A dominant Rajasthan Royals (RR) will look to continue their winning ways as the team takes on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on 5 April at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.
RR have had an ideal start in this edition of the Indian Premier League. Sanju Samson’s side trounced Sunrisers Hyderabad in their opening game by 61 runs.
After that, Rajasthan managed to beat Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians in their second game. RR batter Ross Buttler slammed a ton to take the team to 193 in their last outing. If we look at RR’s bowling attack, Yuzvendra Chahal continues to work his magic with the ball. The right-arm leg spinner is currently placed third on the list of top wicket takers list.
As for RCB, the Faf du Plessis-led side would look for another victory after their final-over win against Kolkata Knight Riders.
The team has had a mixed run so far in the tournament. In their opening game, RCB bowlers failed to defend a target of 206 against an attacking Punjab Kings. In the second match, the bowling attack did step up, with Wanindu Hasaranga scalping four wickets. However, with the exception of Shahbaz Ahmed and Sherfane Rutherford, none of the batters managed to score over 20 runs. RCB will need its batting to step up against an experienced RR bowling attack.
