#3. Strategy
Both teams’ biggest strength is their batting and with the Rajkot pitch being a good batting turf, the match is expected to be a batting treat. Both teams will expect their batsmen to fire on all cylinders and take them to a strong total.
Provided Tymal Mills returns to the squad, RCB will have to remove one overseas player and the best option would be Shane Watson, who has been disappointing in the tournament. RCB will expect Tymal Mills and Samuel Badree to strike early during the powerplay overs to dismiss the Gujarat Lions top order.
With AB De Villiers out due to an injury, RCB can take Chris Gayle into the playing XI who, if gets going, can be any bowler’s nightmare
For Gujarat Lions, Aaron Finch will be expected to return to the team after he missed the previous game. Hence, Jason Roy might have to sit out the match as the likes of Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith have been good with the bat so far.
In their bowling department, they will be counting on Andrew Tye and Ravindra Jadeja.
