KKR vs RR Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: IPL 2023 Match 56 | KOL vs RR Dream11 Prediction Today | Eden Gardens Pitch Report

When you forget how to win, you really forget how to win. That is the case for Rajasthan Royals, whose losing streak – now five in their past six matches – culminated in the team losing the almost unloseable against Sunrisers Hyderabad a few nights back. They actually had it won, before that dreaded alarm sounded and Sandeep Sharma had to rebowl what turned out to be a fatal final delivery.

RR’s tactics, bowling changes and use of the impact player have come under great scrutiny from fans and pundits alike, and now is the time to bring it all together as they have dropped out of the top four. Defeat at Eden Gardens against Kolkata Knight Riders will see KKR leapfrog Sanju Samson’s team, which will leave the Royals in a very precarious position for their final two games.

With regards to KKR, things look a little rosier. They too are on ten points, but have the comfort of good recent form. Nitish Rana’s team have won three of their last four matches after a difficult run, and it is vital they make that confidence count in what is a magnificent playoffs’ race.

So, can the likes of Jason Roy and Andre Russell prey on RR’s nerves? Or will the Royals’ senior players lead the way and deliver when it matters? All to play for.

Match Details

  • Location: Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

IPL 2023 Match 56: KKR vs RR Possible Playing XIIs

KKR look relatively settled after their tight win over Punjab Kings. They may stick with the same XII.

Kolkata Knight Riders (possible impact player in bold italic): 1. Jason Roy (OS), 2. Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), 3. Nitish Rana (c), 4. Venkatesh Iyer, 5. Andre Russell (OS), 6. Rinku Singh, 7. Shardul Thakur, 8. Sunil Narine (OS), 9. Harshit Rana, 10. Vaibhav Arora, 11. Varun Chakravarthy, 12. Suyash Sharma

The Royals have more questions than answers. Joe Root didn’t get to bat in his IPL debut, so he is likely to get another go. However, after bringing in Obed McCoy as an impact player, they used him for just one over. Whether Trent Boult is available after a niggle remains to be seen.

Rajasthan Royals (possible impact player in bold italic): 1. Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2. Jos Buttler (OS), 3. Sanju Samson (c & wk), 4. Joe Root (OS), 5. Shimron Hetmyer (OS), 6. Dhruv Jurel, 7. R Ashwin, 8. Sandeep Sharma, 9. Murugan Ashwin, 10. Trent Boult (OS), 11. Yuzvendra Chahal, 12. Kuldip Yadav

IPL 2023 56th match: KKR vs RR fantasy tips: key players to watch/key stats

Kolkata Knight Riders:

  • Jason Roy is in good touch. The opener has struck 43, 61, 56, 20 and 38 this season at a strike rate of 159.12.
  • Andre Russell helped lead KKR to victory against Punjab with a trademark Dre Russ innings. He will be seeking to improve on his record against RR: 9 inns, 170 runs, avg. 24.29, SR 170.00.
  • Russell has dominated Yuzvendra Chahal. In 37 deliveries in the IPL, Russell has hit 80 runs and has been dismissed just once.

  • Rinku when batting second in the IPL: 12 inns, 334 runs, avg. 47.7, SR 165.3.
  • Varun Chakravarthy is enjoying a dream run and can target the Royals’ recent tendency to lose middle overs wickets. The spinner has taken seven wickets in his past four matches.
  • Varun has dismissed Jos Buttler twice in 13 deliveries in the IPL. However, Buttler has hit 28 runs. This could be an interesting battle.
  • Sunil Narine has taken just one wicket in his past eight games. But, KKR will be hoping he can get the better of Sanju Samson. In 78 deliveries, Narine has dismissed him thrice for just 64 runs.
  • Narine also has strong numbers against Jos Buttler in T20s: 67 balls, 69 runs, three dismissals.

  • Trent Boult has a good record against Jason Roy in T20s. In 25 deliveries, he has dismissed him twice for just 34 runs. Yuzvendra Chahal also has good numbers against Roy in the IPL: 17 balls, 12 runs, two dismissals.
  • Boult v Andre Russell could be a fascinating battle. In 13 deliveries in the IPL, Boult has dismissed him twice but has conceded 25 runs.
  • RR could use R Ashwin against Russell. In seven deliveries in the IPL, Ashwin has picked up the KKR middle order batsman twice for just nine runs.

