Both GT and RR are aiming to enter their third IPL final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI think there was a little bit (of help) in that wicket. It\u2019s got some tennis ball bounce. So, trying to hang as much as possible in and around that area, and then adjust accordingly. That\u2019s always key, bowling is about line and length. The more you miss your line and length, the more you decrease your chances of getting a wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>RR, powered by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi\u2019s 96, Ravindra Jadeja\u2019s attacking 45, and Donovan Ferreira\u2019s late blitz of 38 not out, have set GT a daunting target of 215 if they are to enter the IPL 2026 final, where they will face defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

I think the ball is coming onto the bat quite decently. They scored 214 runs, so that tells you that the ball is coming on pretty decently. But you still have to bat well. You still have to form some good partnerships, and then that\u2019s the way to chase this total.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
