GT vs RCB Match Prediction: IPL 2024 Match 45, Who Will Win Today’s IPL Match?

GT vs RCB Match Prediction: Following two defeats in the last three matches, Gujarat Titans (GT) will be looking to get their season back on track when they host Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, April 28, 2024. GT came agonizingly close to winning the last match but ended up losing by four runs against Delhi Capitals. However, RCB finally tasted victory for the first time in seven matches when they downed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 35 runs in the last encounter.

GT vs RCB Match Details

Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report

The Narendra Modi Stadium is one of the most balanced pitches in India, as both batsmen and bowlers can have phases where they are seemingly at the top. The last match at this venue, however, was a complete anomaly as GT were pushed to the walls and managed to score just 89 runs, losing out to Delhi Capitals. This is not typical for the batters. It was a failure from GT’s batsmen that saw them buckle for a meager total. So expect normalcy to resume in this game when Shubman Gill‘s team entertains Faf du Plessis‘ players. Whoever bats first in this game should score in excess of 180 runs.

GT vs RCB Head-To-Head Record

This will only be the 4th meeting between Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. GT won twice in those meetings, while RCB won the other one.
Take a look at this interesting fact: Both of GT‘s win came away in Bangalore, while RCB’s sole victory came at the Narendra Modi Stadium. SO neither of the two teams haven’t won a home game against each other. Will the trend continue?

Last Meeting Between GT vs RCB

Best Batters And Bowlers

GT Probable highest scorer: Shubman Gill or Sai Sudarshan

Gill is GT’s highest run scorer

Shubman Gill piled up an incredible 890 runs during the course of IPL 2023, winning the Orange Cap as well. More or less, that was the expectation from the 24-year-old when the current season kicked off, but he hasn’t been up to the mark completely, scoring just 2 fifty-plus scores in 9 innings in IPL 2024. However, one can’t overlook his immense qualities as a batter, and it’s only a matter of time before the former KKR opener gets back to his marauding best.

Sai Sudarshan is a future superstar of Indian cricket who has taken his game to whole new and uncharted territories. The 22-year-old has been so good that he has outscored the likes of Shubman Gill and David Miller, piling up the most runs for GT with 334 runs in nine innings. He is in red-hot form and should be in your GT vs RCB Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Teams.

Kohli is leading the run charts in IPL 2024

RCB Probable Highest Scorer: Virat Kohli or Faf du Plessis

Virat Kohli is doing Virat Kohli things in IPL 2024, piling up runs and leading the scoring charts. After another half-century in the last match against SRH, Kohli has taken his runs tally to 430 runs for the current season. He is definitely one player to have in GT vs RCB Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Teams.

Faf du Plessis is the 2nd highest scorer for RCB in IPL 2024. The South African star has made 264 runs in 8 innings, including two 50+ scores. The RCB captain is a good choice for either captain or vice-captain role in this GT vs RCB Dream11 Fantasy Cricket game.

GT Probable Best Bowler: Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan’s four overs in any T20 game can make all the difference. He doesn’t offer freebies when bowling, as batsmen have to devise their own plans to score against the Afghanistan star. The 25-year-old has picked up 8 wickets in nine IPL 2024 matches, while maintaining an economy rate of 7.44.

RCB Probable Best Bowler: Karn Sharma

Given the pitch dynamics at the Narendra Modi Stadium, which tend to favor spinners, and considering the alarming downturn in form for RCB’s fast bowlers, Karn Sharma could emerge as the pivotal figure for the visiting side. It’s rather perplexing to fathom why RCB didn’t utilize Karn Sharma extensively in IPL 2024, especially considering the lackluster performances of their other bowlers throughout the season.
