Gujarat Titans, despite the obvious fallacies with their batting, have been one of the best teams in the season. The shock loss to Delhi notwithstanding, Gujarat are more than capable of winning against Rajasthan. Gujarat Titans have odds of 1.96 to beat Rajasthan Royals.
Head-to-head record, RR v GT
Gujarat beat Rajasthan Royals thrice in 2022 enroute to a title win in their maiden season. This included a memorable win in the final of the season. This year, however, Rajasthan pulled one back early in the season.
Toss prediction
The toss could be a factor here at the Sawami Mansingh stadium with dew in play and two different pitches available to the curator. It remains to be seen which one would be used for this game.
Win probability
In their last meeting, Rajasthan brushed aside Gujarat but the Hardik Pandya-led side are the more well-rounded unit and could beat Rajasthan in their backyard. They have a win probability as good as that of Rajasthan, making it an almost even contest.
Average score
The pitch here in Jaipur has seen one low-scoring match and another where the team crossed 200. It will be a trick one to judge before the actual inspection. The average score here hovers around the 160 mark..
Pitch and conditions
The weather should be good for this game with no rain forecast. The pitch helps pacers early on, but also produces turn in the second half.
Players to keep an eye on…
RR Predicted playing XI:
Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Adam Zampa, Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal
GT Predicted playing XI:
Wriddhiman Saha, Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya, Vijay Shankar, Abhinav Manohar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Shami, Noor Ahmad, Mohit Sharma
Shubman Gill: With the quality in the Rajasthan bowling attack, Gujarat need their main batter to step up and produce a big knock, something he hasn’t quite managed this year.
Yashasvi Jaiswal: Jaiswal is in terrific form, covering up for Jos Buttler’s absence and has scores of 44, 47, 77, and 124 in the last four matches.
IPL 2023, Match 48 predictions

RR v GT Betting tips
Apart from betting on Gujarat to win the match, check our other recommended bet about GT’s best batter.
Shubman Gill has a good match up against a lot of Rajasthan’s bowling attack except Trent Boult. Should he get past the initial three overs, Gill could make merry here. Back Gill at 3.29 to be Gujarat’s top batter!
