The 45th match of IPL 2024 will see Gujarat Titans (GT) face off against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on April 27th at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024 have played 9 matches in the league so far, winning 4 and losing 5, accumulating 8 points. However, they have not been able to replicate their dominant performance from the last season.

On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who have won 2 out of their 9 matches, are currently at the bottom of the points table. RCB has only managed to win 1 out of their last 5 matches.

With this much-anticipated match on the horizon, let’s take a look at how the pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium is expected to behave throughout the game.
