Who would want to be a bowler in this year's Indian Premier League? The days of a team being happy with a total of 170 are long gone. Anything under 200 is now met with a shrug of the shoulders and a word to the media of "well, if we can bowl well and take some early wickets then we might have a chance!"
There is no doubt that teams have now got to grips with the 'Impact Sub Rule' and that is another factor in the high scores in this year's tournament.
Both Gujarat Titans and RCB will feel that they have under-performed so far this season but strong second halves of the campaign could well see them into the play-offs. Particularly RCB can not waste any more games though which makes this match all the more tasty!

Gujarat Titans won by 6 wkts
Gujarat Titans have a trio of high-performing batters in skipper Shubman Gill, young left-hander Sai Sudharsan and the South African supremo David Miller. Then when you throw in the so called 'bowling' all-rounder Rashid Khan, you can see why this team should be posting consistently high totals. Rashid's batting has always been under-rated with the fact that his bowling is so strong seeing him pigeon-holed as a bowling all-rounder.
The bowling has been the part which has under-performed for Gujarat Titans with Rashid not up to his usual consistent standards. Mohit Sharma also went for many runs in the last game but spinner Sai Kishore has a strong record in Ahmedabad.

Although Virat Kohli top scored for RCB in their last game, it was Rajat Patidar who took the Player of the Match Award after a brilliant 20-ball 50 which turned the game in the favour of the Bengaluru Boys!
Scoring runs has actually been a strength for RCB over recent matches and they again posted a score of 200+ in the win over Sunrisers Hyderabad.
What did surprise the cricket-watching public though was the top-drawer bowling performance. Mohammed Siraj returned figures of 0/20 from four overs, Karn Sharma took 2/29 and Cameron Green also impressed with 2/12 from his 12 deliveries.
More of the same and RCB will be a genuine force in the competition.

We can expect a dry and very warm afternoon on Sunday in Ahmedabad. There is no chance of any rainfall and the humidity levels will be low throughout the game.

Average TurnAlthough there are clearly higher scoring venues than here at the Narendra Modi Stadium, whoever bats first will certainly be targeting 200 as a par total in this game.
Of the 31 IPL fixtures to have been played at this venue in Ahmedabad, 17 have been won by the team chasing and that includes the last three games here. Therefore, it would be a huge shock if either of the skippers chose to bat first after winning the toss.
RCB have certainly turned a corner with their performances producing a very narrow defeat and a victory from their last two games. However, Gujarat Titans have played more consistent cricket across this season so far and we are predicting a home win in this match.
