Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans (KKRvGT): The 35th match of IPL 2022 will be played between KKR vs GT, the match will start at 03:30 PM IST on 23 April 2022 at DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai, India
Team winner Prediction:
Key Points:
- Gujrat Titans have fared pretty well in the competition so far. This works in their favor as they are psychologically in a better position than KKR.
- The performance of overseas players from both teams holds the key to the match.
- All-rounders such as Pat Cummins and Andre Russel are expected to do well on this wicket as it is an even surface offering assistance with both bat and ball.
KKR vs GT Analysis:
With three wins in four matches, it seemed Kolkata Knight Riders had found the perfect template for IPL 2022. They were aggressive with the bat in hand while the bowling unit wore a settled look. However, with three consecutive losses in the bag, things have fallen apart pretty drastically for them and they’ve slipped to the seventh spot after seven matches
There are problems aplenty for the Kolkata franchise and with key personnel misfiring, they are desperate to find solutions. Take Pat Cummins for example, the pacer has figures of 2 for 49, 0 for 51, 1 for 40 and 1 for 50 – leaking runs at 12.00 in four matches. They haven’t been able to control the middle overs because Varun Chakravarthy – four wickets from seven matches at an average of 55.25 – has struggled to keep things in check. Both Andre Russell and Shivam Mavi have an economy of more than 10 while Umesh Yadav and Sunil Narine have been the stand out performers with the ball in hand.
Titans too have a niggling issue to fix at the top of the order. Matthew Wade hasn’t quite hit his straps while Vijay Shankar has looked at sea. With Gill posting single-digit scores in his previous three matches, the onus has fallen on Hardik Pandya and the middle order to rescue the side every single time. Gill’s two big scores have been 96 and 84 and if he can find support from his opening partner, Titans should become a more potent unit.
