RR Vs RCB Match Prediction

RR Vs RCB Match Preview

In the first knockout game of the playoffs in the Indian Premier League 2024, RR will be up against a confident RCB. Rajasthan Royals were excellent in the first half, in contrast to RCB, who had a hapless campaign until the mid-league stage. Rajasthan Royals have lost form in the last few games, and they must get their act together in this contest. RCB is the turnaround story this year, and they shall aim to ride on the momentum.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have won six games in a row. The side has key players peaking at the right time and will look to ride this momentum. In contrast, the Rajasthan Royals have been in trouble with ordinary performances in the last few games.

Rajasthan Royals Preview

The Sanju Samson team is not very confident going into this match. In the final game, they were tied with the Kolkata Knight Riders for points due to inclement weather. They are in a do-or-die situation and need to get back on track after dropping their last four games. Fighting against a team with great momentum, RR will want a stronger performance from their players.

Buttler is a big miss in this crucial content. Yashasvi Jaiswal with Tom Kohler-Cadmore need to provide RR with a strong opening stand. Samson intends to take the lead and form alliances with Dhruv Jurel and Riyan Parag. The squad anticipates strong hitting from Rovman Powell, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Shimron Hetmyer during the game.

Rajasthan Royals - Who Will Be The Best Batter?

Captain Sanju Samson has scored 504 runs so far in the tournament with a strike rate of 156.52. In the absence of Buttler, he is expected to bear more responsibility to take RR through to the next stage. We expect him to be the best batter for RR in this crucial encounter.

Rajasthan Royals - Who Will Be The Best Bowler?

Yuzvendra Chahal, who recently became the all time leading wicket taker, will be crucial at the venue that has traditionally seen spinners like Rashid Khan perform well. Chahal is also the leading wicket taker for RR this season. He was part of the RCB franchise in the previous season, which might help him plan better against players like Kohli.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Preview

The squad led by Faf du Plessis has silenced all cricket commentators with one of the most remarkable comebacks in IPL history. They finished ahead of the Chennai Super Kings on the points table after defeating them by 27 runs in their last game. The club had only triumphed once in its first eight games, but this was its sixth straight victory. The captain of the RCB would hope to capitalize on this trend and lead his team to victory in the second qualifier.

The team anticipates fireworks from them since Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis have had a strong opening to games recently. Maxwell, Green, and Dinesh Karthik add depth to the batting.

Glenn Maxwell and Mohammed Siraj must bowl effectively with the new ball because the Rajasthan Royals' top order hasn't played well lately. Yash Dayal would feel good after bowling the final over, winning the match against CSK. He needs to bowl tight lines in the middle overs with Lockie Ferguson and Swapnil Singh. Karn Sharma and Green give the attack more nuance. 

Royal Challengers Bangalore - Who Will Be The Best Batter?

It’s difficult to look past Kohli here. He has scored more than 700 runs so far and is the current orange cap holder. He has a tendency to rise to the occasion. He has averaged 64 this season and looks set to be the top batter for RCB again.

Yash Dayal has been instrumental in RCB’s comeback this year. He has taken 15 wickets in the 13 matches so far at an economy of 8.94. He showed the presence of mind with those back-of-the-hand slower balls that helped RCB beat CSK to qualify for the playoffs.

RR Vs RCB - Who Will Be The Player Of The Match?

There are many contenders here, like Faf du Plessis, Sanju Samson, and Yuzvendra Chahal, but it will eventually boil down to Virat Kohli to take RCB through to qualifier 2. Thus, we predict Virat will be the man of the match in the eliminator.
