GT vs RCB Match Preview:
GT are on a 4-match winning streak at the moment, having defeated SRH in their last match. SRH were the only team that defeated GT this season and the team took its revenge in the reverse fixture. The biggest plus for Titans batting would be Wriddhiman Saha's performance in their last fixture, who scored 68 runs in 38 balls and powered the team in the powerplay. Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan have snatched wins at the end with their finishing in multiple matches and GT batting looks much stronger than when the season started.
Boasting one of the strongest bowling attacks in IPL 2022, Rashid Khan's lack of wickets and an increased economy can be a concern for Titans, who only have the Afghan as far as the spin bowling department is concerned. However, pacers Mohammad Shami, Yash Dayal, Alzarri Joseph & Lockie Ferguson have been impeccable in their performance this season.
RCB on the other hand are experiencing harsh batting woes, especially from the top order. Captain Faf du Plessis has been ineffective barring two knocks this season. Former captain Virat Kohli decided to move up to the opening position but struggled in the last match. Along with Glenn Maxwell, youngsters Suyash Prabhudessai & Rajat Patidar are in the middle order while finishing roles are relied on the only two near consistent batters for RCB this season - Dinesh Karthik & Shahbaz Ahmed.
With Hazlewood's inclusion, the RCB bowling has strengthened and looked better. Hasaranga has been providing crucial wickets while Siraj also registered his name among wickets with 2 wickets in the last match. Harshal Patel is the go-to strike bowler for RCB and the last season's Purple Cap holder is yet to display his best this season.
