Shubman Gill was named player of the match.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Tomorrow is a rematch from Qualifier 1 where RCB dominated GT by 92 runs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the IPL title in 2025 so they\u2019re looking to go back-to-back. Last year was their first championship after 18 years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">From a betting perspective, this is a high-scoring batting paradise in Ahmedabad, so expect 200+ totals with true bounce helping the batters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">RCB topped the league and beat GT recently, but GT showed plenty of fight by chasing 215 in Qualifier 2.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">For bettors, Gill\u2019s running an MVP campaign, and enters the championship match in top form. And while Gill has been grabbing the headlines, Sai Sudharsan remains one of the tournament\u2019s most reliable top-order batters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Gill and Sudharsan chased 215 with ease against Rajasthan \u2013 bettors will be heavily focused on their runs, boundaries and partnership markets, more value rich than picking an outright winner especially when conditions favor high-scoring play.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>BEST BETS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">In <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"editor-link\" href=\"https:\/\/betway.com\/g\/en\/sports\/cat\/cricket\"><u>cricket betting<\/u><\/a> at Betway, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (-125) vs. Gujarat Titans (+105), tomorrow, Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, 10 a.m. EST<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Gujarat Titans Moneyline (+105)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">The Titans have the tournament\u2019s most consistent batting unit and come into the match with momentum after yesterday\u2019s win in Qualifier 2.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Both Gill and Sudharsan are giving them explosive starts nearly every match. If Gill and Sudharsan survive the powerplay, Gujarat has the firepower to spoil RCB\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Virat Kohli Total Runs 20 Overs (O 34.5 -118)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Kohli, one of the great batsmen in cricket history, and a cornerstone of RCB, been in stellar form all season on these flat tracks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Narendra is typically a high-scoring batting paradise with true bounce and short boundaries, ideal for Kohli\u2019s aggressive playing style (high strike rate this season).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Kohli is the IPL all-time leading run scorer, with over 9,200 runs in over 280 matches, and has been in great form this year for RBC \u2013 600 runs in 15 matches.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">RCB dominated GT by 92 runs in Qualifier 1, and Kohli thrives in these environments \u2013 big games with massive RCB fan support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Shubman Gill Total Runs 20 Overs (O 33.5 -118)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Gill is in amazing form and just produced a match-winning century in a pressure playoff game against Rajasthan Royals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Sai Sudharsan 30+ Runs (-138)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">An obvious prop since one of the tournament\u2019s most consistent batters should get through the powerplay and into the middle overs. Sudharsan has spent much of the season near the top of the Orange Cap race and has sat among the IPL\u2019s leading run scorers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Plus, opening batters get the maximum opportunity to score. He\u2019s not going to need a career day to hit this mark.<\/p>\n"}],"brief_description":"RCB seeks back-to-back IPL titles, but Gujarat's explosive top order makes Sunday's final a bettor's must-watch"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118509"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118509\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":118511,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118509\/revisions\/118511"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
