Match Preview

When the IPL 2024 season started, GT were one of the teams everyone backed to finish in the top four. That assumption was based on GT’s record in the last two seasons. They won the coveted title in their inaugural season back in 2022 and made it all the way to the IPL 2023 final as well, where they came up short against eventual champions Chennai Super Kings.

But the season has been nothing short of disappointment for Shubman Gill and co. For the first time in their history, GT are likely to finish the campaign outside the top four. But the positive is that Gill‘s team has the chance to finish the season on a high. They won the last match against Chennai Super Kings by 35 runs, snapping their three-game skid in the process. That means GT can end the season with three wins.

For Kolkata Knight Riders, the only aim in the next two league games is to keep the momentum going before they play the playoff matches. Yes, they are already through to the knockout rounds after winning the home game against Mumbai Indians by 18 runs. The two-time IPL champions are now on 18 points, and they sit at the very top of IPL 2024 power rankings.
