IPL playoffs: GT beat RR by 6 wickets to reach the Finals!

Match number 71 of Tata IPL 2022 sees Rajasthan Royals take on Gujarat Titans in the IPL Playoffs Qualifier 1 at the Eden Gardens Stadium.

GT now relax and see whom they’ll face in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on 29th May.

This performance earns him yet another player of the match award.

Earlier, Jos Buttler went bang bang in the final few overs to take RR to 188/6.

Rajasthan Royals do have another shot at reaching the final, when they face the winner of RCB and LSG on 27th May at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

They needed 16 runs of the final over but, they needed just 4 of them to finish of the match in style.

After a nightmare start, losing Saha early, GT have bounced back brilliantly to go on and win the match.

It was the Killer Miller show who has powered the GT through to the Tata IPL 2022 finals. He brought up his 50 in just 35 balls. A 103 run partnership between him and GT skipper Hardik Pandya.

A big big win for Gujarat Titans.

Second Innings Live Updates (GT Batting)

Remember, winner of this match gets a direct ticket to the Final. Will GT be able to chase down this massive score? Let’s find out.

Sanju Samson came out and starting smashing the bowlers all over the place. His injected pace into the innings and later on Buttler showed us why exactly he is the Orange Cap Holder.

Rashid Khan was at the top of his form too, giving away just 15 runs in his 4 overs, while other bowlers went for 173!

Buttler top scored with 89(56), albeit having been given multiple opportunities due to dropped catches by the GT fielders.

Rajasthan Royals have put up a very good score on a dry wicket.
