Hi bro Today Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) face off in the IPL 2022 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 29. This is the third time both teams will play each other in the season. Gujarat had won both the previous two games.
A total of 70 league matches will be played across the four venues in Maharashtra. 20 matches each were played at the Wankhede Stadium and the DY Patil Stadium while 15 games each at the Brabourne Stadium and the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Group A has teams like MI, KKR, DC, RR, and LSG. Group B consists of CSK, RCB, SRH, PBKS, and GT. Gujarat are playing the final in their debut season while it is the first IPL final for Rajasthan for 14 years. Gujarat Titans beat the Royals in Qualifier 1 after beating them first in the league stage. They have had a good break of four days in between heading into the big game. The players are fresh and ready to go. Hardik Pandya as the GT skipper has been fearless and has brought the best out of his players. Rajasthan Royals on the other hand have played three games on their way to making the final. They first lost Qualifier 1 and then won the Eliminator ad the second qualifier back to back to get themselves in the final. As a side, they would be a lot more work out than their opposition. The Royals will also have a better momentum heading into the final after having more game time in the park. 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.

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.
