older.
The weather will be warm and dry, and the dew might not be a big factor.
Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler have both played well for their team and are automatic picks in our team.
As the pitch in Ahmedabad has been good to bat on, we would recommend to pick plenty of batsmen. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Sherfane Rutherford are all in great touch.
We have two experienced all-rounders in Riyan Parag and Wanindu Hasaranga for our team, who also double up as spinners.
We would advise you to pick up quality seamers here. Jofra Archer and Mohammed Siraj have both bowled well in past games.
We are picking Jos Buttler as the captain of our team. He has been a consistent performer with the bat and can also play the big shots with ease. Given his record in recent games, Buttler is the perfect choice for the top post.
We reckon that Mohammed Siraj has bowled well in this tournament, picking up important wickets with the new ball. He also has a good economy rate and as he returns on home turf, Siraj could play an important role with the ball.
The Narendra Modi Stadium usually throws up high-scoring games and this could be no different. There are plenty of in-form batsmen in both teams and there should be no problem picking up a solid top and middle order. The tricky part is picking up the bowlers. The seamers have enjoyed more success compared to the slower bowlers and we have therefore kept our bowling unit seam-heavy.
Sai Sudharsan has 409 points in the last 5 matches at an average of 81 points per game.
Sai Sudharsan (191), Jos Buttler (166), Shubman Gill (146)
Mohammed Siraj (9), Sai Kishore (8), Wanindu Hasaranga (6)
Jos Buttler (9), Sherfane Rutherford (9), Riyan Parag (8)
Nitish Rana (186.66), Sherfane Rutherford (176.71), Washington Sundar (168.96)
Riyan Parag (6.25), Sai Kishore (7.06), Prasidh Krishna (7.33)
