Preview
The match 48 of the Indian Premier League 2023 will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. RR are going to take part in this fixture on the back of a tough loss in the final over against MI in Mumbai. Meanwhile, GT also got defeated in their previous encounter against bottom placed DC in the last over. Both Royals and Titans have played a lot of good cricket in this year’s IPL, but they can’t afford to slip up at this stage of the tournament to derail their chances of making the playoffs.

Pitch Report
Analysis
Rajasthan Royals batting lineup has been delivering brilliant results as a unit with the young opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal leading the way. The recent form of Jos Buttler and Shimron Hetmyer is a bit of a concern, but they are expected to come good as the IPL moves to the business end of the season. In the bowling department, even though the performances from Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma, and Ravi Ashwin have been exemplary, RR do miss a proper sixth bowling option, which is costing them matches more than anything else this IPL season.
Gujarat Titans are arguably one of the most consistent batting lineups in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League with the likes of Shubman Gill, captain Hardik Pandya, and David Miller leading their run charts. But their recent defeat against DC in low scoring run chase will raise questions as to how good GT can be with the bat in hand in crunch situations. The likes of Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan have been leading the bowling attack for the Titans impressively along with Noor Ahmad and Mohit Sharma, especially in the last few matches.
