Prediction for BLR vs GT Dream11 Contest - Playing XI, Injury Updates, Pitch Report and Weather report for the clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans in Match 67 of the IPL 2022 season.
It is a must win game for RCB to keep their play-offs hopes alive. They were defeated by the Punjab Kings in their last game by 54 runs. Opening has been a big concern for RCB in this season as Faf Du Plessis has been very inconsistent while nothing’s going right for Virat Kohli. Rajat Patidar has been good for them alongside Glenn Maxwell. Dinesh Karthik too has done well in this season. RCB needs contributions from their big guns in this very important match.
Bowling has been the reason for their good performance in IPL 2022. Josh Hazlewood has been brilliant with the new ball and in the death overs as well. Mohammad Siraj hasn’t been at his best but will look to do well in this game. Wanindu Hasaranga has been exceptional and is assisted well by Glenn Maxwell and Shahbaz Ahmed. Harshal Patel has found his mojo and has bowled well in the last few games. RCB must win this game and the bowlers will look to make that happen.

Rashid Khan has been excellent as their lead spinner while R Sai Kishore too has bowled well in the two games that he has played. Hardik Pandya has been bowling an or two in the last few games.
