Preview :

Royals Challengers Bangalore will square of the against Gujarat Titans in the 67th game of the Tata IPL 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Both the teams have played 13 games each this season so far, where Royal Challengers Bangalore won 7 games while Gujarat Titans won 10 games. Gujarat Titans are placed at the top of the table, while Royal Challengers Bangalore are sitting at the fifth spot.

There was a time in the tournament when the Royal Challengers Bangalore were eyeing the top of the table spot but a disastrous second half meant that they are struggling to even qualify for the next round. Even a win here in this upcoming match will not ascertain their place in the playoff, thanks to their poor net run rate.
As it currently stands on the points table, they are placed at the fifth spot, behind the Capitals, with 14 points to their name. They have a pretty poor net run rate of -0.323, but that will not matter if they are able to register a win here and the Capitals lose their match against Mumbai Indians.

Gujarat Titans to not only be the first team to qualify for the next round but also finish at the top of the table. Thanks to an optimal team performance in the tournament so far, they are leading the points table with 10 wins from 13 matches. Along with the 20 points, they have a net run rate of 0.391, which just shows how dominant they have been right throughout the tournament.
The Titans already have a top-spot confirmed already and might well be looking to rest a few of their senior players. While that would present the Royal Challengers with an opening, the Titans will still not be an easy side with, especially given the sheer number of match-winners they have.
