Preview

RR vs RCB Match Prediction Both sides are coming off victories in their previous meetings and will be trying to keep the winning streak going. The club from Jaipur has won both of their games so far and is now leading the points table with an amazing net run rate. Sanju Samson has commanded the team admirably, and their bowling attack appears to be tough.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore, on the other side, lost their opening game against the Punjab Kings after failing to defend 205 runs in 20 overs. They did, however, win their following game against the Kolkata Knight Riders, but not convincingly, as they nearly stalled in a low-scoring chase. They’ll be seeking a clinical win to boost their team’s confidence. Meanwhile, Glenn’s return will provide the team with a boost.

Key Players

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli was removed for 12 in the last game against the Kolkata Knight Riders after smashing two superb boundaries, and he will be keen for a big score. With an unbeaten 29-ball 41 against the Punjab Kings, the right-hander got off to a fantastic start and has looked in excellent form anytime he has been at the bat. In important games, he loves to step up, and he’ll have a significant part to play against Rajasthan Royals’ star-studded bowling attack.

Harshal Patel

Harshal Patel had a wonderful season with the Royal Challengers Bangalore last year, and he is off to a great start this year. In his previous game against the Kolkata Knight Riders, the right-arm seamer took 2 for 11 and bowled two maidens in the middle overs. In the previous two seasons, he has developed into a match-winner for the team and is particularly good in the death overs, making him one of RCB’s most potent alternatives.

Team News

• Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, and Shimron Hetmyer have been in fantastic form with the bat and will be difficult to manage for the RCB bowlers, who are relatively inexperienced.
• Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal might pose a serious danger to the Challengers’ batting line-up, which isn’t known for its ability to handle spin.

RR vs RCB Match Tips

RR opener Jos Buttler set the tone with a blazing century off just 67 balls at the top, while Sanju Samson (30 runs) and Shimron Hetmyer (35 runs) delivered the firepower against Mumbai Indians. RCB, on the other hand, came close to sabotaging their 129-run chase against Kolkata Knight Riders in their last game when they were left reeling at 17/3 with their top three hitters back in the pavilion. While the game might go either way, Rajasthan Royals appear to be a somewhat more balanced team, especially given their recent performance. Given that, as well as the other variables mentioned above, a pink victory is expected. Rajasthan Royals are expected to win their third consecutive match.

Today’s match prediction:  RR will win the match.
