Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 14th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Both teams won their last games.
RCB defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by a comprehensive 50-run margin in Chennai. They were clinical in all the departments and outplayed CSK in their own den.
Meanwhile, GT defeated the Mumbai Indians (MI) in their previous match. They batted superbly to register an above-par total and bowled brilliantly to restrict MI.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (c), Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Yash Dayal
Impact Player: Suyash Sharma

This will be the season’s first game in Bengaluru, so the deck should be good for batting. The ball should come nicely on the bat, with some early assistance for speedsters. The team winning the toss might elect to field first, with around 200 being a fighting one.
A temperature of around 28°C, with partly cloudy skies, is forecast.
