With a slim hope for the eliminators, the Kolkata Knight Riders will take on the Gujarat Titans at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on 16th May, from 7:30 pm onwards. Kolkata Knight Riders need to win the remaining three games to qualify for the knockouts. On the other hand, the Gujarat Titans need just one win to secure a spot in the top four.
After losing the first five games, Kolkata Knight Riders kept themselves alive in the knockout contention with four wins in a row. They won against RR, LSG, SRH, and the Delhi Capitals. All their victories came in away games and while chasing the targets. Though they lost their last game against RCB, they still have chances to qualify for the finals. They are currently 8th in the points table with 9 points
The Gujarat Titans are having a dream run after losing four of their first seven games. In the second half, they are unbeaten with five wins in a row. They are currently in second place with 16 points in 12 games. They need one win to get into the qualifiers. All eyes will be on their bowling unit, who have picked up 39 wickets in the last 4 games.
This will be their second game of the season against each other. In the first game, KKR managed to score 180 runs while batting first. Cameron Green registered 79 runs off 55 balls while Kagiso Rabada picked up three wickets. Ex-KKR & GT skipper Shubhman Gill then scored 86 off 50 to help his team win the game by 5 wickets. This was Gujarat Titans’ third consecutive victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Kolkata Knight Riders Preview
After winning 4 games in a row, the Kolkata Knight Riders suffered a setback in the last game against RCB. A half-century from Angkrish Raghuvanshi (71) & an unbeaten 49-run knock from Rinku Singh helped them put 192 runs on the board. But Virat Kohli’s unbeaten century wiped out the efforts of Krtik Tyagi, who picked up 3 wickets, as KKR saw them losing by 6 wickets.
Ajinkya Rahane and Finn Allen will open the innings. Rahane scored 19 in the last game. Excluding the 67 in the first game, Rahane’s form has dipped this season. He has 170 runs in the remaining 10 innings. Finn Allen has 228 runs for KKR in 8 games at a strike rate of 207.27. He is the only centurion from the squad. Angkrish Raghuvanshi will come in at number three. Raghuvanshi has 2 half-centuries in the last 3 games. He is their leading run-scorer with 340 runs. He will be the batter to watch out for.
Cameron Green will come in the middle with Rinku Singh, Rovman Powell, and Manish Pandey. Green scored 32 runs in the last game. His only half-century came against the Gujarat Titans (79). Rinku Singh has been successful in accelerating the runs in the middle. He scored 49* off 29 balls in the last game to take his run tally to 286 at a strike rate of 149. Powell has played just 5 innings so far and has scored 121 runs.
Kartik Tyagi is having a dream season for KKR. The pacer has picked up 16 wickets in 10 innings, including three in the last game. He will be the bowler to watch out for. KKR will play three spinners - Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, and Anukul Roy. The trio has picked up 29 wickets so far. Vaibhav Arora will help Tyagi in the pace department. He has 11 wickets with an economy of 10.
Why can KKR win this game?
KKR were facing issues with the top order. But they have fixed the problem by bringing Finn Allen to open. Allen has 147 runs in the last 3 games with a century at a strike rate of 210. Their bowlers have taken 35 wickets in the 4 games that they have won. The middle order has scored 359 runs in the last 5 games with a strike rate of 142. The shift from solo performance to team performance might help them win a home game.
Key Players: Kartik Tyagi, Finn Allen, Angkrish Raghuvanshi.
KKR Over/Under Betting Tips
Rinku Singh Total Runs Over 21.5 @ 1.85
Rinku Singh has been on an absolute rampage after an early slump where he has scored 49, 22, 83 and 53 in the last four matches striking at 200. He has a good record at Eden Garden's (632 runs in in 26 innings, averaging 39.5). Given his current run of form, we back Rinku to score 21 runs in today's match.
Angkrish Rahguvanshi Total Runs Over 22.5 @ 1.85
Raghuvanshi scored a fifty in the last game after a little lull in in between and has scores of 71, 1 and 59 in the last three matches. He is someone who can anchor the innings and we expect him to score more than 30.
Kolkata Knight Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Ajinkya Rahane (c), Finn Allen, Cameron Green, Angkrish Raghuvanshi (wk), Rovman Powell, Manish Pandey, Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Anukul Roy, Vaibhav Arora, Kartik Tyagi.

Gujarat Titans Preview
With 5 wins in a row, the Gujarat Titans rose to the number two spot within a span of 15 days. The first three wins came while chasing. But the next two were defended by a huge margin of 77 & 82 runs respectively. They registered a thumping victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game. Sai Sudharsan’s (61) and Washington Sundar’s (50) half-centuries helped them put a respectable total of 168 on the board. Three wickets each from Rabada and Holder helped them restrict SRH to 86.
GT’s opening duo has been its pillar since the last two seasons. Sai Sudarshan has three half-centuries in the last 5 games. Not only GT, but he also rose to the number 2 position in the runs table. He has 501 runs in 12 games with a century and 5 half-centuries. He will be the batter to watch out for. On the other hand, Shubman Gill has 467 runs in 11 games with 4 half-centuries. Jos Butler at number three has scored 355 runs so far at a strike rate of 148. The trio can be dangerous for the KKR bowling attack.
The middle order is a little problematic for the Gujarat Titans. As the top three have scored the majority of the runs, it's just Washington Sundar who has stood out in the middle. He scored a half-century in the last game. He has 296 runs at a strike rate of 152. Rahul Tewatia and Jason Holder have collectively scored 154 runs in 15 innings at a strike rate of 130. If KKR manages to take the top order in the power play, it might get difficult for GT.
The bowlers have been flying high for the Gujarat Titans. They have taken 39 wickets in the last 4 games. Kagiso Rabada and Jason Holder will lead the bowling attack. The duo picked up 3 wickets each in the last game. Rabada is currently the second leading wicket-taker with 21 wickets. He will be the bowler to watch out for. Holder has 13 wickets in 6 games 1ith an economy of 6.35 - the lowest among the bowlers. Rashid Khan and Mohammed Siraj have taken 16 & 13 wickets respectively.
Why can the Gujarat Titans win this game?
Gujarat Titans’ top-order has scored 1322 runs in 12 games with 134 fours and 60 sixes. At the same time, their bowlers have taken 76% wickets in 12 games. The 5-match winning streak has shown their dominance in both chasing and defending. For a team like KKR, currently in 8th place. GT looks like a giant horse.
Key Players: Sai Sudarshan, Jason Holder, Kagiso Rabada.
Gujarat Titans Predicted Playing XI:
Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Nishant Sindhu, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj.
