Indian T20 League 2022: Bangalore vs Gujarat Fantasy Cricket Match-Ups

In a must-win clash, Bangalore will play against table-toppers Gujarat at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. The Faf du Plessis-led franchise, with a net run rate of -0.323, must register a big win and hope Mumbai do them a favor by beating Delhi. Also, a victory for Bangalore will automatically eliminate Punjab and Hyderabad.

Gujarat will be aiming to become the first franchise since Punjab in the 2014 season to pick up 11 wins in the league stage. They sealed a top-of-the-table finish after a resounding seven-wicket victory over Chennai on Sunday.
