Rajasthan Royals are going to face the table toppers Gujarat Titans in order to determine who will lead the IPL points table after today’s match in the ongoing edition of the tournament. Both teams have played 9 matches each. Gujarat has won 6 of its matches while Rajasthan has won 5 so far. Whichever teams win will lead the IPL points table after the match.
The match is going to be played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Rajasthan Royals will field their best 11 as no one from their squad is injured or on leave. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans will miss the Irish pacer Joshua Little who has been an integral part of their bowling attack.
The left arm pacer has picked 5 wickets in IPL so far at an economy of 8.5. He has bowled the difficult overs for his team without conceeding too many runs. Joshua Little is going to leave the tournament as Ireland is all set to play an ODI series against Bangladesh. The series is important for Ireland as their chances of qualifying for the World Cup depends on it.
This presents an opportunity for Dasun Shanaka to finally make a debut in IPL. However, the final decision would be taken by the Gujarat Titans management before today’s match.
