Pitch Report
The previous game at the Wankhede Stadium saw over 380 runs being scored, indicating a good batting surface. There wasn't much swing available for the pacers early on, allowing the batters to go hard from ball one. As the match progresses, the pitch can slow down and allow the bowlers to vary their pace accordingly. Both IPL teams will ideally look to bowl with dew bound to come into play. 170 should be a good total, with wickets in hand being crucial.
Today’s RCB vs GT Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Wriddhiman Saha: Wriddhiman Saha has been a revelation at the top of the order for the Gujarat Titans, scoring a couple of key half-centuries. He has also been brilliant with the gloves, adding value to the team. Given his form, Saha should get the nod over Dinesh Karthik, who is also not a bad option for your RCB vs GT Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Faf du Plessis: Faf du Plessis hasn't looked at his fluent best in IPL 2022 but has scored over 350 runs for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Although he comes into the game on the back of a poor performance against Punjab Kings (PBKS), Faf's experience and talent should hold him in good stead today.
All-rounder
Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya has led the Gujarat Titans well with some impactful knocks in the top order. Although he hasn't bowled his quota of overs regularly, he adds value with his bowling. With the Gujarat Titans skipper due for a big performance, he is one to watch out for in this game.
Bowler
Josh Hazlewood: Josh Hazlewood has been fairly decent with the ball for RCB, picking UP wickets in the powerplay and death overs. He has hit the hard lengths and used his variations to good effect. Given his form and effectiveness in IPL 2022, Hazlewood is a good addition to your RCB vs GT Dream11 fantasy team.
