IPL 2024: Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titans Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru

Royal Challengers Bengaluru continue their ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) campaign by taking on Gujarat Titans. Both sides will face off at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru in the 52nd game of the tournament on Saturday, May 4. 

RCB have had a forgettable season in the tournament so far, led by Faf du Plessis. The side has played 10 games in the IPL 2024, has only registered three wins, and has lost the remaining seven. However, the side has recently picked up its form, and after registering a dominant win against Gujarat Titans in their previous game, they will aim to complete the double victory against the Shubman Gill-led side. 

On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have experienced a roller coaster of a season in the IPL 2024. With four wins and six losses in 10 matches, Titans find themselves in eighth place in the standings with eight points to their name. 

After a loss to RCB in their previous game, the Shubman Gill-led side will aim to seek redemption, register their fifth win of the season, and hopefully move up in the IPL 2024 standings.
