Royal Challengers Bangalore 

RCB bounced back to winning ways after a tough spell of six losses. They clinched victories against SRH and GT, with a standout performance in the match against GT. Chasing a challenging target of 200 runs, RCB achieved a stunning win. Will Jacks shone with his maiden IPL century and fifth overall in the tournament, while Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 70 off 44 balls played a crucial role in the chase. This impressive batting display turned the tide for RCB in IPL 2024.

In the last two games, the bowling attack has shown promising performance. Now, they aim to carry forward this momentum to their home ground at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, which is notorious for being tough on bowlers. Despite this challenge, RCB sees an opportunity to disrupt the plans of opposing teams and turn the tables in their favor.

After delivering outstanding performances in the last two seasons, GT has experienced a significant downturn in form this year, marked by inconsistency. The batting lineup, in particular, has failed to live up to expectations and has struggled to make an impact. 

With just four games remaining, GT is facing a critical must-win scenario. Having secured victory in only four out of their first 10 games, they now need to win all their remaining matches to keep their playoff hopes alive. However, the team is grappling with issues of consistency and injury woes among key players. Additionally, the inconsistent form of Shubman Gill has emerged as a major concern for GT this season.
