RCB vs GT: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) are preparing for their second encounter in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL). Less than a week has passed since the teams faced off in Ahmedabad, where RCB convincingly defeated the hosts by nine wickets. This time, GT is visiting Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium, aiming for redemption.

In their previous clash, GT posted a competitive total of 200, fueled by Sai Sudharsan’s unbeaten 84 off 49 and Shahrukh Khan’s 30-ball 58. However, despite Will Jacks’ remarkable hundred off just 41 balls and Virat Kohli’s 44-ball 70, RCB emerged victorious in just 16 overs. Despite the win, RCB remains at the bottom of the points table, while GT sits two places ahead in eighth position.

Another loss would effectively end RCB’s chances of making it to the playoffs, having won only three out of their 10 matches in the tournament so far. Conversely, GT has won four out of their 10 matches and will be in a precarious position if they lose the upcoming match.
