Bengaluru rain prediction today: What are the chances of rain during the RCB vs GT match in IPL 2024?

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will host the Gujarat Titans in an IPL 2024 fixture at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, May 4.

The two teams met a few days back at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where the Royal Challengers won by nine wickets. Batting first, Sai Sudarshan and Shahrukh Khan's half-centuries guided the Titans to 200/3 in their 20 overs.

RCB chased down the target in just 16 overs, riding on Will Jack's 41-ball 100, including five boundaries and 10 maximums. Virat Kohli also chipped in with a 44-ball 70.

GT, who are placed eighth in the standings, will be desperate to return the favor this time around. A win also will help them move up in the points table and keep their hope of making it to the playoffs alive.

RCB, meanwhile, secured only their third win of the season when they beat Gujarat in the last game. They are currently placed at the bottom of the standings with six points and will look to move up in the standings with a win tonight.

With both teams vying to jump up in the points table, a cracking contest beckons fans in Bengaluru tonight. Speaking of the weather, the city witnessed thunderstorms last night after a dry spell that saw temperature touch the 41-degrees Celsius mark.

However, there is no rainfall in the forecast for Saturday in Bengaluru, according to Accuweather. There will be intermittent clouds in some parts but it unlikely to cause any rain. Thus, an uninterrupted contest is on the cards on Saturday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
