Earlier Performance in IPL 2016 of both the teams :-

Gujarat Lions started the tournament with back to back wins and out of 7 matches they have won 6 matches and showed every one that they are one of the leading contender of Indian Premier league title. In the middle of the tournament they lost few matches and as we know big teams always make come back at the right time, they won 3 matches later on and topped the points table with 18 points which is highest among other teams. Suresh Raina is the leading run scorer from GL squad scored 397 match in 13 innings. Brendon McCullum is also giving them a firing start with his big hits. Aaron Finch, Dwayne Smith, Dinesh Kartik, Ravindra Jadega and Dwayne Brawo are there who can bat and take convert a small total to big one. In the bowling department, Dwayne Brawo, Dhawal Kulkarni, Praveen Kumar is their holding the pace attack very tightly and in the spin attack Ravindra Jadeja, Shivil Kaushik, and some time Suresh Raina can also bowl. So the teams looks so balanced with the bat as well as with the ball.

Royal Challengers Bangalore is a complete batting package who have big hitter from all around the world. Four exceptionally talented and big hitter of the balls are in the RCB squad and they are, the West Indies  superstar cricketer who is known for his big sky flying sixes Chris Gayle, the South African Legendary cricketer AB de Villiers, the Australian all-rounder Shane Watson who is very effective with the bat and ball too, the Run Machine of India the captain Bangalore Virat Kohli (Current Orange Cap holder). So these four batsman can destroy the spell of any bowler and if two of them batted till last, it will be very difficult for the Gujarat to win the match for sure. In the lower middle order Lokesh Rahul and Sachin baby is also there for the team who also can add quick runs when needed. They have lost 5 matches out of 7 they played in the starting of tournament and the credit goes to their bad bowling performance. But from the last 4 matches their bowling unit improved due to which back to back 4 matches. Also Yazuvendra Chahal is the current Purple Cap holder of IPL 2016 with 19 wickets in 11 matches. Sreenath Aravind, Chris Jordan, Shane Watson are also very economical from last few games. So in the upcoming match against GL if their bowling line up performed like they are doing then surely RCB will win the match.
