Team winner Prediction:
Key Points:
- The Royals are coming into this match on the back of a couple of crunch wins and that should act as a huge confidence booster
- The likes of Jos Buttler, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravi Ashwin, and Yuzvendra Chahal have truck-loads of experience behind them and should be able to better handle pressure than their Titans’ counterparts
- Gujarat Titans have a bit fragile batting lineup that might struggle on a new surface of Eden Gardens, Kolkata
GT vs RR Analysis:
Not many would have imagined both of the two new teams to qualify for the playoffs before the tournament started. Here we have it though, Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants have both made it to the playoffs and have certainly gained a lot of new fans respectively. They would not want to stop here and their eyes will be all set on a title finish.
Finishing at the top spot on the points table and becoming the first team to qualify, Gujarat Titans have had a fantastic season and will not want to bottle it when it matters the most. They will be taking on Rajasthan Royals in the first qualifier of the season in what will be a chance to reserve a seat in the grand finale first-up. The Royals too have played excellent Cricket of late and will not be an easy side to deal with.

Match Details:
Qualifier 1- GT vs RR
Date: 24 May, 2022
Time: 07:30 PM (IST)
Venue: Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India
Live Streaming: Disney+ Hotstar
TV: Star Sports Network
Pitch and Weather Conditions:
RR don’t particularly have a comforting record at the Eden Gardens; of the 9 matches they’ve played there, they’ve won just the two. The wickets will be fresher with the wickets offering pace. Chasing sides have won 3 of the last 5 games here in the IPL. However, scattered thunderstorms are forecast with humidity up to 68%. In the eventuality of a rain disruption to the extent of no play being possible in regulation time, the winner will be determined via a super over. And if even that’s not possible, then the league standing will be factored in.
Team Preview:
Gujarat Titans (GT):
Surprising many, Gujarat Titans became the first team to qualify for the playoffs and then with a win over Punjab Kings, they sealed their position at the top of the ladder. They were brilliant right from the outset and won 10 out of a total of 14 games played in the league stage. Alongside that, they had the tournament best net run rate of 0.316, which speaks volumes about how dominant they were though that net run-rate is not going to matter anymore.
Likely XI: Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Matthew Wade/Alzarri Joseph, Hardik Pandya (c), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal, Mohammed Shami

Rajasthan Royals (RR):
While the Royals had their issues with inconsistency in the middle part of the league stage, they managed to finish the round with two wins in their last two matches and consequently making it to top-two. They eventually finished the group stage with 9 wins from 14 games and a net run-rate of 0.298, which proved to be the difference between them and the Lucknow Super Giants as far as the race for the second spot was concerned.
Likely XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, Obed McCoy
