First Game:
These sides met with each other in their most recent match played in Ahmedabad on the 28th of April.Iit begun with the Royal Challengers wining the toss and electing to field first. The Titans batsmen struggled early on due to disciplined bowling and with a wicket falling in the first over, the Titans were under pressure. The Royal Challengers bowlers then dropped off the pace slightly and the Titans reached a respectable total of 200/3. Top Batsman was Sai Sudharsan who scored 84 off 49 balls and on the bowling front it was Swapnil Singh who topped the figures, picking up 1 wicket for 23 runs in 3 overs.
The second innings begun with the Titans bowlers holding the Royal Challengers batting line-up to a reasonable run rate and they applied pressure on the batsmen in the 4th over when they took their first wicket, this would however be their only wicket of the match and after the Royal Challengers line-up stabilised, they cruised to victory winning the match by 9 wickets with 4 overs remaining. Top bowler from the Titans was Sai Kishore who took 1 wicket for 30 runs in his 3 over spell. On the winning team, top batsman was Will Jacks who flew to total of 100 runs off 41 deliveries at a striker rate of 243.90.
Head-To-Head
These sides have met just 4 times in the IPL with each side claiming victory twice so far, the last time they met was in the match discussed above where the Royal Challengers picked up an easy win.
This is very much a must win for both teams.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru 1.75
Gujarat Titans 2.10
Suggested Bet: Titans Top Batter – Shubman Gill at 2.35
The Titan’s captain has done well this season and he has scored consistently and I am looking for him to lead from the front with the bat in hand.
Suggested Bet: Batsmen Total Sixes – Will Jacks over 0.5 at 1.50
He has hit 15 sixes in the competition so far and 10 of these came in the game theses sides clashed in last week. If he hangs around for a few balls this should land.
Suggested Bet: Royal Challengers to win at 1.75
The introduction of Jacks makes a big difference to the batting lineup and I feel it is the trigger for a strong late run in the tournament. This play also comes with the insurance of the Money Back for Most Sixes promo see details below.
