Preview
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will compete against Gujarat Titans in the 52nd match of the IPL 2024 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. After steamrolling GT in the reverse fixture a couple of days ago at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, RCB have picked up their form in the IPL, but still, it seems highly unlikely that they will qualify through to the playoffs. Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans have the opportunity to put things right against Royal Challengers Bengaluru after receiving a humbling at the hands of them recently in the IPL 2024.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru have been very conducive for the batting lineups to post a total way in excess of 200 runs during the IPL 2024. With that, the average first-inning score of 174 at this venue in tournament history isn’t proving to be enough for teams to compete with, especially for the hosts RCB, who have been guilty of conceding big totals in the ongoing IPL edition.
Team Analysis
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Will Jacks was in sensational touch in the second half of his hundred, putting the Gujarat Titans bowlers to the sword, helping Royal Challengers Bengaluru chase down a 200-run total with four overs to spare alongside the ever-reliable Virat Kohli in the IPL 2024. On the bowling side of things, despite conceding a big total earlier in the match against GT, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal, and Swapnil Singh had bowled good spells for RCB.

Faf du Plessis (c), Glenn Maxwell, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, Suyash Prabhudessai, Will Jacks, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Manoj Bhandage, Mayank Dagar, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Cameron Green, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Tom Curran, Lockie Ferguson, Swapnil Singh, Saurav Chauhan.
Gujarat Titans
Sai Sudharsan has established himself as one of the most reliable batters in the ongoing season of the IPL, and his 86-run partnership alongside Shahrukh Khan was quite impressive in ensuring that GT had a 200-run total on the board. But, the likes of Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, R Sai Kishore, and Mohit Sharma got the tap from the likes of Virat Kohli and Will Jacks, which meant that they lost the contest to RCB by a big margin.

Conclusion
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been in good form in their last few matches of the IPL 2024, which is why they are looking like favourites to get the better of Gujarat Titans once more in the IPL 2024.
