One is placed eighth among ten teams, the other is even worse as they languish right at the bottom of the points table. Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have not had a good IPL this time, with their playoffs hopes almost over.
Mathematically, they are still in the race somehow and that should be the motivation for both the teams when they lock horns in Bengaluru on Saturday. RCB, however, have shown signs of a resurgence with back-to-back victories in their last two games.
It will be rematch of sorts as the teams faced each other last Sunday in Ahmedabad. RCB had run away with the game chasing a 201-run target, with the emergence of a new batting hero, Will Jacks, even as their man of all seasons, Virat Kohli, once against made a solid contribution for the team. Can they make it three on the trot?
