Royal Challengers Bengaluru will look to capitalise on the momentum and inflict a double blow on Gujarat Titans on Saturday.
IPL 2024, RCB vs GT IPL Highlights: Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titans: Faf du Plessis smashed 64 runs as Royal Challengers Bengaluru outclassed Gujarat Titans to move to the 7th spot in the points table. Chasing the 148-run target, RCB were off to a flyer courtesy of Du Plessis and Virat Kohli's (42) explosive batting in the powerplay. However, they lost wickets in quick succession after the powerplay, which gave the Titans some hope. But Dinesh Karthik (21*) and Swapnil Singh (15*) held their nerves to seal the deal for RCB. Earlier, Gujarat Titans, preyed on by a sporting pitch, accurate Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowlers and their own inhibitions, laboured to a modest 147 all out....Read More
Yash Dayal was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped two wickets, conceding just 21 while Mohammed Siraj also bagged two. Cameron Green, Vijaykumar Vyshak and Karn Sharma claimed one wicket each.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and elected to bowl against Gujarat Titans in Bengaluru. Faf du Plessis and Co. decided to go with the same XI from the last match, while the Titans made a couple of changes as Manav Suthar made his debut while Joshua Littles got his first match of the season.
RCB and GT are both clinging to hopes of securing a coveted playoff berth as they meet on Saturday in Bengaluru. With just a handful of matches remaining, their fate hangs in the balance as they prepare to battle on Saturday; while RCB are at the bottom of the points table with only three wins so far, Titans are only marginally better with four wins.
Despite their dismal standings, the faltering performances of heavyweights like Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals, both with ten points each, have provided a glimmer of hope to both sides. For RCB, recent victories have injected a much-needed dose of confidence into their ranks, with skipper Faf du Plessis leading from the front with inspired performances in their last two outings.
Emerging talents like Will Jacks and Cameron Green have stepped up to the occasion, showcasing their potential to be match-winners in their own right. However, RCB's success hinges not only on their batting prowess but also on the consistency of their bowling unit. While stalwarts like Virat Kohli continue to pile on the runs, the onus falls on the likes of Mohammed Siraj and Yash Dayal to tighten their lines and deliver crucial breakthroughs when it matters most.
On the flip side, the Gujarat Titans find themselves grappling with a host of issues, both with bat and ball. Despite the form of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan at the top of the order, GT's middle and lower order have failed to fire consistently, leaving the team vulnerable in crunch situations.
The lacklustre performance of marquee players like David Miller and Rahul Tewatia has only compounded their woes, triggering concerns about the team's batting depth. Similarly, the bowling department has struggled to make an impact, with star spinner Rashid Khan enduring a forgettable campaign thus far. With just eight wickets to his name across ten matches, Khan's lack of penetration has exposed GT's inability to apply pressure on opposition batters.
As the stakes continue to rise, time is running out for both RCB and GT and from here on, every match is a must-win game for them. The margin of errors is dwindling, and both teams will look to produce their best cricket as they meet in Bengaluru tonight.
