IPL 2024 Match 45 GT vs RCB Match Preview

The 45th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will witness Gujarat Titans hosting Royal Challengers Bengaluru at their home den in Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on April 28, Sunday.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat have locked horns with each other in 3 matches in IPL. Out of these 3 games, Bengaluru has won 1 while Gujarat has come out victorious on 2 occasions.

Gujarat Titans has a lot to worry about regarding their game against Bengaluru; their batting lacks class and pedigree for an event like IPL. Their lower order may have saved them on numerous occasions, but their top order has to set games for them.

Bengaluru is now settled with their team but they have arrived a bit late to the party which almost ended their qualification chances.

David Miller

Slotted in the middle order, David Miller will have the onus to smash the spinners and the quicks in the death overs. His team’s lack of class and batting pedigree makes him an important batter.

Key Bowlers to Watch for GT vs RCB:

Lockie Ferguson

Gujarat’s middle-order batting lineup has their struggles against Back of Length and in Ferguson, Bengaluru has someone who will exploit it, given he starts his spell after the power play.

Noor Ahmed

Ahmed will ply his trade in the middle overs for Gujarat, Bengaluru’s middle order is vulnerable against Left-arm spin which makes Noor a perfect bet to have.
