The race for a place in the IPL 2026 final begins with the Qualifier 1 clash between defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru and former champions Gujarat Titans. The match will take place at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala, which is one of the most beautiful cricket stadiums in the world, with the game starting at 7:30 PM IST.

RCB ended the league stage as table-toppers despite suffering a defeat in their last league match. Their bowling attack struggled in that game, and the team will be eager to bounce back with a stronger performance in the playoffs.

On the other hand, the Gujarat Titans head into this contest with a win. Their bowling lineup has been one of the strongest in the tournament, while the top-order batting trio has been in outstanding touch.
