RCB vs GT 70th Match Prediction

Betting Tips

RCB Total Sixes - Over 7.5 (1.81)

RCB have some explosive batsmen in their line-up, and the likes of Virat Kohli, Faf Du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell are in excellent form. The Chinnaswamy Stadium doesn’t have the biggest of boundaries. RCB has hit 8 or more 6s in 4 of the 6 matches played here this season, and we can expect them to hit plenty more here.

RCB vs GT Team Previews

Royal Challengers Bangalore

The Royal Challengers Bangalore scored a thumping win over the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their latest fixture, dramatically improving their chances of making the playoffs. RCB is currently fourth on the points table, and a win here will guarantee them a promotion.

However, if they lose here, they will need a couple of other results to go their way.

In the last game, Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis once again proved why they are considered the most destructive opening pair in this year’s IPL. They put up their 3rd-century stand of the season and became the first opening pair to score 1000+ runs in the history of the IPL.

Glenn Maxwell has been equally good at the number 3 slot, scoring runs at a brisk pace. His six-hitting ability could be crucial in this match.

The Royal Challengers' biggest drawback has been the performance of its middle order. Thanks to the brilliant form of the top order, they haven’t had much of a chance to play, and whatever chances they have had, they have failed to perform.

Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Kartik, and Anuj Rawat have all struggled with the bat. As the tournament enters a critical phase, they must step up their game. RCB has no option but to go for it, and we expect the players to play with much freedom.

Mohammed Siraj has bowled some excellent spells with the new ball as well as at the death and is the top wicket-taker for his team. He has received decent support from Wayne Parnell and Harshal Patel.

Karn Sharma and Michael Bracewell are the two spinners on the team and will play an important role here.

Gujarat Titans

The Gujarat Titans are the defending champions for this season and have continued their form from there. They have been the most consistent performers, winning 9 of the 13 matches played so far. They are the first team to qualify for the playoffs and will end up finishing at the top of the table, irrespective of the result here.

Shubhman Gill has, by far, been the most consistent performer with the bat this season. He is the top-scorer for the team with 576 runs and is firmly in the race for the Orange Cap. However, the other batsmen haven’t been that successful.

Wriddhiman Saha has failed to fire quite a few times, putting that extra bit of pressure on his opening partner. The same has been the case with the middle order. They have some quality players like Vijay Shankar, David Miller, and Sai Sudharsan, but their performance has been inconsistent.

To their advantage, the Titans have a lot of depth in their batting, thanks to Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan.

The one thing that GT could do in this match is simply overwhlm RCB with its six-hitting. Miller, Pandya, Tewatia, and Shankar are all capable of clearing the boundaries with ease.

Bowling has been one of the biggest strengths for the team this season. Rashid Khan and Mohammed Shami have been brilliant with the ball and are the two leading wicket-takers of the tournament with 23 wickets each.

They have been well supported by Mohit Sharma and Noor Ahmad, while Alzarri Joseph and Hardik Pandya have chipped in during the middle overs.

Overall, the Titans are pretty well placed and this match provides them a good opportunity to rest some of their key players and give a chance to some of the younger ones to showcase their skills. 

RCB vs GT Toss Prediction

Each of the last 4 matches played here this season has been won while batting first. We, therefore, think that the winner of the toss will likely opt to bat first here. 

Pitch and Conditions

The Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore has produced many high-scoring encounters this season and we expect this to be no different. The average first-inning score here is over 190 runs.

The pitch is flat and even-paced with good bounce. The ball comes nicely onto the bat. The bowlers will need to be very precise with their line and length, or else they will be taken for runs. The ground is hosting a match after a gap of more than 20 days, so we can expect a fresh surface.

There is a forecast of rain here and we can expect some delays or interruptions. 

RCB vs GT Betting Tips

Looking at the form of both teams at the moment, there is little separating the two and we can expect a close contest. While the Titans are already through, the hosts will have to play out of their skins to make it to the next stage. We think that the visitors may rest some of their key players to keep them fresh for the playoffs and that might just give RCB a chance to overcome them.

Bet on the Royal Challengers Bangalore to win here.
