Head to Head Record

Overall: Total Matches –4, RCB Won – 3, GL Won – 1

In the 4 matches played between the two sides, Bangalore has won on 3 occasions. The Chinnaswamy wicket hasn’t been the same old high scoring surface so I feel run making might be pretty difficult so the projected score is on the lower side. Both sides are having some tough times in the competition so far so it will be an evenly match contest.

Team Combinations

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Despite their horrendous performance in the previous encounter, RCB might be tempted to go with the same XI from the previous match. Adam Milne who looked impressive in the limited opportunities he got might make a return but given their bowling performance in the last match, it will be difficult for the RCB to leave anyone out.

Predicted XI: Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli(c), Mandeep Singh, AB de Villiers, Kedar Jadhav(w), Stuart Binny, Pawan Negi, Samuel Badree, Tymal Mills, Sreenath Aravind, Yuzvendra Chahal

Gujarat Lions

They have roped in the services of Irfan Pathan and Ankit Soni who might be directly drafted into the XI at the expense of Dwayne Bravo and Shivil Kaushik. Bravo had to leave for the Caribbeans as he failed to recover from the hamstring injury. The rest of the XI remains the same.

Predicted XI: Brendon McCullum, Aaron Finch, Suresh Raina(c), Dinesh Karthik(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Smith, Irfan Pathan, Andrew Tye, Ankit Soni, Basil Thampi, Nathu Singh

RCB have a slight edge over Gujarat Lions but with both teams struggling to find form in the tournament it might be pretty close encounter.
