RCB vs GT Team Previews
Royal Challengers Bangalore
Bangalore are still at the very bottom of the 10-team points table, but have managed to put six successive defeats behind them with back-to-back victories over the Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad recently. It is going to take a lot for them to get it right, but Bangalore could stay in the hunt for a maiden IPL title.
Virat Kohli was recently overtaken by Chennai's Ruturaj Gaikwad as the leading run-scorer in this year's IPL. Kohli, though, is still this season's top run-scorer for RCB with exactly 500 in 10 innings at an average of 71. Faf du Plessis and Dinesh Karthik have been decent in support of Kohli.
Yash Dayal's eight wickets this IPL season and six each from Mohammed Siraj and Cameron Green shows Bangalore have been reliant on their seam bowlers. Siraj should be full of confidence in this match after being named in India's squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup recently.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Playing 11
Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Will Jacks, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik, Swapnil Singh, Karn Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal, Vyshak Vijaykumar.
Gujarat Titans
The Titans, who won the IPL title in 2022, have just two wins to show for their last five matches this year. They will be hard pressed against opposition they lost to by nine wickets a few days ago. Let's see if Gujarat can keep fighting and eventually sneak into the top half of the standings.
Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill have been the Titans' most prolific run-scorers in the 2024 IPL. Sudharsan hit 84 not out against RCB recently and, before that, 65 against the Delhi Capitals. Gill, meanwhile, will again want to lead by example with the bat as the captain.
Mohit Sharma has taken 10 wickets for Gujarat in this season's IPL. But his last few matches have been costly. He is averaging 36 with an economy rate of 11. Rashid Khan has been relatively consistent en route to eight wickets in the 2024 IPL and remains one of the best leg-spinners at the tournament.
Gujarat Titans Playing 11
Shubman Gill, WP Saha, Sai Sudharsan, Shahrukh Khan, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Manav Suthar, Noor Ahmad, Mohit Sharma, Joshua Little.

Pitch and Conditions
This venue has produced first-innings totals of 176, 181, 182 and 287 this season. It is a relatively high-scoring ground compared to some others in India. A first-innings score of 180-plus can be considered competitive.
Both teams will likely play two specialist spinners. Dew could be a factor, especially in the second innings. No rain is forecast in Bengaluru on matchday.
RCB vs GT Betting Tips
Bangalore have more momentum than Gujarat after winning two matches in a row. The Royal Challengers also have homeground advantage and a more formidable batting collective.
Bet on 1.85 favourites Bangalore Royal Challengers to beat 1.95 underdogs Gujarat Titans.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Kohli has already scored 500 runs in the 2024 IPL and will go into this match after hitting a commanding 70 not out against the Titans recently. He knows how to score quickly in Bengaluru.
Siraj is averaging a wicket per match in Bengaluru this IPL season. But at such a crucial juncture in the tournament, he is in a promising position to take even more this time. Siraj is in solid form.
Bet on the home side to win the toss. There is a 50 percent chance they will get this right. If RCB win the toss, it's probable they will choose to bowl first.
Sudharsan's 84 not out against RCB did not bring GT victory recently, but it showed he can put in another big knock against the same opposition. Anticipate a telling performance from Sudharsan.
Rashid Khan hasn't taken a wicket in his last two IPL matches, but he is much better than that. Khan is primed for a good performance in challenging circumstances, especially if Mohit does not perform well enough again.
