Gujarat will be keen to make their maiden campaign a memorable one, while Rajasthan will be eyeing a second silverware, as both franchises meet in the Indian T20 League 2022 final on Sunday. Both teams have met twice this season, with Gujarat winning both matches. With the final played at Narendra Modi Stadium, the Hardik Pandya-led team will have the support of home fans.
We look at five exciting First Games fantasy cricket Match-Ups in the Indian T20 League 2022 final.
D MILLER vs R KHAN
With his 38-ball 68* against Rajasthan, David Miller once again proved why he is rated so highly in T20 cricket. It has been a brilliant campaign for the South African, who has made 449 runs so far in the 15th edition. Rashid Khan was impressive in the Qualifier despite not picking up a wicket. He kept the batters at bay, conceding just 15 runs in his four overs. The Afghanistan international is likely to win the Match-Up on Sunday.
Average fantasy points (per match) in 2022 season:
D Miller - 43.60; R Khan - 46.40
Y CHAHAL vs M SHAMI
Yuzvendra Chahal went wicketless for the second game in a row after finishing 0/45 in four overs in the Qualifier 2. He needs a solitary wicket to win the Purple Cap this season. Meanwhile, Mohammed Shami registered figures of 1/43 in Gujarat's last outing. The pacer is two wickets away from 100 scalps in Indian T20 League. Chahal could bag more fantasy points than the Gujarat bowler.

The 37-year-old, who took ten catches and effected two stumpings, has the upper hand against Gill.
