Less than a week after losing in Bengaluru, the Gujarat Titans get a chance to avenge the result against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru as the teams meet in match #42 of the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL). This match on Thursday at the Narendra Modi Stadium between the 5th-placed Titans and the 2nd-placed RCB comes with our prediction of an away win.

Bengaluru cantered to a nine-wicket win in just 6.3 overs against Delhi on Monday. Josh Hazlewood (4 for 12) bamboozled the batsmen, while Devdutt Padikkal (34* off 13) raced off in the chase.
