RCB after their previous victory is looking very confident, Will they bring the same confidence against Gujarat Titans in today’s match?
Gujarat Titans after loosing their previous match to Delhi Capitals is strategizing for their next match to be in the race of playoffs. Even though the team has one of the best players from all the arena which makes it a very comprehensive team in itself. Their recent loss to Delhi Capitals makes them remember about their dependency in the middle order batting. If the top order fails then there must be an experienced in the middle to absorb the pressure of the game. It also includes their bowlers also, they were able to take wickets in the start of the game and also in the middle overs. But they still were not able to pick up the death overs.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru on the other hand have recently won their match against Sunrisers and take their revenge from the last loss against SRH. The way they played in the last match it seems like they have really focused on their bowling department. Mohammad Siraj came in as one of the best addition. He gave around 20 runs in 4 overs and slow down SRH match winning knock which breaks their flow in the game. If they perform like this in upcoming matches, then it is definitely going to be one of the team to qualify to playoffs.

Team Analysis of Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans surpasses the expectation in the IPL. They are just 2 year old but won the title in their debut season and then qualify to finals is a big thing for a new team. Winning title in debut season is a confidence booster for the team but the inclusiveness of Ashish Nehra (HEAD COACH) itself is a big relief for the team. Shubhman Gill is the new captain of the team. The team has plenty of domestic player who still have knowledge and control of Indian grounds.
But the problem with GT lies in their batting lineup. They depend too much on their top order and if it fails they don’t have a good contingency plan to absorb the shock. This problem is also lies in their bowling lineup where they don’t have the ability to take wickets in death overs. Sai Kishore in the last-to-last game against PBKS took wickets till the last overs breaking run chase and morale of the team.
In this IPL, we have observed that having a strong bowling lineup especially in the powerplay and death overs put team in a more secured position. They need to work in their bowling department more and also the batting need to have more training of Yorkers and Spins because these 2 types of bowling is changing the overall game.

Team Analysis of Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Royal Challengers Bengaluru has one of the best pieces of the game. If we look at the different they have the best batting lineup in the IPL. With securing middle to last order. They can secure the game from the last man standing. But this case was missing in their bowling department till the last game against SRH. Virat Kohli and Faf along with their coach definitely work on their strategy and it was clearly seen in their performance. As per the latest news of IPL, Glenn Maxwell was replaced by the Cameron Green and Green bring his skills in the game.
Even having the best pieces of the game if anyone of the piece did not work then the it is evident that the load is going to be on everyone. Mohammad Siraj did not play last match with SRH and the team has to face the wrath of Travis Head and Klassen in the match. Siraj entry slow down the game of Hyderabad and they ultimately felt the pressure of 4 overs of Siraj. Rest other bowlers took wickets in the early overs helping the team to settle down very early in the game.
