Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur last IPL match

GT beat RR in their own backyard on Friday [IPLT20]

Gujarat Titans defeated Rajasthan Royals in the last IPL 2023 game hosted at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday, May 5.

After deciding to bat first in Jaipur, RR batters faltered to the pressure created by two Afghani spinners - Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad. While Rashid bagged three scalps, Noor continued to impress and scalped twice in his three overs.

Mohammed Shami, Joshua Little, and Hardik Pandya also accounted for one wicket each as RR were restricted to a subpar score of 118.

Gujarat batters made a mockery of the target when they hunted down 119 runs with 37 balls to spare. Shubman Gill scored 36 off 35 and Wriddhiman Saha remained unbeaten on 41 runs off 34 deliveries. Skipper Hardik Pandya was influential with his blistering knock of 39* off just 15 balls to help GT seal the deal.
