IPL 2025: RCB vs GT Head-to-Head Records- Match 14

The previous RCB vs GT fixture, which took place at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru during the previous season of IPL, saw the 2016 runners-up getting the better of the 2022 champions with ease. They hope to repeat the same performance on April 02, 2025.

Along with the powerplay batting where teams go hard against the bowlers, it also becomes quite important to hold the opposition batters to make them feel the pressure with a few dry overs, and that results in a few early wickets in the game.

Both the franchises, before the RCB vs GT fixture, have done well with the ball in the first six overs of the innings. Bengaluru, thanks to both Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, picked up three crucial wickets in the previous encounter against the Chennai Super Kings to break their back.

In two innings, they have picked up four wickets at an average of 22.50 and a strike rate of 18. Their economy rate of 7.50 is also brilliant and shows how they keep the opponents cold in the first few overs, and that led them to take the extra pressure in playing a few wrong shots.

For the Gujarat Titans, Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj went for so many runs in the opening game before making a perfect comeback in the second game against the Mumbai Indians. Ishant Sharma was also excellent in this aspect as he displayed smartness with the new ball in hand.

Before the RCB vs GT fixture, Gujarat had leaked 121 runs in 12 overs across two innings at an average of 40.33 and a strike rate of 24. Their economy rate of 10.08 as they picked up three wickets. They will hope to improve the numbers going forward.
