Playing this IPL's last league stage match, Royal Challengers Bangalore would know what exactly is required of them to qualify for the playoffs, when they face table-toppers Gujarat Titans in Bengaluru on Sunday. With batting maestro Virat Kohli back at his absolute best and skipper Faf du Plessis leading from the front with 600-plus runs this season, RCB will hope their dazzling opening duo fires in this must-win game for them. Currently placed at fourth position, Royal Challengers Bangalore also have a better net run rate (NRR) of 0.180 than Mumbai Indians (-0.128), who take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in Sunday's first game, and Rajasthan Royals.
The MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings are in a good position in the IPL 2023 points table. Going into their last league phase game against Delhi Capitals in an away fixture on Saturday, they are placed second with 15 points from 13 games. They have a healthy run-rate of +0.381.

Royal Challengers Bangalore superstar Virat Kohli scripted history in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, scoring his 6th hundred in the Indian Premier League. Kohli's century played a crucial role in the Bengaluru franchise's victory which was crucial to their survival in the playoffs race. The feat took Kohli level with the legendary Chris Gayle in terms of the most number of triple-digit scores in the T20 league. As the Indian cricketing spectrum celebrated Kohli's remarkable feat, even the Universe Boss lauded his former RCB teammate.
Manchester City put on a masterclass to drub Real Madrid in an UEFA Champions League semi-final. City thrashed the Spanish giants 4-0 at the Etihad for a 5-1 aggregate victory that exacted revenge for a dramatic semi-final exit to Madrid 12 months ago. Pep Guardiola's men are not just closing in on the trophy the club's owners have desired since an Abu-Dhabi backed takeover in 2008 began pouring billions of pounds of investment into the club.