Other Stats and Facts

MI vs RCB Twitter reactions – Suryakumar dazzles again

Cricket News: MI vs RCB Twitter reactions – Suryakumar dazzles again | Reactions to Suryakumar Yadav’s great innings

Swashbuckling star Suryakumar Yadav powered the Mumbai Indians (MI) to an emphatic victory against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday. Chasing 200, the home team got to the target in only 16.3 overs as Surya slammed 83 runs off 35 deliveries whilst batting at number three. The batsman, who came into the IPL on the back of three consecutive ducks in the ODI series against Australia, seems to have finally gotten in his groove.

He has played a vital role in some of the terrific chases that MI pulled off against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) recently. He has been timing the ball really well and is again able to execute his trademark acrobatic shots that make him such a force to reckon with in white-ball cricket.

MI vs RCB Twitter reactions: Mumbai Indians overcome Royal Challengers Bangalore

Here is how Twitterati reacted to Surya’s sensational knock against RCB.

Ishan Kishan and Nehal Wadhera played an able hand in supporting Surya in their incredible chase. Ishan hit four sixes and four boundaries to get to 42 off 21 deliveries as he helped MI maximise the powerplay and set up a great foundation for the likes of Surya and Wadhera to build their innings on. Wadhera had made a fine half-century against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and he was promoted to bat at number four in this match.

The southpaw made full use of this opportunity, scoring 52 off 34 with four boundaries and three sixes to his name. MI have now skyrocketed to the third spot in the points table – behind only the Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). They will hope to carry on this form to the business end of the tournament as the race for the playoffs berths heats up in the coming week.

MI vs RCB Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report IPL 2023 Match 54 | MI vs RCB Dream11 Prediction Today | Wankhede Pitch Report

Back in match five of IPL 2023, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli put on a clinic to dispatch Mumbai Indians with ease. Since then, the fears surrounding each team has come to fruition somewhat, with Royal Challengers Bangalore still relying heavily on their opening duo and Glenn Maxwell, while MI’s ability to defend is in the spotlight.

So, the big question is which team will overcome their worries in this massive game? The winner will move into the top four of what is a packed and incredible table, where each result makes a significant difference. Also, when you consider both RCB and MI have negative net run rates, victory here is even more important.

The battles will make for intriguing viewing. MI’s seamers can break the back of the RCB batting lineup if they make inroads early. However, that is easier said than done given the indifferent form of their attack this year. For RCB, how their bowlers handle MI’s power hitters – particularly Suryakumar Yadav and Tim David – can be pivotal in the final analysis.

Strap in. This game between franchises who have two of the most passionate fanbases promises to be a beauty.

  • Cameron Green has slammed 67 and 44 in his past two matches at the Wankhede. Given RCB’s bowling struggles outside the powerplay, Green can provide some crucial, quick runs in the middle.

  • Piyush Chawla (17 wickets this season) is just two away from the leading wicket-takers Mohammed Shami, Rashid Khan and Tushar Deshpande. In 22 matches against RCB, Chawla has taken 19 wickets at a strike rate of 22.79 and economy of 7.48.
  • Chawla has good numbers against Faf du Plessis in the IPL, with total figures of 2/52 in 55 balls. Also, he has dismissed Maxwell three times in 36 balls, but the Australian strikes at 150.

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

  • Virat Kohli easily has the most runs in MI-RCB matches (909) at an average of 32.46 and strike rate of 129.12. Earlier this season, he blew fans away with his 82* against MI at the Chinnaswamy.

  • Orange cap holder Faf du Plessis belted 73 (43) against MI earlier in IPL 2023. The RCB skipper also has a good record at the Wankhede, with 633 runs in 19 innings at an average of 42.20 and strike rate of 130.25.
  • Glenn Maxwell has scored 0, 77, 5, 4 and 0 in his past five knocks. Since the start of 2021, he has smashed 115 runs in four innings vs MI at an average of 57.50 and strike rate of 164.29.
  • Maxwell’s T20 record at the Wankhede: 10 inns, 297 runs, avg. 33.00, SR 172.67.
  • Mohammed Siraj has dismissed Ishan Kishan twice in 29 balls in the IPL, conceding just 34 in the process.
  • Josh Hazlewood vs Rohit Sharma in T20s: 21 balls bowled, 25 runs conceded, one dismissal.

