It hasn’t been a progressive season for either RCB or GT as both teams have had a mixed bag of results so far in the tournament. In the upcoming 45th match, the stage is set for a riveting encounter between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans, slated to be played at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. 

RCB fought tooth and nail to secure a crucial win in their last outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad after enduring a string of six consecutive defeats. The victory also provided them with a much-needed boost in confidence. However, going into this game, they will be up against a formidable spin attack led by Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad. RCB will rely on the batting performance of Rajat Patidar, Virat Kohli and Cameron Green, who were magnificent in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, taking the team to a 35-run win. 

On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have been a rollercoaster of inconsistency. Despite making great efforts, they have struggled to find stability and momentum throughout the tournament. Titans are on the seventh place in the points table with four victories out of nine games. GT will look to turn the tide in their favour and expect their middle-order batters to step up and deliver. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have led the attack for them, meanwhile other batters have failed to live up to the expectations.
