Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans - IPL 2022 Match 35: Who Will Win?

Kolkata Knight Riders Team Preview

The Kolkata Knight Riders got off to a great start in this year's Indian Premier League and they were sitting at the top of the table at one point. However, they have now lost three games on the spin and have dropped to sixth place with six points from seven matches. They will be disappointed with their form, but at least they are still in with a chance of claiming one of the four Play-Off spots.

Their last game was against the Rajasthan Royals, and they went on to lose the match by a mere seven runs. They won the toss and opted to field first, but were hit by a hurricane in the shape of Jos Buttler. The England star smashed his second century of the competition, scoring 103 runs from the 61 balls that he faced. After Buttler had finished and a couple of other RR players had chipped in with some cameos, the KKR were left with a mammoth total of 218 to win the match.

The pick of the bowlers for the KKR was Sunil Narine, which will come as no surprise to anyone who knows anything about cricket. He has a mystery that batsmen just cannot pick, and he can cause all of the top batsman plenty of issues. In the four overs that he bowled, he picked up two wickets and only conceded 21 ones. Shivam Mavi also bowled pretty well, conceding 34 runs from four overs and picking up a wicket. However, Pat Cummins and Andre Russell were expensive, conceding 79 runs from the six overs that they bowled.

When you are online cricket betting, there will usually be a plethora of markets that you can bet on, which is the reason why betting on cricket is so popular now, even for those sports bettors who do not consider themselves to be big cricket fans. There is one market that we really like to bet on, and this the Top Bowler market. The main reason why we love this market is because the odds are really good since it is not an easy type of bet to predict. Thus, if you manage to do so, you will be able to walk away with a lovely profit.

So, who do we think will end up being the best bowler in this game for the KKR? Well, there really is only one player that we would recommend you put your money on, and that is Narine. He is their best bowler and because of the reputation that he has, opposing batsmen always treat him with the respect that he deserves. So, if you are going for such a market, bet on the West Indian.

With such a huge total on the board, the KKR batsmen knew that they would have to go some in order to win the match and claim another two points. They got off to a really poor start when Narine was run out in the first over, but a 107-run partnership between Aaron Finch and Shreyas Iyer put the KKR ahead of the required run rate. The Aussie scored 58 from 28 balls, while the captain scored 85 from 51 balls. However, four wickets in an over by Yuzvendra Chahal put the game just out of the reach of the KKR.

Whenever you are IPL betting, there is one market that we really recommend you try out every now and then and this is the Top Batsman market. If you have been following our predictions closely, then you will know that we do very well when it comes to picking the top batsman for a team. So, who do we think will top score for the KKR against the GT?

Well, we would have to go for S. Iyer since he has been in some really good form as of late. In the seven matches that he has played in during this year's IPL, he has scored 236 runs at an average of 39.33. If you do not agree with this prediction, then maybe you should consider putting your money on Finch as he showed in the last game that he is getting back to his best form.

What about any changes to the playing XI for the KKR? Well, Cummins keeps getting picked, but he also keeps getting shipped around the park. In the four matches that he has bowled in, he has bowled 15.5 overs and has gone for 190 runs, giving him a bowling average of 47.50 and an economy of 12.00. Thus, we would not be surprised if he is dropped for this game - maybe New Zealand's Tim Southee will come in and take his place.

Gujarat Titans Team Preview

The Gujarat Titans are definitely enjoying their first season in the Indian Premier League - they currently sit at the top of the table with 10 points from their first six matches. In addition to this, they also have the best Net Run Rate out of all the teams, and the NRR is something that could end up deciding whether a team makes it to the Play-Offs or not.

In their last match, they took on the CSK and won the game by three wickets. They won the toss and opted to field first, and they restricted the CSK to 169 runs from their 20 overs. It would have been an awful lot less than this had it not been for a great 73 from 48 balls from Ruturaj Gaikwad and a quick-fire 46 from Ambati Rayudu. The pick of the bowlers for the GT was Alzarri Joseph, who collected two wickets for 34 runs from his four overs. Mohammed Shami also bowled really well, picking up a wicket and conceding only 20 runs.

All of the top IPL betting sites will allow you to place money on the player that you think will finish as the Top Bowler and, if you want to chance your arm at this type of bet, then we suggest that you place your money on Khan. The young Afghanistan spinner is already and IPL legend and has been causing all the best batsmen in the world a lot of issues for many years now. So, betting on him will give you a good chance of making a nice profit.

With just 169 runs to chase, the GT would have been really confident of carrying on with their great start to the tournament. However, they got off to a really bad start and found themselves 16/3 with just 3.5 overs on the board. This soon became 87/5 with just over seven overs left to play. However, David Miller smashed 94* from 51 balls, and Khan chipped in with 40 runs from 21 balls to see their side over the line with one ball to spare.

If you want to make an IPL prediction on the Top Batsman for the GT against the KKR, then who would we recommend you put your money on? Well, we think that it is a wise move to put some money on Miller. The South African had a bit of a slot start in this tournament, but he seems to be back to his best, and we can see him putting in another quality showing in this match.

Will the GT make any changes to their playing XI? Well, the players that have been playing have got them to the top of the table, so it would be unfair to make any unforced changes. Thus, we expect to see the same XI take to the field on Saturday.

Toss Prediction

The coin toss has played a big role in determining who has the advantage in a match, which is why the captain that wins the toss has often opted to field first. This is because dew has been an issue in most matches, so the winning captain opts to field first so that his bowlers do not have to bowl with a wet ball. So, the toss prediction has become pretty simple to say the least - you can be 95% sure that the captain that wins the toss will decide to field first.

Pitch Conditions

This match will be played at the DY Patil Stadium, which is a venue that has an average first innings score of 175. The team that is chasing at this venue has a 60% chance of winning the match, which is another reason why we are sure that the winner of the toss will decide to bowl first. The team that has to bat first will be looking to put at least 190 runs on the board to give themselves a very good chance of being victorious.
