RCB vs GT Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 52nd Match | RCB vs GT Dream11 Prediction Today | Bengaluru Pitch Report
Last season, Gujarat Titans won at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium to stop Royal Challengers Bengaluru from qualifying for the playoffs. Now, both teams enter this interesting encounter in must-win circumstances, with the season slipping away.
RCB, however, enter with the momentum. They have won their past two matches, including dispatching GT last weekend courtesy of an incredible onslaught by Will Jacks. But, whether RCB can make the M Chinnaswamy count in their favour will be key as they have often struggled here this season.
For GT, not only must they win, but they need to boost their net run rate of -1.113. Victory here puts them just two points outside the top four, so composure under pressure is vital.
