The 45th match of IPL 2024 promises an interesting encounter between two teams struggling for consistency - Gujarat Titans (GT) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Here's a quick preview:
Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Date: April 28th
Current Standings:
Gujarat Titans: 7th position, 4 wins in 9 matches
Royal Challengers Bangalore: 10th position, 2 wins in 9 matches
Recent Form:
GT: Lost their last match to Delhi Capitals by a narrow margin of 4 runs. Openers Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha need to fire consistently.
RCB: Upset Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous match, with Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar scoring crucial half-centuries. Their bowling attack, however, remains a concern.
Head-to-Head:
In their limited encounters so far, GT has dominated RCB, winning 2 out of 3 matches.
Key Players to Watch:
GT: Shubman Gill, David Miller, Lockie Ferguson
RCB: Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Harshal Patel
Match Prediction:
This is a tough one to call. GT will have the home advantage, but their inconsistency is a worry. RCB, on a high after their last win, will be looking to cause another upset. Experts are slightly favoring GT, but RCB shouldn't be taken lightly.