  • RCB have won their past four matches against MI.
  • MI have won four of their five games when chasing in IPL 2023.
  • Rohit Sharma has scored just five runs in his past four innings. But, a silver lining is that he has never been dismissed by Mohammed Siraj in the IPL: 51 balls, 67 runs. However, Harshal Patel has dismissed him thrice in 22 balls.
  • Virat Kohli has a good strike rate of 133.3 in 105 deliveries against Piyush Chawla in the IPL (three dismissals).

Wankhede Stadium Mumbai Pitch Report and Weather

The Wankhede has been a belter for batting in IPL 2023. The average first innings score in four matches is 192, with the chasing team winning on three occasions. So, expect the captain who wins the toss to chase today, particularly considering both teams’ chasing abilities.

A warm and mostly clear evening is forecast, with dew likely.

IRE vs BAN 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report

IRE vs BAN 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report | IRE vs BAN 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction Today | Chelmsford Pitch Report

Bangladesh fans will not be alone in supporting their beloved Tigers. South Africa will also be keeping a close eye as direct qualification to the World Cup hangs on this series. Should Ireland win 3-0, they will be heading straight to India while the Proteas will need to go to Zimbabwe next month for the qualifier tournament.

While the Irish know how to spring a surprise, it’s long odds for a 3-0 win. Not only will they have to contend with a strong ODI side in Bangladesh, but the weather in Chelmsford is iffy at best. Cold conditions and rain throughout the day is forecast, so Ireland need to be perfect if they are to win this clash.

For Bangladesh, this is a strong opportunity to perform in foreign conditions. The chilly, damp conditions are a stark contrast to what they are used to back home, so whether they can repeat their dominant home series performance against Ireland in March remains to be seen.

A cold day is forecast in Chelmsford, with a top of about 17 degrees. Unfortunately, rain is forecast throughout the day, especially from about 3pm onwards.

This will be the first ODI played at the ground since 1999. In the last five domestic one-day matches in 2022, the average first innings score was 292, with three scores above 300. But, given the cold, damp conditions today, there may be some decent movement up front with the new ball.

The stakes are high, and it is about mental strength in the pressure moments. PBKS have been decent in these moments, while KKR know how to pull off improbable wins, with their latest being a remarkable five-run win over Hyderabad.

Every moment matters now. Each opportunity needs to be taken. Plans need to be clear, and more importantly, they need to be executed. This has the makings of an exciting clash, and it can genuinely go either way.

Andre Russell (OS), 7. Shardul Thakur, 8. Sunil Narine (OS), 9. Harshit Rana, 10. Vaibhav Arora, 11. Varun Chakravarthy, 12. Suyash Sharma/Anukul Roy

Nathan Ellis or Kagiso Rabada? That is the question for PBKS.

IPL 2023 53rd match: KKR vs PBKS fantasy picks: key players to watch/key stats

Kolkata Knight Riders:

  • Jason Roy has struck two fifties in four matches this season at a strike rate of 159.29. His battle with Arshdeep Singh (six balls in T20s, no runs) could be interesting.
  • Andre Russell has not really fired with the bat this season, but today could be the day. He has smashed 366 runs in 11 innings against Punjab at a strike rate of 202.21.
  • Russell has scores 60 off 27 balls against Kagiso Rabada in the IPL (one dismissal).
  • Rinku Singh is KKR’s top run-scorer this season. The left-hander has struck 316 runs at an average of 52.66 and strike rate of 148.35.
  • Cometh the hour, cometh Sunil Narine? The legendary spinner has taken just one wicket in the last seven games, but he has the most scalps in KKR-PBKS matches (33) at an average of 19.03 and economy of 7.06.
  • Varun Chakravarthy is bowling beautifully. He can test the PBKS middle order, even at the death. He is KKR’s top wicket-taker this season with 14.
  • Chakravarthy has a great record against Shikhar Dhawan. He has dismissed the PBKS captain three times in 40 balls in the IPL (42 runs).

