Match Preview

Gujarat Titans (GT) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face each other in the 63rd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Monday, May 13. The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will host the contest.

The Knight Riders, led by Shreyas Iyer, are already through to the playoffs. The 2-time champions booked their playoffs berth after beating Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians (MI) by 18 runs on Saturday at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

After being asked to bat first in a match, curtailed to 16 overs, KKR scored 157 for the loss of 7 wickets. Venkatesh Iyer was their top-scorer after he made 42 runs off 21 balls. Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh made 33, 24 and 20 respectively.

Thereafter, MI restricted GT to 139 for 8. Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy and Russell accounted for 2 scalps apiece. Varun won the Player of the Match award.

The Titans, on the other hand, have had a disastrous campaign until now in the tournament. With 10 points and a net run rate of -1.063, they need a miracle to progress to the next round. GT, however, will be high on confidence after beating Chennai Super Kings at home. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan scored twin hundreds to keep GT alive in the championship.
