MPL T20 2026: Match 45, GC vs RNE Match Prediction – Who will win today’s MPL T20 match between Gwalior Cheetahs vs Royal Nimar Eagles?

The Gwalior Cheetahs (GC) take on the Royal Nimar Eagles (RNE) in Match 45 of the Madhya Pradesh T20 League 2026 at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Wednesday, June 24. This is the final game of the league stage in 2026.

The Cheetahs have played seven matches, winning three and losing four. With two games remaining, they will need wins in both matches to stand a chance of qualifying and will need to win both games with big margins to sort out their net run rate.

The Eagles sit comfortably in second place on the table, with seven wins from eight games. They will be looking to finish with a win to carry momentum into the knockout stages. They have been one of the most dominant sides all season and will look to finish their debut run on a high.

The Holkar Stadium in Indore is one of India's best batting venues. The ball comes onto the bat very easily since the wicket is on the flatter end. With a quick outfield and comparatively small boundaries, scoring in fours and sixes is simple. This is a ground where large runs are scored because totals above 200 have been chased down and defended in several games during the 2026 season. With this game being in the evening, the effect of dew is expected to be prominent.

This is the first-ever fixture between these two teams.

He has been one of the breakout stars of the season, and the Cheetahs will need runs from their star batter in their hopes of a knockout spot.
