RCB vs GT Match Prediction: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) will play the 14th game of the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium today. This is RCB’s first home match, and the team is ready to maintain its excellent form. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans will also want to strengthen their position this season. This match can also prove to be an exciting clash between “King” Virat Kohli and “Prince” Shubman Gill. Let’s take a look at the record of this stadium and the behavior of the pitch.
Pitch report: Helps batsmen, benefits spinners
The pitch of M Chinnaswamy Stadium is considered a batting paradise. The flat surface and short boundaries here help the batsmen to play big shots. A high-scoring thriller is expected in today’s match as well. The fast bowlers may get light swing in the initial overs on the pitch, but as the game progresses, spinners will benefit with turn and bounce. The effect of dew can also be seen in the second innings, which can make chasing easier.
RCB vs GT: Current form of teams
RCB: Top of the points table, won both the last matches. Virat Kohli is in great form and his record (3040 runs) on this ground is excellent. His average against team GT is 114.66.
GT: Fourth place with 1 win out of 2. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarshan are in good form, but the middle order lacks stability.
