IPL 2023 GT vs RCB preview, rains delays toss, 10:56 PM cut-off for 5-over match

Gujarat Titans (GT) are set to go against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) during the last match of the league stages on Sunday. The high-stakes match is clouded by the incessant rains that are lashing the city of Bangalore for the past two days. As the rain continues, the toss was delayed and 10:56 PM is kept as the cut-off for a five-over match between both teams.

Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 8 wickets on Sunday and has now replaced RCB in the Top 4 with 16 points. With the changed dynamics, RCB fans are keeping their fingers crossed and are praying to see at least a fight by their team.

With 14 points RCB is currently number 5, but has superior Net Run Rate (NRR) to MI and can still take back its place in the Top 4 if it gets the chance to play.

In the previous two faceoffs at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore RCB and GT have an equalizer and both teams won once each. The highest and lowest total of RCB against GT has been 170, while GT’s highest total against RCB has been 174 and lowest is 168.
