IPL 2022 Match 67, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) vs Gujarat Titans (GT): Preview, streaming, fantasy tips

In Match 67 of the 2022 edition of Indian Premier League (IPL), the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Thursday night. For both teams, this is the final game of the league stage, and they have quite a lot at stake.

With 14 points from 13 matches, RCB are still in the race for a Playoffs berth. However, they have a net run rate of -0.323, and their best bet would be to win tonight and hope Mumbai Indians beat Delhi Capitals, who also have 14 points from 13 games but with a positive net run rate.

Tournament debutants Gujarat Titans are flying high, having already secured a spot in Qualifier 1. Though a couple of defeats did not go according to plan, but Gujarat got their campaign back on track with victories over Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants.

Ahead of the Playoffs, Gujarat may look to rest a few players in this game, especially the bowlers. On the other hand, Bangalore will bank on their experienced players to come good in this virtual knockout game. In particular, they need Josh Hazlewood, who leaked 64 in his four overs against Punjab, to get back in the grooves.
