IPL 2024: RCB vs GT Head-to-Head Records- Match 52
When Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will look back at their journey, a few of their defeats by close margins will hurt them so much. Going into the RCB vs GT clash, Bengaluru is at the bottom of the ladder, with only three wins in 10 games.
This could have been six wins easily, had they held their nerve during the one-run defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders, or the 28-run loss against Lucknow Super Giants, or while they fell short by 25 runs in a 287-run chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
Bowling in the middle overs (7-15) allows a team to manage the opponents. Before the RCB vs GT clash, the former’s 9.96 economy was the second lowest among the ten teams in this IPL 2024, while even with three top-class spinners led by Rashid Khan, Gujarat Titans had an economy of 8.68 during these nine overs.
The latter has picked up the lowest wickets (17) in this period, which has been because of the struggle of Rashid Khan, who has just eight wickets in this IPL 2024 so far at an economy of 8. His average which generally remains in the early 20s, has gone up to 38.
Even with their lack of top-class spinners, Bengaluru have taken 23 wickets, which is too quite average. But the fact that has hurt them the most is they have been smashed for the most sixes- 52 in this tournament in the middle overs.
However, with the bat in hand, Bengaluru have been excellent in this 7-15 over period. Their 45 sixes is the most among all the ten franchises, while Gujarat’s 15 are the lowest. The champions of the 2022 side go at a strike rate of 122.04, which is the lowest of the IPL between the powerplay and the death overs. Bengaluru, on the other hand, have scored the third most runs (773) in this period.
Whichever team brings improvement in their middle over bowling in this RCB vs GT encounter, will come on top in the results.
