The Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be locking horns with the Gujarat Titans at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday, April 2. The two sides have faced each other at this ground twice so far, with both winning one game each.
RCB has won its last two matches and has been successful in chasing and defending, respectively. For RCB, this will be their first game at home, and they will be excited to play in front of their fans, who are expected to turn up in huge numbers. The Rajat Patidar-led team has looked clinical this season, making sure they cover all the boxes. With most players turning up in crucial times, RCB has earned the rewards for it.
Meanwhile, the Gujarat-based franchise had a promising yet disappointing start to the season. Playing Punjab Kings at home, the side was hammered for 243 runs in their allotted overs that night, courtesy of Shreyas Iyer, Priyansh Arya, and Shashank Singh. Notably, GT gave a tough fight till the end but was restricted to 232, eventually losing the game by 11 runs. However, in their last game against the Mumbai Indians, they finished on the winning side and did so, thanks to their brilliance in both the batting and bowling departments.
