Royal Challengers Bengaluru Vs Gujarat Titans: Pitch And Weather Conditions
It is known that batters are given preference at Chinnaswamy Stadium. At the ground, a run-fest is expected with a par score of 200-210. Batsmen can play their shots freely because of the bounce and small boundaries. At the start of the game, pacers could benefit a little, though. Given that dew is expected in the second innings, the team that wins the toss will prefer to bowl first.
AccuWeather predicts that the temperature will start the game at 29 degrees Celsius and drop to 26 degrees as the game progresses. Throughout the game, the humidity is expected to vary from 40% to 61%. Although there will be clouds in the sky, there is a 6% chance of rain.
What Is The Biggest Fear Of Today’s Match For RCB?
After defeating five-time champion Chennai Super Kings and reigning champion Kolkata Knight Riders in their opening two games, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have enjoyed an incredible start to their IPL 2025 campaign. They won both games easily, and they are now on top of the IPL points table. RCB has played bold cricket under Rajat Patidar, a style they have long promised but rarely fulfilled.
They will, however, face their biggest test to date—winning at home—when they travel to Bengaluru for their first Indian Premier League 2025 home game against the Gujarat Titans, another former champion. Historically, RCB has had trouble at home, in contrast to teams like the Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, and Kolkata Knight Riders. A home advantage has not always been offered by the famous bowlers’ graveyard that is the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB has played 100 home games since the IPL began, but they have only won 49 of them. Despite having one of the most passionate fan bases, which fills the stands at every match, RCB’s home performances often fall short.

There are no reported injury concerns for both teams. It’s unlikely that RCB will change their winning combination. However, Glenn Phillips, whose late-order hitting and gun fielding could prove invaluable at M Chinnaswamy, might be an appealing option for Gujarat to replace Sherfane Rutherford.
