Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be aiming to extend their winning start to the new IPL 2025 season when they take on Gujarat Titans (GT) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, in Bengaluru on Wednesday evening.
RCB have started the season in the best possible way, winning the opening two games. Their first win came at the home of reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders as Virat Kohli and Co won by seven wickets. The next win was even more impressive as it came in an away match against the Chennai Super Kings. This win got the traction from all around the cricket world as this was RCB’s first win at MA Chidambaram Stadium in more than 17 years. This is the reason why RCB have got so much hype this season.
Gujarat Titans are also coming off an impressive win in their last encounter. It was the match against the five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians. While batting first, GT posted 196/8 in 20 overs and restricted Mumbai to just 160/6 in 20 overs.
