RCB Vs GT Live Score: Still no boundary for GT π§
We are three overs into the game and GT are yet to hit a boundary. This is some level of discipline by the RCB bowlers.
Also, the track seems slightly two-paced, with the batters struggling to time the ball. It will be interesting to see if Gill and Sai Sudharsan finish the powerplay on a high for the visitors.

Siraj offers some width as Saha edges it straight to Dinesh Karthik! Siraj gets his bunny once again, what a brilliant start by RCB! GT have been rocked by an early wicket.

What a first over that was from Swapnil Singh! Although he didn't get a wicket, he managed to keep the GT openers quiet, conceding a single off his first over.
RCB Vs GT Live Score: Time for live action π
Well, it's time for live action and interestingly RCB will start with Swapnil Singh's left-arm off spin. Probably because GT have two right-handers as their openers? Ok, here we go, Swapnil starts with a dot ball.

The surface at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has traditionally been flat and batting-friendly.
But in this IPL season, we have seen the bowlers keeping things tight, especially in the first half of the game.
However, it will flatten as the game progresses, making things significantly easier for the batters in the latter half.

RCB Vs GT Live Score: Team Previews
Gujarat Titans
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans haven't been the same side in the post Hardik Pandya era.
Although Shubman Gill has earned massive applause from the critics for his leadership, his troops have failed to step up as a unit in the competition.
As a result, they have emerged as the third worst side of the IPL 2024, placed eighth in the points table.
However, as they are still not eliminated, this game gives them the opportunity to stay alive in the tournament by securing a win.
More importantly, they would be desperate to avenge the crushing defeat against RCB which they sustained a few days ago in Ahmedabad.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Led by Faf du Plessis, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have had a torrid run in the IPL 2024.
However, after six consecutive crushing defeats, the Red Brigade finally regained their mojo with two successive thumping wins over SRH and GT.
While ace batter Virat Kohli has sustained his purple patch with the bat, the emergence of Will Jacks has certainly benefitted RCB in the business end of the competition.
However, with only three wins under their belt, featuring in the playoffs seems to be a distant dream for RCB.
So, all they have to play for is their pride and their passionate fans, who will be cheering for them tonight.
Hello and welcome to OneCricket's live blog for the high-voltage face-off between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans. I am Debashis Sarangi, accompanied by my colleague, Rajgeeta Yadav and we will be taking you through all the thrilling moments of this game.
