Rajasthan Royals have been in good form since the beginning of the tournament and have played 8 matches. Bengaluru has won its last four matches. Whereas Gujarat Titans team is playing scattered. She has lost 7 out of her 11 matches. That is why not only is Chennai considered to have the upper hand against Gujarat, but it is also being called a golden chance for it.
