IPL Match 45 Prediction: Ahmedabad To Host GT vs RCB Blockbuster

The IPL match 45 prediction: GT vs RCB, between Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore is scheduled in Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday (April 28). 

IPL match 45 prediction is expected to be an even contest because it's a day game, and dew will have no intervention to support either side.

RCB has lost six consecutive games, and their confidence seems shattered. They don’t have a realistic chance in this year's IPL as far as the playoffs are concerned, and they must be looking to use these games to experiment for the next year.

GT vs RCB: Bengaluru Fans Await Major Success

Winning the IPL has been a cakewalk for some teams who have done it five times, and it is the biggest dream for some franchises, and RCB is one of them.

Every time, their admirers come with hopes to change their fortunes but return with empty hands, and this year is no different.

They are not officially out of the tournament, but there isn't a realistic chance for them. They must use the remainder of the IPL to experiment with the untested players and better prepare for next year's mega auction.

They only need to realize that batters don't win championships and put their money on quality bowlers, especially the local options.

It is fine to copy the winning formula of any successful side and understand what they are doing differently. Most of the successful IPL teams are either Mumbai or Chennai. The mantra for them has been quality bowling options. MI has even scouted for that, and Bumrah is the prime example.

We hope that RCB comes better prepared for the mega auction and makes a better squad so their fans' dreams come closer to reality.

Their loyalty is second to none as the support the home side gets in Bengaluru is unbelievable, and they would be enthralled with joy when their team put their hands on the trophy.

GT vs RCB: Players To Watch Out For

In the IPL match 45 prediction: GT vs RCB contest, the following players from both sides will play a key role for their respective sides.

Virat Kohli

Every game of RCB is incomplete with discussing the name of their former captain, Virat Kohli, who has sweated hard for this franchise, and still, that dream of winning the IPL for him seems far from a reality.

There will be a spectacle of nearly 100k people in the ground in Ahmedabad who would come to support the home side Gujarat but they won't mind if they witness a Virat Kohli masterclass on the weekend.

He still has the Orange cap on his head with 379 runs in eight games and has done nothing wrong with the bat, but the team has been at the bottom of the table.

The right-hander would once again be looking to continue his excellent form and with a glimpse of hope that bowlers won't disappoint them this time.

Faf Du Plessis

The awful batting form of Faf Du Plessis is one of the reasons RCB has been languishing at the bottom of the table. The batting of the Men in Red has still done reasonably well on the back of the performance of other guys.

But if you are not scoring runs as a specialist overseas batsman and have the job of leading the side, then it does not get much easier.

Any captain would always like to walk the talk with his performance and ensure the entire team remains motivated, which is not the case for him.

The RCB skipper has added 239 runs in the competition, and it usually needs to be more convincing.

One thing that puts him on the radar is that he does not play International cricket all year, being retired and then suddenly playing the most challenging league, which does not help either.

The Bengaluru fans would be delighted to see their captain get some dominating runs at the top and put his side in a better position in this away contest.

David Miller

David Miller had an integral part in the last two years for Gujarat when they won the Championship once and were the finalists in another year.

He bats at a critical position and plays the role of a finisher, where the consistency of a batter is not as important as the impact they make.

In this edition, the left-hander has only batted for five innings and added 83 runs, which is way less than his stature and ability.

Gujarat has won and lost four games; the coming matches are vital for their qualification. The home side would embrace a firing David Miller from this fixture, which would give them so much relief.

He can win the game single handedly and has done that numerous times.

IPL Match 45 Prediction: GT vs RCB 

Any IPL game where RCB is playing will always be exciting as they always play an exciting brand of cricket. After losing six games on the trot, Faf and his men will test their skills against Gujarat and it looks like they will change their fortunes in this game.

The visitors' bowlers would aim to bowl better than what they have done so far, and the form of Muhammad Siraj could be something that could ignite the fire in other bowlers too.

The race to playoffs will not be in the mind of RCB as of now and they would rather be happy getting two points from this contest.

The ideal way for RCB to dominate this game would be by batting second and chasing whatever Gujarat puts up for them. The batting depth is already there, and they should not be bothered chasing any target.

However, after losing this game, Gujarat must reassess what went wrong. The fragile middle-order batting could be one of those factor which they need to address.

They still have more optimistic hopes for the final four qualifications than RCB, and a loss here would not end their journey.

Shubman and his men can turn things around even after losing this game at home.

Based on the IPL match 45 prediction: GT vs RCB analysis provided, it appears that Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are likely to win the match against Gujarat Titans (GT).
