Pitch Report
Its a large ground with medium size boundaries in front of the wicket and long boundaries square of the wicket. The pitch possesses true bounce and has aided pacers. Batting 1st or 2nd has a huge outcome on the match, Teams prefer to chase her and some unrealistic targets have been chased down in international as well in IPL

Dependable Picks for Rario D3 Predictions
Batter 1 & 2
Liam Livingstone and Shubman Gill (OG Batter 1)
Again going by the thumb rule, a top-order batter should be your blind pick in D3. Shubman Gill has been piling up runs in all 3 formats at the international level for the past 8 months and has scored 7 100s. He also improved his T20 game and registered his 1st T20I 100 on the same venue against New Zealand not so long ago. He started his campaign with a magnificent 64 against CSK with some exquisite shots. He failed against Delhi and slowed down after PP against KKR but he still your best bet other than Sai Sudharashan who had back to back 50s to his name and Vijay Shankar who has impressed one and all with his fiery 50 in last match.
Livingstone had a magnificent season last year for Punjab and was their mainstay in batting with 437 runs at a humongous SR of 182. Moreover, he is a deadly asset with the ball and can bowl both off and leg spin at his will.
Bowler 1 & 2
Rashid Khan and Nathan Ellis
Rashid Khan should be your automatic choice and probably the 1st pick in D3. He is arguably the greatest T20 bowler with more than 500 wickets. He is the only bowler to take 15+ wkts in 7 consecutive seasons. Moreover, he adds immense value to the bat. Even in last match was worst according to his standards, he managed to take a hattrick and almost swung the game in GT’s favour
Ellis took a 4 wkt haul a game before, he is being preferred above Kagiso Rabada who has 68 wkts since 2020. Arshdeep is also a better option in this regard since he has been striking regularly in Powerplay.
Last 2 picks
David Miller should be a no-brainer in D3. GT has been boosted by his addition and he did what he does best in the game against Delhi. Only Pollard has more runs than him at a better SR batting at 5 or below in IPL. Whereas in intls, the same record belongs to him. GT got away by not sending him at the right time in last match because of Shankar’s heroics.
Sam Curran
Another obvious choice, probably the 2nd automatic pick after Rashid in D3. One of the finest all-rounders in the league. Sam Curran’s return to intl cricket after a long hiatus was nothing less than a dream. Since his comeback, he has scalped 26 wkts from 17 games and was MoM in the final as well as MoS in T20 WC
Match Predictions for Rario D3 predictions
Gujarat have been rocked by a freak Rinku Singh finish in the last game but they look more settled on paper and on field than Punjab. Should take away 2 points from this fixture.

Pitch Report
One of the fastest outfields and a high scoring ground. Last year 2 playoff games were held here and both were a run fest. Teams will opt to bowl 1st given the dew factor and short boundaries. The new ball could do some tricks early on as history suggests.

Dependable Picks for Rario D3 Predictions
Batter 1 & 2
Venkatesh Iyer and Aiden Markram (OG batter 4)
Again going by the thumb rule, a top order batter should be your blind pick in D3. Iyer was a revelation in the 2nd half of 2021 IPL where he was promoted as an opener and gave KKR scintillating starts every time. That made KKR retain him and he also earned an India call up in both formats.
He scored a match winning 80 odd in last game and set a perfect platform.
Our pick should be the SRH skipper who led the Sunrisers team in SA 20 to the championship. He has been in surreal form lately with a 100 in all 3 formats and has an SR of 150 for his national side. In addition to that, he is a handy off-spinner.
Bowler 1 & 2
Sunil Narine and Umran Malik
We have the liberty of choice given the depth of the bowling attack of SRH in D3. Umran Malik holds the record of most wkts by a pacer in middle overs in a season.
Arguably one of the greatest T20 bowlers in the history of the game and it should be more than obvious to have him in D3. Season after season he has proved to be MVP for KKR and has also contributed immensely with the bat. sunil Narine has close to 500 wickets at an eco of 5.99. Last season he had the best economy with 5,57.
Last 2 picks
Andre Russell and Harry Brook
Andre Russell has been MVP twice and one can earn heavy points with his contribution with the bat and ball. He has an astonishing SR of 177 with over 2K runs. No one has scored more runs than him at a better SR. He also holds the record of hitting 50+ sixes in a season along with Gayle. He has gifted wkts cheaply in the last 2 games but we never rule him out given his caliber and his match-changing abilities.
Though he has been disappointing so far in the 3 games he has played you cannot overlook someone like Harry Brook with over 2k runs at an SR of 150 in the format. He is the biggest match-winner on his day. He might continue to open and can have the same effect as Buttler had for Rajasthan.
Match Predictions for Rario D3 predictions
Nobody gave KKR a chance after all the injuries and their performance in the 1st game but they have fought back strong and now have the momentum with them. KKR could take away 2 points from here given the contest between their spinners and SRH batters.
