Match Prediction
Considering current form and home advantage, RCB holds a slight edge over GT. With a strong top-order featuring Virat Kohli and Phil Salt, along with a solid bowling lineup led by Josh Hazlewood, RCB appears to be the stronger team on paper. However, GT has match-winners like Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, and Jos Buttler, making this contest an exciting one.
