Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) meet Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 52nd fixture of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season 17 on Saturday (May 4) with hopes to remain alive in the race to the playoffs. RCB are reeling at the bottom of the points table but have form on their side.

They are on a two-game winning streak and got better of Titans in the previous meeting by nine wickets. Hence, RCB would want to make the most out of the winning momentum and make it three out of three. 

The inclusion of Will Jacks worked wonders for RCB in the game against Titans. The English player smashed an unbeaten hundred with the help of five fours and 10 sixes to help RCB make mincemeat of the Shubman Gill-led side.

However, RCB's intention can be marred by the ongoing spell of rain in Bengaluru. The city was experiencing a heat wave a few days ago and the sudden precipitation has brought relief to its people.
