RCB vs RR Match Prediction: The goal of Thursday’s IPL encounter between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals is to improve the team’s record at Chinnaswamy Stadium, where it plays. In the three games that RCB has played in this stadium thus far, they have all lost. Due to Sanju Samson’s recuperation from a strained muscle, the captain will not be available. Only a victory can keep Rajasthan’s aspirations alive.
Rajasthan will seek retribution for the earlier setback
Rajasthan will go into this game hoping to exact revenge on RCB for their earlier loss. In actuality, this is the second meeting between the two clubs this season. Rajasthan was defeated by RCB by nine wickets in their home game on April 13 in Jaipur. Right now, the Rajat Patidar-led squad is ranked fourth in the standings. Their net run rate is 0.472 and they have 10 points. However, Rajasthan has lost six of their last eight games and now sits in ninth place with four points.
RCB is superior to Rajasthan
When comparing the two teams’ head-to-head records, RCB is ahead of Rajasthan. There have been 33 games between the two teams, with RCB winning 16 and Rajasthan winning 14. Three matches were inconclusive at the same time. Rajasthan’s greatest score against this squad was 217 runs, while RCB’s highest score against Rajasthan was 200.
Report on M.Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch
Batsmen find M Chinnaswamy’s pitch in Bengaluru to be beneficial. The bowling side does not benefit much from this pitch. In addition, many fours and sixes are struck because of the short boundary. This explains why Chinnaswamy matches are so high scoring. This hasn’t been observed yet this season, though. The 200-run mark has not been reached in the three games played here this season. The pursuing team has won all three games aside from this. It is obvious that the toss will play a crucial part in this scenario, and the team that wins the toss will undoubtedly prefer to bowl first.
