RR vs RCB: Match Overview

Rajasthan Royals

Even if they have been a bit uneven this season, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have produced enough to remain in the running to place in the top four. To increase their prospects, they will need to win a lot of games in the forthcoming matchups, but their NRR is now rather low.

Bangalore has recently suffered greatly as a result of its over reliance on the top three batters. Glenn Maxwell has circled back to a couple really magnificent thumps, while Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli have been one of the best opening partnerships of the league.

The batters farther down have tried to play though.

Despite hitting a half-century, Mahipal Lomror is second among batsmen in terms of average with 22.17, while Dinesh Kartik averages 14.00 runs per inning. The squad has considerable batting depth thanks to all-rounders like Kedar Jadhav and Wanindu Hasaranga, but they haven’t been able to take advantage of this.

Mohammed Siraj has had several outstanding periods this season and leads the squad in wickets taken by a bowler. Harshal Patel has been of tremendous assistance to him, however, the final solution has been quite pricey. Similarly to this, while both Wanindu Hasaranga and Vyshak Vijaykumar have taken wickets, none has been able to stop the flow of runs.

Josh Hazlewood has only played three games to this far, thus the team is looking for a strong performance from him.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

The Royal Challengers Bangalore have performed well enough to be in the running to place among the top 4 teams despite being quite erratic this season. However, they currently have a very low NRR, so if they want to increase their chances, they will need to score several significant victories in the following games.

Bangalore has recently suffered a lot because of its over-reliance on their top three batters. One of the best opening combinations of the competition has been Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli, with Glenn Maxwell providing some standout performances afterward.

The lower-ranked batters, though, have had difficulty performing.

Mahipal Lomror, who has an average of 22.17 despite having hit one half-century, is the second-best batter in terms of average, and Dinesh Kartik has scored runs at a pace of 14.00 per inning. Thanks to all-rounders like Wanindu Hasaranga and Kedar Jadhav, the squad does have some batting depth, but they haven’t been able to take use of this advantage.

Speaking of bowling, Mohammed Siraj has had a few outstanding stints this year and leads the squad in wickets taken. Harshal Patel has given him good assistance, but the latter has been a bit pricey. The same can be said about Vyshak Vijaykumar and Wanindu Hasaranga, who have taken wickets but failed to stop the runs.

RR vs RCB: Pitch report

The pitches at Sawai Mansingh Stadium haven’t been all that terrific thus yet. There have been some high-scoring occasions, but there have also been two or three matches where the batsmen had to fight. The average first-inning score this season has been about 170. Because of the dryness of the surface and various cracks in the pitch, slower bowlers will find it simpler to get more turns here.

RR vs RCB: Weather report

Over most of the season, which was played on a level surface, we saw high-scoring games and even successful bids to attain a 170+ run total. Recent sluggishness has given spinners some surface assistance. Later in the evening, there couldn’t have been any dew because of the weather’s partly cloudy.

RR vs RCB: Toss prediction

Teams that bat first have won a lot of games this season. Teams would feel comfortable defending a total in these scenarios since the field has typically been slower than average. In Rajasthan, scoring seems to be more difficult than defending it, as we learned in the last game. The pursuit of large scores has been active. In this match, the side that wins the toss won’t second-guess their decision to bat first.

RR vs RCB: Pre-play prediction

Best batter: Sanju Samson (RR), Faf du Plessis (RCB)

Top bowler: Sandeep Sharma (RR), Shahbaz Ahmed (RCB)

Best all-rounder: Shimron Hetmyer (RR), Glenn Maxwell (RCB)

Player of the match: Sanju Samson (RR)

RR vs RCB: Match Prediction

Both clubs have a formidable opening duo, yet the Rajasthan Royals seem to have the advantage based on the performances of the batters deeper down the order. The team’s bowling assault also outperforms that of the opposition. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler are also adept ball strikers. Given that RCB’s bowling is not the finest in the competition, we may expect an early start from the home team in this match. This match ought to be won by the Rajasthan Royals.
