RCB vs GT Match Prediction & Analysis Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) face Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 14th match of IPL 2025 in Bengaluru. RCB have exceeded expectations so far, securing two dominant wins and carrying strong momentum into this home fixture. Gujarat Titans bounced back well after an early setback and will be eager to keep that going. Both teams come in with confidence, but with RCB playing at home and in top form, they head into this clash as the team to beat. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru couldn’t have asked for a better start to their season. Two away matches, two dominant victories—they’ve set the tone early and look like strong contenders. Their latest win was a commanding 50-run triumph over Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. After putting up 196-7, they kept the hosts to just 146-8. RCB’s batting lineup is in excellent shape, with Virat Kohli, Philip Salt, and Rajat Patidar all looking solid. Patidar has stepped up with crucial performances in both games, while Salt will relish the batting-friendly conditions at Chinnaswamy. An aggressive start from him seems likely. Kohli, who thrives at this venue with an average of over 40, has registered four centuries and 22 fifties here. Another big knock is on the cards. Lower down the order, Jitesh Sharma and Tim David can be counted on for quick runs in the final overs. Batting has always been RCB’s strong suit, but this season, their bowling looks sharp too. Josh Hazlewood’s inclusion has been a game-changer—five wickets in two matches at an economy of just 5.37 speak volumes. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s presence alongside him gives RCB a dependable pace attack in the powerplay. Krunal Pandya, Yash Dayal, and Liam Livingstone add more options in the middle overs, ensuring a balanced attack. Gujarat Titans Preview After falling short in their opening game against Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans bounced back with a convincing 36-run win over Mumbai Indians at home. They put up a solid 196-8 after batting first and kept MI to 160-6. Sai Sudharsan once again led the charge, scoring a composed 63 off 41 balls. This was his second consecutive fifty, proving his consistency at the top. He has been anchoring the innings well, which makes him a dependable presence. Captain Shubman Gill has been getting starts but hasn’t converted them into a big score yet. Given his current form and the batting-friendly conditions, he looks due for a standout performance soon. Jos Buttler is another batter to keep an eye on. He’s already scored 54 (off 33) and 39 (off 24) in the tournament and appears set for another impactful knock of 30+ runs at number three. Gujarat’s main concern is their middle and lower order, which hasn’t looked convincing. If early wickets fall, they could be in trouble. Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia haven’t found their rhythm, and much will depend on how Impact Player Sherfane Rutherford handles the pressure in case of a collapse. Weather Conditions The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has always been known to favour batters. The surface here tends to be rather flat, allowing batsmen to play through the line and smash big ones. Spinners do get some help in the middle overs, but since this is the first game of the season to be played at the venue, it is more likely to be a batting paradise with very little for the bowlers. The weather in Bengaluru will be slightly cloudy and cool during the evening, but there is no forecast of rain so we should get a full match. RCB vs GT Pitch Report The average score batting first at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is 168. However, you should expect a high-scoring game here. In IPL 2024, the Chinnaswamy stadium produced the highest team total in the league’s history – 287 by Sunrisers Hyderabad versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The team batting first would be eyeing a score of around 220-230 in this contest. Toss: To Bat Four of the last five IPL matches at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium have been won by the team batting first. This shows that the venue usually favors setting a target and batting first would be the better choice here.