Punjab Kings:

  • Shikhar Dhawan has scored 850 runs against KKR at an average of 29.31 and strike rate of 118.06.
  • Dhawan has made a number of starts against KKR since the start of 2021. The left-hander has struck 46, 24, 36, 16 and 40, but his strike rate has hovered around just 100.
  • Prabhsimran Singh is a player who can impact the game. He hit an impressive 23 off 12 balls against KKR earlier this season before he was caught unluckily down the legside.
  • Liam Livingstone has hit the go button. He is coming off a superb 82* (42) against MI. Both Arshdeep Singh (five balls) and Kagiso Rabada (four balls) have dismissed him once, so it promises to be excellent battles.
  • Sam Curran has made scores of 55, 21 and 29 in his past three knocks. He has dismissed Andre Russell twice in 15 balls in T20s (30 runs).
  • PBKS could look to have Kagiso Rabada send short balls down to the likes of Andre Russell. Also, the Proteas seamer has dismissed Venkatesh Iyer once in 11 balls (14 runs) and Jason Roy three times in 61 balls (82 runs) in T20s.
  • Arshdeep Singh has taken eight wickets in seven matches against KKR at an average of 22.13 and economy of 8.56. He will be seeking to bounce back after a tough outing against MI.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 31, KKR 20, PBKS 11.
  • KKR’s average for the opening stand is just 20. PBKS is 20.1. These are the two worst in the league.
  • KKR have taken the most wickets among spinners in IPL 2023 (35). PBKS have the least (12).
  • Nitish Rana has scored just 134 runs in nine innings against PBKS since the start of 2018 (avg. 14.89).
  • Venkatesh Iyer looked uncomfortable against the short ball in the last match. Expect the PBKS seamers to test him.

Eden Gardens Kolkata Pitch Report and Weather

A hot and clear night is forecast in Kolkata. According to Cricbuzz, pitch #4 will be used for this match and it could be drier given that is hasn’t been watered as much due to unreliable weather in recent times. Also, the curator said that hasn’t been too much dew in the last few nights. So, the spinners could have a fair say in this clash.

The average first innings score in four matches is 211.5. The team batting first has won three of them, so there may be the temptation to bat first.

CSK vs MI Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report IPL 2023 Match 49

CSK vs MI Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report IPL 2023 Match 49 | CHE vs MI Dream11 Prediction Today | Chepauk Pitch Report

IPL’s El Classico is upon us, and there is so much riding on it. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) currently sit in the top four, but Mumbai Indians (MI) can overtake them with victory here to move all the way from sixth to second. So, as you can imagine, the stakes are high.

MI have won five of their past seven matches, and recently became the first team to successfully chase down two 200+ scores in a row. The middle order is firing, but how they fare against CSK’s spinners on what could be a pitch that aids spin will be fascinating to see.

In terms of CSK, only once have they lost two home games in the league stage prior to this season. RR and PBKS have breached the fortress in 2023, and today they meet a team who has a 6-2 record at the ground. Their focus today might well be their middle order against MI’s in-form batting lineup, so how they perform in a pressure game is vital.

Match Details

  • Location: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai.
  • Time: 3:30pm (IST).

IPL 2023 49th match: CHE vs MI Fantasy tips: Key players to watch & stats

Chennai Super Kings:

  • Ruturaj Gaikwad has a score of 88 against MI but just 51 in his other five knocks against them.
  • Devon Conway is in superb touch. In nine innings this season, the left-hander has struck 414 runs at an average of 59.14 and strike rate of 144.25. This includes five half-centuries.
  • Ajinkya Rahane smashed a memorable 27-ball 61 against MI earlier this season. However, Rahane has often struggled at Chepauk, with just 98 runs in seven innings at an average of 14.00.
  • Ravindra Jadeja was man of the match against MI earlier this season. He took 3/20. Also, Jadeja has taken seven wickets in his last three games at Chepauk.
  • Moeen Ali found some bowling form on a turning pitch in Lucknow last match (2/13). CSK could use him against the likes of Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma.

