IPL 2025, RCB vs GT: Team news
Spinners seldom do well at Chinnaswamy, which is probably why RCB have not invested in them this time. Expect them to field a pace-heavy XI tonight, with Pandya as the lone spinner and Livingstone as back-up. If they bat first, they may get Suyash Sharma as the Impact Player – but if the conditions do not assist spin at all, Rasikh Salam Dar may get a look-in.
It is not clear whether Sai Sudharsan has recovered from his hamstring injury. If he does not play, GT may go in with Anuj Rawat and open with Jos Buttler. Alternately, it may not be a bad idea to go in with Ishant Sharma alongside Siraj and Prasidh, leave Rabada out, and replace Sai Sudharsan with Glenn Phillips.
IPL 2025, RCB vs GT: Pitch and weather report
Since the start of the 2023, the IPL run rate at the Chinnaswamy Stadium has been 9.78 (an average score of 196), the second-highest of all venues with a five-match cut-off. Pacers go for 9.80 an over here (only Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata fare worse), but the spin economy of 9.24 here is the worst after Hyderabad.
On a partly cloudy day, the temperature will drop to about 30°C around the toss and to about 27°C by the time the match ends. There is no chance of rain.
IPL 2025, RCB vs GT: Match prediction
