Royal Challengers vs Titans IPL Final Match Analysis
The last match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad saw the Titans post a score of 229/4 off their 20 overs before dismissing the Chennai Super Kings for just 140. The Titans hit 12 sixes in their innings, with the Super Kings replying with nine.
The seven matches in this season’s IPL played in Ahmedabad have been batting friendly, with an average first innings score just under 190, so we should be in for a runs festival. The pitch usually presents a true surface that offers good pace and bounce to encourage positive stroke-play. There is value in the wicket for the pace bowlers if they remain disciplined and hit a good line and length.
Four of the last five matches between these sides have been won by the side batting first, so both captains might well look at batting first in the final. As both sides have powerful batting units, bowling to defend a big target offers plenty of advantages over batting under the pressure of hitting a big target.
Both sides have strong bowling attacks, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kagiso Rabada sharing top spot on the wickets list with 26 wickets apiece.
Verdict
The Titans are backed to win the final, with Kagiso Rabada worth backing to take two or more wickets.
Virat Kohli is backed to score 35 runs or more, with Shubman Gill my pick to top-score for the Titans.
