What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
While RCB are all but out of the tournament having won just two of their nine matches, Gujarat Titans have four wins from nine and lie seven on the IPL 2024 points table.
Quick GT vs RCB Preview
Gujarat Titans have hit a bit of a rut and it can be see from how captain Shubman Gill has been way more animated self on and off the field.
While he himself hasn’t been as consistent as he would have liked, Gill has five matches to change that around and lead from the front. If he can double the 304 runs he has scored from the first nine games over the next five, he would have given Gujarat the kind of foundation they have been missing.
What his lack of consistency has done is to allow oppositions to win those narrow-margin games which wasn’t the case till last season. Delhi Capitals, for instance, carved out a narrow four-run victory last match over the Titans even as Sai Sudarshan and David Miller hung on till very late to put up a showing.
Bangalore, on the other hand, are on a plain of their own.
They are all but of playoffs contention but wouldn’t like to finish last and as such they look to have done well to break their six-match losing streak.
It came against a team of the stature of Sunrisers Hyderabad, and in a manner that not too many would have expected. Bangalore opted to bat first there, piled up 206/7 thanks to Rajat Patidar’s 20-ball 50 and then bowled the best they have in a long time.
Not often do you see the likes of Travis Head, AIden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen score a total of 15 runs between them but that’s what happened.
And it was thanks to Karn Sharma’s 2/29 and a very economical spell of bowling from Mohammad Siraj up front.
Can RCB find another way to pull the Titans down too?
