IPL 2023 weather update: Jaipur weather report on May 5 for today's RR vs GT clash
No rain interruption is expected when the Rajasthan Royals (RR) square off against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 48th IPL 2023 clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Friday, May 5.
Only two points separate both teams in the IPL 2023 standings. While defending champions GT are atop the table with 12 points from nine matches, the Royals are placed fourth with 10 points.
Hardik Pandya and Co. are coming into the contest on the back of a defeat against the Delhi Capitals (DC). Despite a half-century from their skipper and a brisk cameo from Rahul Tewatia, GT failed to chase down 131 runs, ultimately falling short by five.
Rajasthan have also lost their most recent fixture, going down against the Mumbai Indians (MI). The Royals posted 212 runs, riding on a century from Yashasvi Jaiswal. But the bowlers failed to defend the total as MI chased down the target with three balls to spare.
Both teams will be desperate to return to winning ways and put their campaign back on track.
