The average total here is around 195-205, and the dew also makes an impact in the second innings. There is nothing much for the bowlers, and it will be a flat deck for the batters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>GT vs RCB Possible XIs<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>GT<\/strong>: Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Shubman Gill (c), Shahrukh Khan, Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>RCB<\/strong>: Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethell, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (c), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Krunal Pandya, Josh Hazlewood, Rasikh Salam Dar<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>GT vs RCB Player to Watch Out For<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Probable<\/strong> <strong>Best<\/strong> <strong>Batter<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sai Sudharsan and Virat Kohli have been in great form for two sides.

For GT, Kagiso Rabada has been in good form and bowling consistently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Today<\/strong> <strong>Match<\/strong> <strong>Prediction<\/strong>: GT have a weak middle order, which has cost them multiple games.
