The RCB vs GT IPL 2024 reverse fixture will be played in Bengaluru on May 4, Saturday from 7.30 pm IST. The two teams will play back-to-back games this season.

RCB vs GT Team Analysis

Royal Challengers Bangalore

RCB came back to winning ways against SRH and GT after losing six games on the trot. They chased 200 in a giffy against GT with Will Jacks scoring his maiden IPL ton and his fifth IPL ton overall. Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 70 off 44 balls in the chase.

The bowling attack has performed well in the last two games. They would like to replicate their form at home at the Chinnaswamy which is considered to be a graveyard for the bowlers. RCB can look to spoil the chances of the other teams now.

Gujarat Titans

With four games to go, GT finds itself in a must-win situation. They have won four out of the first 10 games and now need to win all their remaining four games. The side is struggling with consistency and injury concerns to key players. Shubman Gill's form too has been a major concern this season.

RCB vs GT Key Factors

Pitch Conditions

The pitch at the Chinnaswamy stadium has always been a batting-friendly wicket. Scores of 200 are par on that wicket. RCB have won just one game so far at home and need to make the most of the home conditions to win their remaining matches at home. Their bowlers need to step up in the remaining games. The pitch has true bounce and carry and the ball comes onto the bat quicker with the dew setting in the second innings.

Form and Fitness

There are fitness concerns in the GT camp with Kane Williamson and David Miller not fully fit. There are injury concerns with Wriddhiman Saha as well as he missed the last few games. There are no such concerns in the RCB camp who are looking to win the last few games.

The RCB bowlers and batters seem to be regaining form in the last two games and need to keep the consistency going. For GT who have some world-class players in their ranks, they need to find their magic touch in the remaining few games.

Tactical Acumen

Given that Chinnaswamy is a high-scoring venue and teams prefer to chase at the ground, both Faf du Plessis and Subman Gill as captains need to understand the matchups and the ground dimensions effectively. They also need to make the best use of their bowling resources.
