Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru will square off in Match 52 of the 2024 Indian Premier League on Saturday night at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. This is a rematch of Match 45, which the Royals easily won by nine wickets. The RCB trails the Titans by two points going into this game. The match begins on May 4 at 19:30 in Bengaluru.
With victories over Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous two games, RCB has given them a chance to move up the standings and possibly even secure a postseason berth. They can’t afford any mistakes, though, therefore we anticipate that they will be extremely confident going into this match.
It is somewhat odd to watch Gujarat Titans struggle in ninth place so far in this IPL season considering how powerful and reliable they were in their first two IPL seasons. This match in Bengaluru is probably going to be difficult, especially because it’s against the RCB, who are on the rise.
The last thing the Gujarat Titans needed was to face a batter like Will Jacks while Virat Kohli was playing so well! In the rematch, the English all-round batsman scored his fourth T20 century in just 41 balls. With four fours and nine sixes off his previous 17 balls, not many Gujarat bowlers would want to bowl to him this time around.
Now that confidence permeates every part of the RCB team, we can anticipate a swagger from all their bowlers and hitters in this game.
Their bowling attack is still under question, though, and it is still their biggest vulnerability going into this match.

The Gujarat Titans are a team that is very different from their 2022 and 2023 IPL rivals. They have missed Hardik Pandya’s assurance and self-assurance in the captaincy job, while Mohammed Shami is a pace bowler whose talents are greatly missed by any team in any format of cricket competition.
Star spinner Rashid Khan has been more successful with the bat than the ball in this year’s competition, but Shubman Gill has not had a poor season. The captain has not been as steady as in past years.
Gujarat, whose sole reliable player in the 2024 IPL has been Sai Sudharsan, needs their big names—Gill, David Miller, and Rashid—to step up and help them.

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Bengaluru
According to the statistics, there is a slight advantage to fielding first at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, but not a significant one. Therefore, if they win the toss before this game, we anticipate that both Shubman Gill and Faf du Plessis will choose to bowl first.
On Saturday evening, there will be patches of cloud cover, but overall, the day will be sunny before Bengaluru experiences a clear evening sky. By the end of the fixture, the temperature will have risen to above thirty degrees and the humidity will have increased to almost fifty percent.
Like most other 2024 Indian Premier League locations, this pitch has yielded a lot of runs this season despite bowlers finding it difficult to make contact.
In the last four matches between these two teams, each team won two matches.
