Pre-Match Analysis:
Self-confidence in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru camp has doubled following their back-to-back wins over Sunrisers Hyderabad and 2022 champions Gujarat Titans. Both wins might not be enough for them to qualify for the playoffs but they can give their shot at it, winning their remaining 4 matches. Will Jacks’ unbelievable century gave them a handsome win over Gujarat Titans in the blink of an eye with 24 balls to spare. Virat Kohli played his part, scoring 70* runs.
After the inclusion of 33-year-old left-arm spinner Swapnil Singh, bowling seems to be back on track as they aren’t as wayward as they used to be earlier in the tournament. Glenn Maxwell is back in the side after taking a break for Mental Health and hip injury, and he made a difference by picking up the wicket of Shubman Gill in the last outing. With 3 wins and 7 losses, they are still placed at the bottom of the standings with 6 points.
Gujarat Titans sunk further to 8th in the standings after losing to Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Despite posting 200 on the board with the help of valuable contributions from Tamil Nadu batters Sai Sudharsan (84*) and Shahrukh Khan (58), they ended up on the losing side against RCB as their bowling went wrong where Mohit Sharma and even seasoned Rashid Khan took for cleaners.
They are entirely struggling with the tactics and must come up with better execution going forward. Shubman Gill and his men will now travel to Bengaluru where they have fond memories as they knocked out RCB from a playoff race last season.
