IPL 2022: Finals, GT vs RR Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL Match? - Cricket Winner

Preview

GT vs RR: And then there were two. GT and RR are the only teams left in the contest, and both are proving that they have been the best in the tournament. For GT, this will be their first IPL Final, while RR are playing in only their second Final after making it back in 2008. Another interesting stat is that GT is only the third debutant team to make the Finals after CSK and RR made it back in 2008.

Both teams have had similar templates coming to this point. They stocked up their bowling attack, with Rajasthan using the auction to acquire bowling stars from other teams, while GT found a lot of variety in their bowling attack. Both teams have also relied on a certain set of superstars with the bat, while Jos Buttler has been the light of the Rajasthan batting line-up.

Key Players

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler has four centuries this season and is in the form of his life. He has dictated the tournament with his batting, and irrespective of the results, Buttler is likely to go home on Sunday with a lot of awards to his name. His form though will be crucial against a strong bowling attack as Buttler can make a strong early statement in the Finals.

Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan has never won an IPL trophy but is one of the most prolific bowlers in the tournament. He has had a lot of success in the franchise circuit and will be eager to add another title to his table. With Jos Buttler raging in the opposition, a lot of responsibility will fall on one of the best T20 bowlers as he looks to restrict one of the best T20 batters in the World, currently.

GT vs RR Match Tips

Both teams came this far with their bowling might and some heroic moments with the bat. They have strong units, but given the depth in GT’s line-up, they may have a better chance to win unless Jos Buttler manages to get the better of Rashid and co.

Match Prediction: GT will win the match.