Mumbai Indians:

  • Suryakumar Yadav is back in supreme touch. In nine matches this season, he has smashed 267 runs at a strike rate of 184.13, including three fifties.
  • Yadav averages 41.14 in nine innings at Chepauk (288 runs, SR 129.15). Against CSK, Suryakumar has also hit 288 runs (avg. 32.00, SR 127.43).
  • Tilak Varma is enjoying another excellent season. He is the second-highest run-scorer (274) for MI this season behind Ishan Kishan (286) at an average of 45.66 and strike rate of 158.38.
  • Tilak has been solid in his time against CSK so far: 3 inns, 107 runs, avg. 107.00, SR 115.05.
  • Watch out for Cameron Green. Expect him to look to go after the harder ball early in the innings. The all-rounder is striking at 150.28 this season (266 runs).
  • Rahane has been dismissed three times in 41 balls against legspin in IPL 2023 (67). So, the in-form Piyush Chawla (15 wickets this season) is key in keeping Rahane as quiet as possible.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 37, CSK 16, MI 21.
  • MI have won six out of eight matches against CSK at Chepauk.
  • Chawla has dismissed Ambati Rayudu six times in 53 balls in the IPL.
  • Rohit Sharma is in need of runs. He averages 29.28 in 27 matches against CSK and 27.77 in 15 innings at Chepauk.
  • Deepak Chahar vs MI: 11 inns, 11 wickets, avg. 26.18, econ. 7.85.

MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai Pitch Report and Weather

There is some rain and possible thunderstorms forecast for Chennai today. Hopefully, conditions should be mostly fine for this afternoon match, but it remains to be seen. So, the team who wins the toss may choose to bowl.

Spinners have had some say at Chepauk this season, but they haven’t exactly dominated. The average first innings score this season is a high 181.5, with the chasing team winning the past two matches.

5 richest Cricket Boards in the world 2023

Cricket News: 5 richest Cricket Boards in the world 2023 | How much is the BCCI worth?

Cricket is one of the most commercially attractive and viable sports in the world. The limelight is often directed towards the players who sweat it out on the field to produce great games that both thrill and excite the audience. However, there are often authorities working overtime on the backdrop trying to make things click cohesively both on the field and on the television sets.

Ranked: Richest cricket boards in 2023

Here, CricBlog explores the five richest cricketing boards in the world.

5. Bangladesh Cricket Board – Rs 802 crore

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) ranks higher up than many of their fancied counterparts with a total worth of Rs 802 crore thus far. Their sponsorship deals with Daraz, Aamra Network and Pan Pacific has created abundant cash flow for them and the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) has been popularising gradually since its inception in 2012.

Now, the authorities will be hoping that potential successes in multi-nation tournaments, with many of them slated to be held in the coming years, can help boost their valuation further in the coming years.

4. Pakistan Cricket Board – Rs 811 crore

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reported revenue of Rs 811 crore and that is palpable considering the massive widespread following for the sport in the country.

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) attracts sponsors from all across the world. Moreover, the national team has been one of the pioneers of the game since the sport began getting commercialised with a lot of global bigwigs having been associated with them over the years. As of now, they seem to be ranked the highest amongst boards outside of the big three of the cricketing world.

3. England and Wales Cricket Board – Rs 2,135 crore

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) stands third in the list with a total revenue of Rs 2,135 crore. England is one of the few countries that seem to be selling out tickets for Test matches still and the Hundred has emerged as a major cash cow for the ECB. They have sponsorship agreements in place with major companies like Lifebuoy, Royal London, Vitality and New Balance amongst others and their prominence in the commercial side of things of cricket is only set to grow bigger with time.

2. Cricket Australia – Rs 2,843 crore

Cricket Australia (CA) comes in second with Rs 2,843 crore and it is not hard to understand why. First, the sport is incredibly well followed down under and hence the scope of monetising it is much more than others as well.

With sponsors like KFC, Fox Sports, HCL, Toyota, Gatorade, Vodafone and Dettol under their belt, CA has plenty of money flowing in and that helps them build and maintain the robust cricketing infrastructure that produces scores of tremendous players year after year.

