Gujarat Titans are all set to clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 4, Saturday, at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The 2022 winners are having a below-average campaign in the current season. The Shubman Gill-led side registered their second consecutive and fourth overall win of the season as they slumped to the Faf du Plessis-led side by a margin of nine wickets in their last game.
The previous winners are seated at the bottom third spot above Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. While the fears of elimination loom over the franchise, they will still likely make it to the top four. According to the current scenario, Rajasthan Royals are all qualified but need the ‘Q’ against their name. Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants, and Delhi Capitals have 10 points each.
While Delhi have already lost five games, they have the least chances, and KKR, CSK, SRH, and LSG are in the must-win zone. Titans, with Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians need to win all their remaining matches to be in contention of qualifying. By winning all their games now, Gujarat will have 16 points, which would be enough for them to qualify.
Hence, Shubman Gill and Co. cannot afford to lose any of their games now, and if they drop even a single game, they would probably be out of the race.
