With two wins and two losses, the defending champions find themselves in the second position in the standings. Though the side had a brilliant start, winning back-to-back games, they have suffered disappointing losses in their previous two games against, Mumbai Indians and UP Warriorz, respectively. The Bengaluru side has their last two games left at their home venue and will look to make the most of the remaining games.
On the other hand, Gujarat Giants sit in fifth and last place in the standings with one win in four matches. The Ashleigh Gardner-led team’s campaign has been terrible, and they will aim to improve with a win and hopefully climb the standings, staying in the race for the playoffs. Their sole victory came against the UP-based team.

Pitch report
The pitch at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has so far seen balanced contests, favoring both batters and bowlers. With good pace and bounce, batters can play their shots at will, especially in the powerplay and middle overs. However, bowlers who use variations, whether pacers with slower balls or spinners with flight, have found success. The surface offers some help to seamers, making early wickets in the powerplay crucial. Bowling first remains an advantage, but batters who time the ball well will enjoy batting.
