Who Will Win Today? IPL Prediction GT vs KKR
GT vs KKR Dream11 Today Prediction: Gujarat Titans are the clear favorites to win this match due to their performance so far in the tournament.
Gujarat Titans currently sit sixth on the points table with two wins from four matches. After a shaky start with back-to-back losses, they bounced back strongly with consecutive victories. Kolkata Knight Riders is currently in the bottom of the standings after losing all four matches so far.
- GT’s Strength: GT registered a dominant 7-wicket victory over LSG in their previous game. It restricted LSG to 164/8 and chased the target comfortably in 18.4 overs. Rashid Khan is in good form with five wickets at an economy of 6.87 and he also has a strong record against KKR with 19 wickets in 16 matches.
- KKR’s Weakness: KKR’s bowling has been hit by injuries and regular squad changes. In their most recent match, they suffered a 32-run loss to Chennai Super Kings, managing only 160/7 while chasing 192. Finn Allen was expected to provide quick starts but has scored only 81 runs in five matches.
Pitch Factor: The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is a haven for batters with the average first-innings score in T20s around 178. Dew often forms during evening matches which gives an edge to the chasing side as the ball becomes slippery. There is no chance of rain during the match with temperature around 26°C at night.
Expected Inning Totals: 180-200 Runs in First Innings
GT vs KKR Head to Head in IPL
