IPL 2022: Match 67, RCB vs GT Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between Bangalore and Gujarat?

Royal Challengers Bangalore is set to take on the Gujarat Titans in their next encounter at the Wankhede Stadium. The Faf du Plessis-led side was hammered in their previous game against the Punjab Kings and it has taken a big toll on their net run rate as well.  With seven wins in 13 games, a victory might just not be enough for the RCB side and their fate still doesn’t lie in their hands with other results affecting scenarios.

On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have been the team to beat so far in the tournament and have qualified for the playoffs already with 10 wins in 13 games. However, with the playoffs approaching, the Hardik Pandya-led side would be looking to keep the winning momentum going as well. The form of Wriddhiman Saha has been a great boost to the side after his scintillating knock in the previous game.
