Chasing the huge target, Gujarat Titans were under immense pressure from the start, and they ended up losing five wickets inside the powerplay. Sai Sudharsan’s hit-wicket dismissal and Shubman Gill’s cheap outing made things worse. Rahul Tewatia fought hard with a quick 68, but he had no support from the other end; as a result, GT were bowled out for 162.
Jacob Duffy starred with three wickets as RCB sealed a dominant win to make second straight IPL final qualification. However, the 2022 title winners still have one more chance to make it to the summit clash through Qualifier 2. They will face the winner of the Eliminator on May 26 – either Rajasthan Royals (RR) or Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
