Royal Challengers Bengaluru will look to do the double and climb up the table when they host Gujarat Titans within the space of a week in match 52 of IPL 2024 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday (April 28).
Faf Du Plessis’ RCB head into the match on the back of a two-match winning streak, having beaten Shubman Gill-led GT by 9 wickets with 4 overs to spare in the reverse fixture last week at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Put into bat, GT rode on Sai Sudharsan (84* off 49), Shahrukh Khan (58 off 28) and a late cameo of David Miller (26* off 19) to set a target of 201 despite losing skipper Gill and Wriddiman Saha early.
In response, RCB chased down the total with relative ease following an unbeaten 166-run stand between Virat Kohli (70* off 44) and Will Jacks (100* off 41). Skipper Du Plessis also gave a good start with a 12-ball 24 to get RCB going in the run-chase.
RCB and GT will aim for wins to keep their slim hopes of a playoff spot when they meet for the fifth time in IPL and second time in Bengaluru. Now, let’s take a look at the head to head record, stats, results along with GT and RCB numbers at the venue ahead of IPL 2024 Match 52:
