Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru are the narrow favourites to defend their title as they prepare to face Gujarat Titans in the 2026 IPL Final this weekend.
The two teams met in Qualifier 1 of this season's IPL on Tuesday as Royal Challengers Bengaluru comfortably booked their place in the final with a 92-run victory.
Gujarat had the safety net of Qualifier 2 to fall back on and they joined RCB courtesy an impressive win against Rajasthan Royals on Friday.
After being set an imposing target of 215 from their 20 overs, Gujarat were able to secure victory with eight balls to spare as a Shubman Gill century inspired a seven-wicket triumph.