1. Board of Control for Cricket in India – Rs 33730 crore

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) tops the list with its worth being over 10 times more than its nearest competitor. The Indian Premier League (IPL) has sky-rocketed the board’s revenue sources by multifolds. IPL helps the BCCI rake in significant sums through both sponsorships as well as the sale of media rights.

The BCCI has set itself way too ahead of any of its peers when it comes to making money through cricket and a lot of factors, comprising both the support for the game in the country along with the team’s on-field performances and brand values of individuals stars have contributed towards the same.

RR vs GT Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report IPL 2023 Match 48

RR vs GT Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report IPL 2023 Match 48 | RR vs GT Dream11 Prediction Today | Jaipur Pitch Report

The 2022 finalists have visions of reaching the business end of the tournament once again. However, both Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) must beware of looking to far ahead given there is a logjam of teams just behind them in what has been a riveting, captivating IPL 2023 tournament.

GT come into this match wondering how they didn’t win their last. They had bottom-placed Delhi Capitals on the ropes in the powerplay but somehow lost, thus not nailing down their top spot as they should have. Here is their chance to do just that, with the batsmen tasked with better supporting their high-performing bowling attack.

RR also need to win; more so than GT. Sanju Samson’s team has lost three of their past four matches to sit precariously in fourth place, equal with fifth-placed RCB, sixth-placed MI and seventh-placed PBKS. Last time out, they looked set for victory against Mumbai Indians, before Tim David had other ideas to expose the pieces still missing to fully round out the RR attack.

Worryingly for RR, the likes of Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder and Yuzvendra Chahal have been short of their best form in recent matches. The time to deliver is now to keep their top four position intact.

Match Details

  • Location: Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.

IPL 2023 Match 48: RR vs GT Possible Playing XIIs

Will the Royals stick with Jason Holder? Also, they have a call to make on Devdutt Padikkal who has largely been ineffective outside of the top three.

Rajasthan Royals (possible Impact Player substitute in italic bold): 1. Jos Buttler (OS), 2. Yashasvi Jaiswal, 3. Devdutt Padikkal, 4. Sanju Samson (c & wk), 5. Shimron Hetmyer (OS), 6. Dhruv Jurel, 7. R Ashwin, 8. Jason Holder/Obed McCoy/Adam Zampa (OS), 9. Trent Boult (OS), 10. Sandeep Sharma, 11. Yuzvendra Chahal, 12. Kuldeep Sen

Despite the shock loss last match, Gujarat look relatively settled.

Gujarat Titans (possible Impact Player substitute in italic bold): 1. Shubman Gill, 2. Wriddhiman Saha (wk), 3. Hardik Pandya (c), 4. Vijay Shankar, 5. David Miller (OS), 6. Abhinav Manohar, 7. Rahul Tewatia, 8. Rashid Khan (OS), 9. Noor Ahmad (OS), 10. Mohammed Shami, 11. Josh Little (OS), 12. Mohit Sharma

IPL 2023 48th match RR vs GT Fantasy tips: Key players to watch & stats

Rajasthan Royals:

  • Jos Buttler is seeking a big knock. In four innings against GT, Buttler has struck 182 runs at an average of 45.50 and strike rate of 151.67.
  • Buttler also has an excellent record at this ground: 12 inns, 501 runs, avg. 50.10, SR 137.26.
  • Yashasvi Jaiswal is in magnificent touch. He is coming off a superb 124* against the MI – one of the great IPL knocks by a young player.
  • Sanju Samson is also in need of a lift. He smashed 60 off 32 in a vital knock against GT earlier this season, where he took the great Rashid Khan apart.
  • Overall in the IPL, Samson has scored 109 off 92 against Rashid (one dismissal).
  • Trent Boult has taken at least one wicket in all but one of his matches so far in IPL 2023. He has largely kept Shubman Gill quiet in the IPL (46 balls, 47 runs, one dismissal) and has dismissed Wriddhiman Saha three times in 22 balls (22 runs).
  • R Ashwin has taken ten wickets in nine matches on this ground at an economy of 7.54 and strike rate of 16.80. However, the offspinner is wicketless in four innings so far against the Titans.

