Gujarat Titans open their doors on Thursday evening, and what a night to be coming home.

Shubman Gill's side returned from Chennai with a spring in their step and a performance worth talking about. That win was built on Kagiso Rabada's searing new ball spell and Sai Sudharsan's 87 of 46 balls. Titans side are sitting fifth on the table with four wins and four losses.

Their guests Royal Challengers Bengaluru, however, have spent the past week making the rest of the tournament deeply uncomfortable.

They did not merely beat Delhi Capitals, they took them apart delivery by delivery until there was almost nothing left to dismantle.

Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar were relentless, Kohli was inevitable, and Rajat Patidar's side now arrive in Ahmedabad with twelve points, genuine top of the table ambitions and the swagger of a team that genuinely frightens people.

Gujarat Titans vs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru prediction: Who Will Win​


Truthfully, it is difficult to make a case for Gujarat Titans on Thursday evening. Royal Challengers Bengaluru have won six of eight, their batting runs three deep with genuine match winners, and that bowling attack just skittled Delhi for 75. Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar have taken 21 wickets between them this season at a combined economy that borders on miserly.

Gujarat's only realistic hope rests entirely with their bowlers. Rabada, Siraj, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan, they are capable of hurting anyone on their day. But restricting this RCB batting lineup consistently feels like wishful thinking right now.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are simply too hot to handle at this moment. Back them comfortably.
