Team Analysis
Gujarat Titans
In chasing the massive target of 225 runs, Gujarat Titans lost the wicket of their captain Shubman Gill early, but the enterprising fifties from Sai Sudharsan and David Miller kept them in the contest until they lost their wickets in quick succession, losing the contest by four runs to Delhi Capitals. Earlier, every bowler got smashed for GT during DC’s innings, except for Sandeep Warrier, who picked up three wickets in his spell.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Conclusion
Gujarat Titans have far from being a consistent team in the IPL 2024, which is a stark contrast to their two consecutive appearances in the final in the last two seasons. But still, they have a decent chance of getting the better of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who are in the midst of their struggles in the tournament thus far.
