Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans (Match 39) – Highlights

On Saturday, April 29, the 39th IPL game takes place at the home of Kolkata between Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans. In that game, Kolkata Knight Riders batted first and set a respectable total in the allowed 20 overs. But Gujarat Titans, who were chasing the goal, accomplished it before the allocated 20 overs were up. As a result, they won by seven wickets as they exited the field. Besides, Joshua Little won the game’s Man of the Match award for his outstanding bowling.

 

In the most recent game, Afghan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s bat finally set fire. With his scorching bat, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) were unable to amass a significant total. However, the score was quite challenging.

Hardik Pandya, the captain of Gujarat, won the toss and decided to field and sent off KKR to bat. Besides, The Kolkata Knight Riders lost the toss at Eden Gardens, and lost the match by 7 wickets along with that, they scored 179 runs after the first innings.

 

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Narayan Jagadeesan, the two openers, attempted to stir up trouble right away. Jagadeesan was struck out despite having scored 19 runs off of 15 balls. By 23 runs, the team’s first wicket was lost. At number three in the order, Shardul Thakur was out after 4 balls without scoring any runs. He remained, though, watching from the sidelines for some time. But Rahmanullah Gurbaz continued to bat from the other side. The second wicket fell at the team’s 47 runs.

 

Rahmanullah Gurbaz was out after scoring 81 runs from 39 balls while maintaining a strike rate of 207.69. He hit 5 boundaries and 7 sixes. Additionally, Venkatesh Iyer scored 11 runs off of 14 balls in his innings. In three balls, Nitish Rana scored four runs. In 20 balls, Rinku Singh scored 19 runs. David Wiese was unbeaten with 8 runs off 6 balls, and Andre Russell scored 34 runs off 19 balls. 

 

Rashid Khan failed miserably while bowling for Gujrat. He had previously defeated Kolkata with a hat trick, but on this particular day, he gave 54 runs for no wicket in 4 overs. However, his fellow countryman Noor Ahmed has spread the light. Two of his wickets were taken for just 21 runs. Additionally, Mohammad Shami has taken three wickets, the most for the team, for 33 runs. Josh Little took 2 wickets for 25 runs. 

 

Gujarat did not believe they could lose after descending to chase down the 180-run mark Kolkata threw at the Eden Gardens. With 13 balls remaining, the batsmen of the defending champions reached the target and won by 7 wickets.

 

Gujarat was on edge right away as they attempted to reach the 180-run target. However, Wriddhiman Saha was caught early after scoring 10 runs in 10 balls. 26 runs were scored by Hardik Pandya from 20 balls. Shubman Gill, another opener, was returned after 49 runs off 35 balls. He hit eight boundaries.

 

However, Vijay Shankar’s batting was the most destructive. A tornado inning of 51 runs off 24 balls was played by him. He hit 2 boundaries and 5 sixes. Also, David Miller scored 32 runs off 18 balls. Eventually, Gujarat Titans scored the required runs in 17.5 overs to win.

Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (Match 40) – Highlights

The match between the two teams at the bottom of the points table of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 spread excitement at the end. Mitchell Marsh showed great all-round skills. But Delhi Capitals (DC) was not saved. David Warner’s team lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

 

Sunrisers defeated Capitals by 9 runs at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday (April 29). Batting first, courtesy of Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen’s half-centuries, SRH collected a score of 197 runs by losing 6 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. In response, despite the half-centuries of Philip Salt and Mitchell Marsh, DC’s innings stopped at 188 runs after losing 6 wickets in the allotted 20 overs.

 

After winning the toss and batting, Sunrisers got big collections mainly from Abhishek Sharma and Proteas recruit Heinrich Klaasen. Abhishek scored 67 off 36 balls before being caught by David Warner off Axar Patel. His innings had 12 fours and 1 six.

 

By the time Abhishek was dismissed for 109, Mayank Agarwal (5), Rahul Tripathi (10), captain Aiden Markram (8), and Harry Brook (0) had returned to the dressing room. From there, Klaasen brought a big collection to SRH. He added 89 runs along with Abdul Samad (28) and Akeal Hosein (16). Klaasen remained unbeaten after scoring 53 runs off 27 balls with 2 fours and 4 sixes.

 

Mitchell Marsh bowled well for DC in this match. He picked up 4 wickets with only 27 runs in four overs. Axar Patel and Ishant Sharma took the remaining two wickets.

Capitals captain Warner was dismissed by Bhuvneshwar Kumar before opening the run book to chase the big target of 198 runs. However, DC was on the way to victory with the great batting of another opener, Philip Salt, and Mitchell Marsh, who went down one down. The pair added 112 runs off just 66 balls. Mayank Markande broke this pair by returning Salt. He scored 59 runs off 35 balls with the help of 9 boundaries.

 

After Salt’s departure, the Capitals’ innings collapsed. Losing the 2nd wicket in the team’s 112 runs, DC lost six wickets to get 148 runs! Manish Pandey (1) departed for the team’s 115 runs. After that, when Marsh caught the ball of Akeal Hosein in the hands of Markram in the team’s 125 runs, the match was lost at the hands of DC. Marsh scored 63 runs off 39 balls with 1 four and 6 sixes.

 

After the departure of this Australian all-rounder, no other batsman could stand in the trust of the team. Priyam Garg scored 12 and Sarfaraz Khan scored 9 runs. Axar Patel tried with Ripal Patel for the seventh wicket partnership but it was not enough to win. Axar scored 29 runs off 14 balls with 1 four and 2 sixes. Ripal scored 11 runs off 8 balls.

 

With this win, Sunrisers Hyderabad has overtaken Mumbai Indians (MI) to the 8th position in the points table. Sunrisers have collected 6 points in 8 matches. MI also collected 6 points with one less game. But they are behind SRH in run rate. Delhi Capitals is now at the bottom of the points table with 6 points from just 2 wins in 8 matches.

Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals Team Preview

Mumbai Indians

The Mumbai Indians lost in their last match, but they still have a roster full of deadly batters. They can’t be ruled out, but this may be a difficult match against the Rajasthan Royals.

After returning to the team for the last match, it was revealed that Jofra Archer had been ruled out due to illness. Archer underwent minor elbow surgery in Belgium a few weeks ago and is expected to be fully recovered.

Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals got back on track with a dominant win against Chennai Super Kings on Thursday, and we expect them to be fired up for this match.

Trent Boult has been in terrific form in the 2023 IPL, but he dropped Thursday’s win over Chennai Super Kings due to a niggle, and we don’t anticipate him to be risked for this match. Adam Zampa was added to the lineup for the most recent encounter, and we expect him to remain there.

The bowlers have some early help from the surface, and as the game develops, it becomes better to bat on. As a result, the team that wins the toss will have no qualms about bowling first on this surface.

Sunny skies are forecast at the start of the match, followed by clear skies after nightfall. The temperature will remain in the high 20s throughout the match, with greater humidity as the game proceeds.

At Wankhede Stadium, the average IPL first innings score is less than 170, but we predict both sides to reach totals beyond that amount in this encounter. The game will be turned around.
