RCB and GT are both hoping to secure a coveted playoff berth as they meet in Bengaluru. With only a few matches remaining, their fate hangs in the balance as they prepare to face off; although RCB is at the bottom of the points table with only three wins, Titans are only slightly better with four wins. Recent wins have given the RCB's players a much-needed boost of confidence, and their captain, Faf du Plessis, has led from the front with two outstanding performances in their previous two games. Conversely, the Gujarat Titans are struggling with several problems, both with the bat and the ball.
