In their last encounter, Sai Sudharsan's unbeaten 84 off 49 and Shahrukh Khan's 30-ball 58 powered GT to a competitive total 200. However, Will Jacks' scintillating hundred off just 41 balls and Virat Kohli's 44-ball 70 helped RCB cross the finish line in just 16 overs. However, RCB are still at the bottom of the points table, while GT are two places ahead in the eighth position.

Pitch Report
Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium is a batter's best friend, and we can expect a high-scoring encounter when RCB take on GT. When the venue hosted its previous match, RCB and SRH combined for 549 runs - the highest-ever score in a T20 game. Fast bowlers are likely to get more help from the surface here than spinners.

Will Jacks RCB | BAT
Will Jacks was a beast in their previous encounter. He completed his half-century in 31 balls but took just 10 more balls to convert it into a three-digit score. Jacks scored 28 off Rashid Khan in the 16th over to complete the 201-run chase in style.

C
Shubman Gill GT | BAT
Shubman Gill has had an inconsistent run this season. Despite failing to live up to expectations, the GT skipper has been their backbone in the batting department. He aims to contribute as much as he can in the upcoming match.

Wriddhiman Saha
GT | WK
Wriddhiman Saha has often been a free wicket for the opposition this season. The keeper-batter is not in the best form and he managed only 5 runs in the last match against RCB.

Glenn Maxwell
RCB | ALL
Glenn Maxwell himself suggested dropping him from the XI following a series of poor performances. However, he returned to the team in the last match against GT but did not get a chance to bat. He is not in good form and is not sure that he will be able to perform well in the upcoming match.
