RCB vs RR Match Preview:
Bangalore batters had a night to forget in their previous match. None of the batters could play long enough as the team got bowled out for 68. RCB will be facing a similar sort of bowling in this match, clubbed with two high-quality spinners. Mahipal Lomror might replace Anuj Rawat in the playing XI, while Virat Kohli might get shifted to opening.
With batting not being up to the mark, bowlers will need to step up, especially against RR's batting lineup. Mohammad Siraj's overs in the powerplay will be the key.
Despite a thin betting depth, RR's batting order has been performing brilliantly this season. Jos Buttler is in a form of his life. Sanju Samson, Devdutt Padikkal, and Shimron Hetmyer have played the perfect support role to Buttler.
Rajasthan's bowling is tough to face. Trent Boult with the new ball, Prasidh Krishna's pace & bounce, R Ashwin's defensive bowling, and Yuzvendra Chahal's leg-spin masterclass are very hard to get away.
