This is the first time the two teams have met face to face in an IPL match.
The Gujarat Titans, led by Hardik Pandya, and the Royal Challengers Bangalore, led by Faf du Plessis, will clash in the 43rd league match of the IPL cricket series at the Brabourne Ground in Mumbai at 3.30 pm today.
Newcomer Gujarat Titans are currently leading the table with 14 points from 8 matches with 7 wins and 1 loss. Captain Hardik Pandya scored 305 runs. David Miller, Chapman Gill and Abhinav Manohar add strength. Mohammad Shami, Ferguson, Rashid Khan and Yash Dayal are in the form of bowling.
Royal Challengers Bangalore are fifth with 10 points from 9 matches with 5 wins and 4 losses. This match is important for the Bangalore team as only the top 4 teams at the end of the league round will qualify for the play-off round. Because with this one win that team will have a chance to advance to 4th place. The play-off opportunity is also bright.
Bangalore, who have come under heavy criticism for their defeat in the last two league matches, may try to put in a better game to recover from it. At the same time, the Gujarat team is determined to continue the winning streak, so there will be no shortage of excitement in today’s match. This is the first time the two teams have met face to face in an IPL match.
