GT vs RR IPL 2022 Qualifier 1 Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI, Fantasy Tips, Pitch Report, Injury Update

Mumbai, May 22: Gujarat Titans will face Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2022 Qualifier 1 on Tuesday (May 24) with both the teams eyeing a berth in the IPL final on May 29.

Gujarat Titans under Hardik Pandya finished the league phase as the No 1 side and will start as favourites on paper against the Rajasthan Royals led by Sanju Samson, the No 2 team after the league matches.

But all those calculations will hold to nothing once the match starts as both the teams have a wonderful set of players who can be match-winners on their day. If they live up to their billing then we can expect a cracker of a contest.

Injury report

For GT, there is a slight injury concern over Wriddhiman Saha as the wicketkeeper did not do the stumpers duty against Chennai Super Kings due to a tight hamstring. But GT would hope that Saha, a solid presence in front and behind the wicket, will be fit by Tuesday.

4. Match prediction

The Gujarat Titans and the Rajasthan Royals have played some good cricket in the IPL 2022 and it is no coincidence that they have been found in the No 1 and No 2 slots in the league phase and playing each other in the IPL 2022 Qualifier 1. But in this GT vs RR match, we will pick Gujarat Titans as the winner because they have a far more settled line-up.

5 GT vs RR Pitch report

The Eden Gardens Pitch often plays on the slower side. Spinners might come into play and both GT and RR have some of the finest in R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal and Rashid Khan. Batters will have to make a good beginning in the Power Play here and then build on it in a linear fashion.
