Throughout the tournament, they looked like the team to beat and extended their dominance with a title run in 2025. The Titans, who missed out on the top league spot based on net run rate, earned their redemption by fighting through Qualifier 2. They have seen a solid resurgence after their initial playoff setback and head into the final hoping to lift the trophy on their home ground.
The two teams have met three times this season, with RCB holding a 2-1 lead after the recent playoff encounter. In their first encounter on April 24, Sai Sudarshan scored a brilliant century as the Titans scored 205/3 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Thanks to Virat Kohli's brilliant 81 runs, RCB easily achieved the target.
In the reverse match in Ahmedabad on 30 April, the Titans equalized and Rajat Patidar's team was bowled out for 155 with the help of three wickets from Arshad Khan and achieved the target with four wickets to spare. However, the stakes were at its peak in Qualifier 1 in Dharamshala, where RCB defeated GT by 92 runs after posting a playoff-record 254 for 5 on the back of Patidar's explosive 93* off 33 balls.
