GT vs RCB, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 43
The Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Match 43 of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. This will be the first match of the double-header.
The two teams go into battle with contrasting fortunes. Gujarat are on top of the points table, having lost only one of their eight games. Bangalore are fifth, having lost their last two matches.
The standout feature of GT in IPL 2022 has been their ability to win against all odds. This came to the fore in their previous match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) where Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan played blinders to lift the team past the finish line after Umran Malik claimed a brilliant five-fer.
RCB’s batting will be under the scanner on Saturday. They were bundled out for 68 by SRH and 115 by the Rajasthan Royals (RR). Not just Virat Kohli, but captain Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell also need runs. If the batting fires, they have the bowling attack to trouble Gujarat.
Today's IPL toss result
The Royal Challengers Bangalore have won the toss and have opted to bat first. Explaining the reason, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis said:
“We are going to break the trend and have a bat first. Obviously, it is a day game, heat is one factor and I find that when you field first the boys are cooked by the time it is our turn to bat.”
Faf du Plessis has won the toss and Royal Challengers Bangalore will bat first 🏏
