Rajasthan Royals v Gujarat Titans
The Rajasthan Royals last match was in Jaipur against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The Royals won the toss and decided to field. The RCB scoring 183 for 3 in their 20 overs on the back of a century from Virat Kohli. Yuzvendra Chahal was the top bowler with 2 for 34 in his 4 overs.
The Royals chased the runs down in the final over with 6 wickets in hand. Jos Buttler finished not out on 100 at a strike rate of 172 and he was ably supported by captain, Sanju Samson with 69 at a strike rate of 164.
The Gujarat Titans played the Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow in their last match and they lost the toss and fielded first. They restricted the Super Giants to a 163 for 5 in their 20 overs with Yadav and Nalkande both picking up two wickets and Noor Ahmed bowled his 4 over spell for less than 6 runs an over.
The Titans got off to a solid start putting on 54 for the first wicket in just under 6 overs, but they collapsed from 54 without loss to 61 for 4 and were eventually bowled out for 130. Sai Sudharsan with his 31 off 23 balls was the top run scorer for the Titans.

Suggested Bet: Rajasthan Royals Top Batter, Jos Buttler at 33/20
Butler started the tournament slowly, but will have taken a lot of confidence from that undefeated century in his last match. He showed us in the SA 20 that when he gets into form he is very hard to stop.
Suggested Bet: Player to score the most 6’s, Samson at 13/2
He cleared the ropes 6 times at this ground against the Lucknow Super Giants and against RCB he got another 2 maximums, but Buttler did surpass him in that innings with 4.
