For the most part, the Titans didn't put a foot wrong, but the individual brilliance of Tristan Stubbs and Shubman Gill, accompanied by supporting roles from Marcus Stoinis and Ravindra Jadeja, pushed the Royals to an imposing total on a rank turner. Yuzvendra Chahal and Lalit Yadav made the most of these conditions, with Cameron Green chipping in with three crucial wickets of his own, but the lack of raw pace of either Haris Rauf or Mayank Yadav hampered the Titans, who had their woes worsened furthermore by AM Ghazanfar ghosting completely in the big game. With a target of 281 set for the home team, a scintillating second innings chase awaits Ahmedabad.


Target: Gujarat Titans need 281 runs to win

Indian One-Day Championship returns to a playoffs postseason, and the Rajasthan Royals make it to the finals yet again!

A wonderful win for the two-time champions who pulled things back massively in a contest which swung both ways with every passage of play, but ultimately, the nerves of a more experienced side squeaked out victory in this all-important qualifier. The Royals will once again be playing the final of the Indian One-Day Championship, and for the second time, they will be the ones hosting it. Much to ponder over for the Titans, who had the game well within their grasp but let it slip away from their fingertips.

Code:
RAJASTHAN ROYALS     280       49.4 overs
GUJARAT TITANS       263       48.2 overs

Rajasthan Royals won by 17 runs

Player of the Match: Ravindra Jadeja (Rajasthan Royals)

 
Brilliant brilliant win which was set up by the batters but the bowlers had to sweat equally hard for the result to favor us!

Stoinis was pure gold throughout the match and for Jaddu I really have no words to express. He is such an asset for us and has been right from the start! I just hope Varun Chakravarthy has been saving his best for the last on whom we have really high hopes from. He has been good thus far but in some matches he has been off color. The final hopefully will be his match!

One more win, one more! The third title and the beautiful IODC trophy will once again be ours! Very happy with how all the players have stepped up so far and have performed their roles to perfection thus far.

The biggest plus for us going into the finale will be Shaheen Shah Afridi and Kagiso Rabada who will be absolutely raring to go being fresh with the two games rest.

Let's do it one more time!

Qualifier 2

4gHEATy.png
Gujarat Titans vs
PXunvU4.png
Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad

Pitch: :right::left: Dry/Slow
Injuries: None

Statistics

Available on respective team pages.

Lineup Rules

Please mark your keeper (:arwk:/:wk:) and a minimum of six bowlers (:arwk:/:ar:/:bwl:)
Please take a careful look at player injuries before submitting your lineup
You can have a maximum of four overseas (:os:) players in your lineup

Pitch Types (by @VC the slogger)

:bwl::down: Damp/Sticky - Massively in favor of bowlers and an absolute nightmare to bat on, unless you're Victor Trumper.
:left::right: Dusty - Plenty of turn on offer for spinners and a good place to bat for spin-savvy batsmen. Good pace bowlers are still likely to thrive.
:ar::up: Even - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines of the game.
:bat::left: Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.
:bwl::up: Green - A lot of movement on offer early on, making it ideal for fast bowlers. Batting expected to become easier as the match progresses.
:ar::left: Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way.
:right::left: Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.
:down::down: Poor - Uneven bounce and a huge amount of turn on offer for spinners. Expect a slow hard grind for very few runs.

Deadline

48 hours: failure to submit lineup within given deadline will likely result in auto-selection.

@Aravind. @Neptune
 
The dry pitch is so hard to pick for; but Gopal does come in. He's been so off colour this season after being an excellent servant for us over the years, just need him to show up for this match.
Really want to include Nicholas Pooran somehow; but everyone in the top 6 has earnt their spot.

Cameron Green played extremely well to take the Titans' score into competitive territory, which, without him, would've been damn near-impossible for the Titans to achieve. Titans lost two of their top-three batters cheaply, but were somewhat rescued from a calamity of greater measures by Rachin Ravindra, who raced away to a Sehwag-esque fifty and breathed life into Titans' innings. His half-century, followed by a brief albeit commanding stay from Steven Smith kept the Titans in the hunt for a big score. It wasn't until Marco Jansen's one-two combo in the 33rd over of the innings that the tides turned massively in favor of the Royal Challengers, but even still, Cameron Green kept the scoreboard ticking and dragged the Titans to a fighting total despite batting the second half of his innings almost exclusively alongside the Titans' stretched-out tail.

Green's knock has poised this game evenly, setting the Royal Challengers up for a tricky chase second playoff in a row, only this time, a shot at the final stares at them.


Target: Royal Challengers Bengaluru need 210 runs to win


@Aravind. @Neptune
 
Disappointing batting performance, with the kind of form Sai is in, it's more than disappointment to see him fail at playoffs twice. We have the bowlers suitable for this pitch, need heroics from Chahal, Ghazanfar & co.
 
Will absolutely take that, our bowlers are proving why they are amongst the best unit in the league with every game. Everyone did their job, now its time for one or two batsmen to make a big score and take us home

Cameron Green played extremely well to take the Titans' score into competitive territory, which, without him, would've been damn near-impossible for the Titans to achieve. Titans lost two of their top-three batters cheaply, but were somewhat rescued from a calamity of greater measures by Rachin Ravindra, who raced away to a Sehwag-esque fifty and breathed life into Titans' innings. His half-century, followed by a brief albeit commanding stay from Steven Smith kept the Titans in the hunt for a big score. It wasn't until Marco Jansen's one-two combo in the 33rd over of the innings that the tides turned massively in favor of the Royal Challengers, but even still, Cameron Green kept the scoreboard ticking and dragged the Titans to a fighting total despite batting the second half of his innings almost exclusively alongside the Titans' stretched-out tail.

Green's knock has poised this game evenly, setting the Royal Challengers up for a tricky chase second playoff in a row, only this time, a shot at the final stares at them.

Fifty for Yashasvi Jaiswal. This is truly one of the most incredible fifties you are ever likely to see. With his team backed against the wall, Jaiswal went on the offensive and took the Titans' attack head on, racing his way to a wonderful half-century and bringing Bengaluru's chase back from the dead. An innings for the ages from Jaiswal.

Kane Williamson's snaillike antics continue, but they stem from a place of necessity more than anything else.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru surge to victory after fighting tooth and nail for it, propelling themselves into the Indian One-Day Championship Final against the two-time champions. It was a tough run chase made all the more tricky by the Gujarat Titans, but in the end the overly-cautious approach of Kane Williamson, coupled with Yashasvi Jaiswal's blistering counterattack and a crucial 46 from Harry Brook, as well as a couple of lusty blows from Shams Mulani, sees the Royal Challengers become Indian One-Day Championship finalists for the first time ever. Gujarat Titans should be very proud of their efforts despite boasting such a young squad, especially considering the shortcomings of their franchise in the last two seasons. They were dominant throughout but in the end, they lacked the experience to pull through in difficult circumstances.

The Rajasthan Royals will brace themselves as they prepare to host the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian One-Day Championship Final at Sawai Mansingh.

Code:
GUJARAT TITANS       209       45.0 overs
ROYAL CHALLENGERS    210/5     44.3 overs

Royal Challengers Bengaluru won by 5 wickets (with 33 balls remaining)

Player of the Match: Yashasvi Jaiswal (Royal Challengers Bengaluru)

 
Incredible result, we are really peaking at the right time here; winning 3 away games in a row especially this one against the table toppers.
Jaiswal is simply generational, at 5cr our best buy ever for sure
