RCB vs GT Match Preview

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 14th match of IPL 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 2nd at 7:30 PM IST. RCB has shown strong form with 4 wins and 1 loss in their last five matches, while GT has been inconsistent with 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. The head-to-head record slightly favors RCB, who have won 2 of the last 3 encounters between these sides.

RCB will look to capitalize on their home advantage at Chinnaswamy, where the pitch typically favors batsmen and rewards aggressive strokeplay. GT, meanwhile, will rely on their balanced lineup to counter RCB's strong batting attack. The toss could prove crucial as teams batting second have won 65% of matches at this venue in recent seasons.

Key players to watch include Virat Kohli (RCB) and Shubman Gill (GT), both capable of anchoring their team's innings. The match might be decided in the middle overs where Rashid Khan's bowling could challenge RCB's power hitters.
