Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Gujarat Titans, 70th Match 21st May 7.30 PM IST

Venue: M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru

It is the 70th and last league game of the Indian Premier League 2023. Hosts Royal Challengers Bangalore will look for a win against the table-toppers Gujarat Giants to secure a place in the playoffs.
RCB come here with a great win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, and their batsmen are in good form. The Titans are through to the next round with their win against SRH and shall look to build momentum ahead of the playoffs.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore have batted well this season and have their Top-3 in excellent form. However, the middle and lower middle order have been inconsistent, which creates problems for the side.
The Gujrat Titans have their batsmen and bowlers in good form, and they will face less pressure in this contest. Given the stakes involved for RCB, we expect a close contest.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Preview
Two big wins have put Faf du Plessis’ side in a strong position. It was a clinical performance from their batsmen in the last game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, where they chased down a big score,
winning by 8 wickets. As they take on the table toppers, du Plessis would like to see a determined effort from his players and book a berth in the playoffs.

Gujarat Titans Preview
Hardik Pandya’s side is through to the playoffs. They defeated the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 34 runs in the last game and have ensured themselves of the top position on the points table.
Pandya would like to use this opportunity to build momentum ahead of the playoffs. He will need a strong show from his bowlers, as the Royal Challengers’ top order has been murderous.

Pitch Report
A placid pitch, fast outfield, and shorter boundaries make M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, one of the best T20 venues in the world. We have seen several high-scoring encounters at this venue,
and batsmen find it easy to play on this surface where there is little support for the bowlers.
