Gujarat Titans to win
Gujarat Titans take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match 45 of the 2024 Indian Premier League at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Titans begin this game on eight points, four points ahead of RCB who are currently at the bottom of the table. Read on as we preview this fixture. This match gets underway in Ahmedabad at 15:30 local time on Sunday 28th April.
Gujarat Titans have been one of the most inconsistent sides in this year’s IPL so far and they lost a very tight contest against Delhi Capitals in their last match. However, they have plenty of batting depth and they will fancy their chances against RCB at home.
After a miserable losing run, RCB finally got back to winning ways when they beat a very strong Sunrisers Hyderabad side on Thursday. There certainly seems to have been a turnaround in form after they narrowly lost their previous match but they will now need to make it three strong performances in a row to be competitive.
TV channels: In India, GT vs RCB match will be available on Star Network. The match will also be available on Sky Sports (UK), Fox Sports (Australia), Sky Sport NZ (New Zealand), SuperSport (South Africa) and Willow TV (USA)
IPL 2024 Live Streaming: GT vs RCB fixture will be live-streamed on Jio Cimema in India. In Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal, the matches can be watched live on Yupp TV. Other channels where the match will be streamed live are Willow, Foxtel Go and Kayo.
With 17 of the 31 IPL fixtures at the Narendra Modi Stadium won by the team fielding first, we predict that both captains will walk out to the toss planning to bowl first if they win the toss.
Although we saw only 181 runs and 14 wickets fall on this pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the last game, it is not a bad batting surface. A par score is at least 180 and there is not a huge amount of spin for the slow bowlers to work with so they may be used as a defensive option on this pitch.
The weather forecast is for clear skies throughout this contest on Sunday afternoon with the temperature likely to be over 35 degrees from start to finish. Low humidity levels and no rain are expected.

Captain Shubman Gill announced no changes at the toss ahead of their narrow defeat against Delhi Capitals and it would be no surprise to see the same XI for this game. Mohit Sharma will be under scrutiny after conceding 73 runs in the last match but has been good at this venue.
Sharath BR, Manav Suthar, Darshan Nalkande, Vijay Shankar, Sandeep Warrier.
Sandeep Warrier put in an excellent bowling performance during the fielding innings against Delhi Capitals so we expect him to be used in the same role in this game with Sai Sudharsan the likely player to only be used in the batting innings.
Gujarat Titans come into this match after two wins and two defeats from their last four games.
Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Azmatullah Omarzai, Shahrukh Khan, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Sai Kishore, Mohit Sharma, Noor Ahmad
Dream11 Captain Options: Virat Kohli
Dream11 Vice Captain Options: Shubman Gill
| Wicket-Keepers | Dinesh Karthik, Wriddhiman Saha |
|---|---|
| Batters | Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan |
| All-Rounders | Will Jacks, Cameron Green |
| Bowlers | Mohit Sharma, Rashid Khan |
The experienced wicket-keeper and in-form batter Dinesh Karthik had to leave the field with four overs remaining of the win against Sunrisers Hyderabad with a hand injury and it looks like being a race against time to see if he will be fit enough to play in this match.
Suyash Prabhudessai, Anuj Rawat, Himanshu Sharma, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Swapnil Singh
Slow left-arm orthodox bowler Swapnil Singh came into the team and performed well against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Rajat Patidar was substituted out and is very likely to be used in the batting innings once more.
After six successive defeats, RCB returned to winning ways with a 35 run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik (wk) / Anuj Rawat, Karn Sharma, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal, Mohammed Siraj
This will be the fourth clash between Gujarat Titans and RCB with the Titans leading the head to head 2-1 so far. When the sides met last season Gujarat won by 6 wickets with 5 balls remaining.

The bookies are predicting a close contest in Ahmedabad on Sunday afternoon. Gujarat Titans are the narrow favourites at 1.85 with RCB at 1.95 to win.
Based on recent results, this could be a very tight match but overall, we see Gujarat Titans as the stronger side, particularly with the ball, in this game.
We recommend selecting David Miller, Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill with the bat for Gujarat Titans. Left-hander South African Miller was in fine form in the last match against Delhi Capitals where he gave the Titans a genuine chance of chasing down 225 with his 55 runs from 23 balls. Gill has scored over 3000 IPL runs from 100 matches with 23 scores of 50+.
For RCB, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Faf du Plessis are our batting tips. Skipper du Plessis hit a quick-fire 25 runs from 12 balls, a strike-rate of 208.33, against Sunrisers Hyderabad and the 39 year old enjoyed a run of scores of 62, 61 and 44 earlier this month. Kohli is the all-time leading run scorer in the IPL as well as the top scorer so far this season. He has hit 61 scores of 50+ in the IPL.
Sandeep Warrier, Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore are our Gujarat Titans bowling picks. All-rounder Kishore only bowled one expensive over against Delhi Capitals due to a long partnership between two left-handers. But the slow left-arm orthodox is likely to be used far more against RCB’s right-handed top order and he took 4/33 in Match 37 against Punjab Kings. Warrier took two wickets in his only appearance in Ahmedabad so far in this campaign and brings a strike-rate of 8.40 in the 2024 IPL into this match.
Our bowling choices are Karna Sharma, Cameron Green and Mohammed Siraj for RCB. Right-arm fast-medium bowler Siraj went wicketless against Sunrisers Hyderabad but his economy rate of 5.00 was exceptional against such a strong batting line-up. The experienced Sharma has taken 145 T20 wickets across his career with his best figures 5/24.
Cricket fans from across the globe will be tuning in to watch this clash on Sunday afternoon and many pundits are expecting another tight fixture. RCB’s confidence is growing at the moment and they will travel to Ahmedabad fancying their chances of another victory. However, we think that Gujarat Titans will be the stronger team in front of their home fans and we are backing them to win.
