Gujarat Titans have been one of the most inconsistent sides in this year’s IPL so far and they lost a very tight contest against Delhi Capitals in their last match. However, they have plenty of batting depth and they will fancy their chances against RCB at home.
Gujarat Titans come into this match after two wins and two defeats from their last four games.


After a miserable losing run, RCB finally got back to winning ways when they beat a very strong Sunrisers Hyderabad side on Thursday. There certainly seems to have been a turnaround in form after they narrowly lost their previous match but they will now need to make it three strong performances in a row to be competitive.
After six successive defeats, RCB returned to winning ways with a 35 run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad.

CSK's twin defeats against LSG have put their campaign in jeopardy. CSK have four wins and as many defeats in eight games so far. They need four wins in the remaining six games to qualify for the playoffs. CSK, however, should not be under pressure as they have a good team and are very capable of getting on a winning run. Also, the home conditions will be a massive advantage against SRH due to their better spin attack.
CSK have played eight games, winning four and losing four matches.


Meanwhile, SRH suffered a defeat against RCB in previous game. SRH have been ruthless with the bat, posting 250+ scores a few times this season already, however, the approach they follow can at times make their batting collapse, exactly what happened against RCB. SRH have five wins in eight games and they need to win three out of their remaining six to qualify for playoffs. CSK have a great bowling attack so SRH will not find it easy beating CSK and that's for granted.

KKR thought they were home and dry after posting 261/6 batting first against Punjab Kings on Friday but the pitch seemed to get easier to bat on as the match progressed and they lost with 8 balls remaining. We can expect an even more aggressive batting approach in this game as a result.
Kolkata Knight Riders are operating towards the top of the table but have lost three of their last five games.


Delhi Capitals are certainly the most improved side in the tournament and they have completely turned their season around from the point when they had only one win from the first five matches! They will arrive in Kolkata full of confidence but this will be a very tough clash.
Delhi Capitals are one of the in-form sides in the tournament with four wins from their last five games.

LSG are fifth on the points table, with five wins and four defeats. They need to win three games out of their remaining five matches to qualify for the playoffs.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians’ playoff chances hang by a thread. They lost to Delhi Capitals in the last game. MI have been very ordinary this season and won just three games out of the nine matches played. However, MI are just not out of the playoff race. If MI can win all their remaining five games, they will qualify for the playoffs, however, it won’t be an easy task given how the team has fared so far.
