What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
Kolkata Knight Riders are the only team in the competition right now with nine wins and are comfortably perched at the top of the IPL 2024 points table. Gujarat Titans have 10 points from 12 games and with an NRR so poor, they need a miracle to have any chance of making the playoffs.
Quick GT vs KKR Preview
It’s been a tale of what-ifs for Gujarat Titans and while they have shown what they are capable of in snatches, it’s been a struggling season for them.
Take, for instance, what happened in their previous game which came against Chennai Super Kings. Their otherwise floundering batting amassed 231/3 from 20 thanks to centuries off the Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarshan bats.
And while they could have got a lot more but for a poor final three overs, that proved to be enough.
On the other hand, they have been pounded in some of the games, including a defeat with more than 10 overs to spare by Delhi Capitals that has left them with a net run-rate of minus 1.063. It’s the worst NRR for any team this season.
Kolkata Knight Riders were tested on a difficult Eden Gardens pitch by Mumbai Indians but the champion side that they are, they managed to overcome that issue nicely.
For starters they managed to keep scoring at every stage despite the difficulties and made 157 from the stipulated 16 overs. And then on a tough surface, the KKR spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy made life difficult for Mumbai Indians.
While batting was never a problem for KKR, there were a few question-marks about their bowling.
What has been seen over the last four games is their bowling has delivered the goods too and helped them notch up four successive wins.
Can this be their fifth?
