Gujarat Titans who are on top of the points currently will be facing Royal Challengers Bangalore at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai. RCB will be down on confidence after losing their last two games by a big margin but this match might be crucial for them in the context of qualifying for Playoffs in this IPL.

Virat Kohli's form has been a huge concern for RCB but the team management will be expecting everyone to perform at their full potential to defeat a side like Gujarat and stay ahead in this Playoff race. Gujarat despite winning 7 out of 8 games have some issues to be sorted in their fragile batting department and they will look out on key areas to rectify before they qualify for IPL 2022 knockouts.
