Gujarat Titans are scheduled to play the Rajasthan Royals in the all-important final of IPL 2022 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Hardik Pandya-led side will be confident after winning the Qualifier 1 against the same team and they topped the league stage as well. They are likely to stick to the same playing XI despite the bowlers going for a few in the previous game.
On the other hand, the Rajasthan Royals dominated the Royal Challengers Bangalore completely in Qualifier 2 to make the final of IPL 2022. The Sanju Samson-led side has one of the best bowling lineups and the in-form batter Jos Buttler has played a substantial role for the RR in their batting lineup in the last two games. However, they will know that it will not be easy against Gujarat Titans who have found ways to win in difficult situations.
MATCH DETAILS:
Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
Date & Time: May 29, 8:00 PM
PITCH REPORT
The last encounter at the stadium was relatively a one-sided game, with RR coming out on top against RCB. There was a lot of assistance for the fast bowlers with the new ball while the extra bounce did the trick at times. The skipper that wins the toss will be expected to bowl first as they can pace the innings well and will have time to assess the conditions as well.
HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORDS:
Gujarat Titans are the new team in the 15th season of the IPL, but they’ve played a fantastic style of cricket to make it to the final. In the IPL 2022, RR was also quite steady under Sanju Samson. These two teams have met twice in IPL 15 and Gujarat has won both times, holding a 2-0 lead in the head-to-head record.

HARDIK PANDYA:
Hardik Pandya played another match-winning knock in the previous game alongside David Miller and he has stepped up on important occasions for the Gujarat Titans this season. The skipper has been in good touch in the last two innings and has enjoyed his role at number four especially. With 453 runs in 14 games at an average of 45.30, Pandya will look to finish the tournament on a high.
PROBABLE THE BEST BOWLER OF THE MATCH
RASHID KHAN:
Rashid Khan was the standout bowler for Gujarat Titans in the previous game and he managed to concede just 15 runs in four overs, in a high-scoring encounter. The Afghanistan spinner will be crucial to the plans of the Gujarat franchise yet again in the final of the edition and he can turn around games from a difficult situation.
