IPL 2022, Match 67, RCB vs GT preview: Can Bangalore defeat Gujarat to qualify for the playoffs?

IPL 2022: At the business end of the competition, Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Gujarat Titans in their last match on Thursday at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

Faf du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bangalore will have to win against Gujarat as they are placed 5th on the points table with 14 points. Delhi Capitals also have 14 points and are placed 4th as RCB lost their previous match. If RCB win against GT and DC lose to MI, RCB will have 16 points and will qualify for the playoffs but if Delhi win, RCB's chances to qualify are uncertain as their run rate of - 0.323 is not good enough.

On the other hand, Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans have been enjoying their maiden IPL season as they are the only team to have officially qualified for the playoffs so far. The team will not have to worry even if they lose against Bangalore as their top finish on the points table is already confirmed. Having won 10 out of 13 matches, GT has 20 points and is placed at the top of the points table.