Gujarat Titans:

  • Since the start of 2022, Shubman Gill has scored 138 runs in four innings against RR (avg. 46.00, SR 123.21).
  • If Gill gets through the powerplay, watch out. He has excellent numbers against Ashwin (58 balls, 95 runs, no dismissals) and has been decent against Chahal (35 balls, 38 runs, one dismissal).
  • Hardik Pandya has both the most runs (189) and wickets (6) in RR-GT matches. In fact, Pandya averages 94.50 and strikes at 147.66 with the bat against RR since the start of 2022.
  • Expect Hardik to test Jaiswal with hard lengths in the powerplay. The GT captain dismissed the RR opener earlier this season.
  • Since the start of last season, David Miller has smashed 177 runs at an average of 177.00 and strike rate of 175.25 against RR.
  • Miller has never been dismissed by Boult in T20s (25 balls, 34 runs). Also, he has scored 151 off 108 balls in all T20s against Ashwin (three dismissals) and 96 off 52 against Chahal (three dismissals).
  • Mohammed Shami was out of this world in the powerplay against DC. He dismissed Jos Buttler for a duck earlier this season – watch out for the nip-backer into Buttler early on.
  • Rashid Khan has dominated Jos Buttler in T20 cricket. In 72 deliveries, the legspinner has conceded just 50 runs and dismissed the Englishman four times.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 4, RR 1, GT 3.
  • RR (179/7) beat GT (177/7) by three wickets in a thriller earlier this season.
  • Shimron Hetmyer has scored 2, 3, 8 and 8 in his past four knocks. His last influential innings was a matchwinning effort (56* off 25 balls) against Gujarat Titans.
  • David Miller when batting second in the IPL since the start of 2022: 13 inns, 400 runs, avg. 133.3, SR 150.9.
  • Yuzvendra Chahal has taken just one wicket in his past four matches in IPL 2023.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur Pitch Report and Weather

The teams batting first have won the two matches on this ground so far this season. On April 28, RR were mighty impressive against CSK, winning easily by 32 runs thanks to their total of 202. Jaiswal hit 77 (43) and Jurel performed with 34 (15).

The captain who wins the toss may choose to bat first given dew has not been a huge issue at Jaipur. A hot and mostly clear evening is forecast.

SRH vs KKR Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report IPL 2023 Match 47 | SRH vs KOL Dream11 Prediction Today | Hyderabad Pitch Report

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 47th match of IPL 2023. Both teams have had contrasting results in their last game, and it’s must-win territory given each are aiming to stay in touch with the logjam above them.

SRH won their last encounter against Delhi Capitals (DC) by nine runs in Delhi. They will be pleased with the form of Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen, who batted superbly in thatgame. However, there is room for improvement for Harry Brook, Aiden Markram, and the bowlers, especially Umran Malik, who has been below par thus far.

Meanwhile, KKR are going through a tough time in the league, as they have won just three out of nine games this season. They have failed to fire in tandem in most of the games, which has been their biggest problem. There have been individual flashes of brilliance, but they have lacked a complete team performance.

Both teams need to be consistent now, as any further hiccup can end their campaign.

PBKS vs MI Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report IPL 2023 Match 46 | PBKS vs MI Dream11 Prediction Today | Mohali Pitch Report

Another day, another crucial match in IPL 2023. Punjab Kings (PBKS), who have struck three 200+ totals in a row, meet Mumbai Indians (MI) who are looking to keep the runs in check as they seek to join the bunch of teams currently on ten points.

One of those teams is PBKS, who have performed quite well so far this season. Their last effort was a stirring win over CSK, chasing over 200 thanks to Sikandar Raza’s final ball three to seal a vital victory. If they can display the same fight here, anything is possible in the quest for consistency.

MI are also coming off a super win, also chasing 200+. Tim David was the star, hitting three sixes in the final over to seal the win, sparking comparisons with the great Kieron Pollard. But, the key question for MI is whether they can win if they bat first, and they must do so against a team who beat them by 13 runs earlier this season.
