Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru – IPL Today's Match Prediction

In this section, we provide our RR vs RCB match predictions, which will hopefully help you bet on the 2024 IPL more confidently.

  • RR vs. RCB Win Probability: RR (47%), RCB (53%)
  • In all IPL playoffs to date, the Rajasthan Royals' win percentage is 44.44% and that of the RCB is 35.71%.
  • RCB did the improbable by sealing the final playoff spot with an epic six-match winning streak, while RR slipped to third on the points table after their previous game was abandoned.
  • This will essentially be a contest between the RCB batters and the RR bowlers. With momentum on the RCB side, Rajasthan will be banking heavily on Yuzi Chahal and Trent Boult to choke the flow of runs and take crucial wickets.
  • Expect a flat batting-friendly wicket at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the venue for this eliminator. With a par score of 175 this season, teams have found more success while batting second on this ground.
RR vs RCB MATCH PREDICTION

The phrase “started from the bottom, now we’re here” perfectly summarises RCB’s astonishing season in this IPL. On the other hand, the Royals, impeccable at the start of the season, seem to have lost their way along the road. We at CBA are predicting the Royal Challengers to come out victorious in this do-or-die encounter, owing to an in-from batting unit and momentum on their side.

That said, we won't write off Rajasthan, as it's a team replete with match winners like Riyan Parag, Sanju Samson, and Yuzvendra Chahal, players who can single-handedly win any T20 game for their team.

Team News

Rajasthan Royals

  • The Royals have lost their last five matches on the trot.
  • Riyan Parag (531 runs in 14 matches) and Yuzvendra Chahal (17 wickets in 13 matches) have been RR’s top performers this season.
  • All eyes will be on Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who will have to fill the void left by Jos Buttler.
  • It will be interesting to see if the RR management plans to give Shimron Hetmyer a chance for this do-or-die encounter.
RAJASTHAN ROYALS PROBABLE XI

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Sanju Samson (C), Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer/Rovman Powell, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, Nandre Burger, Sandeep Sharma, Shubham Dubey (Impact Player)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

  • RCB finished the group stage in style with six consecutive victories.
  • With 708 runs in 14 matches, Virat Kohli is not only RCB’s highest runscorer but also that of the tournament.
  • Yash Dayal, with 15 wickets in 13 matches, is RCB’s top performer with the ball.
  • RCB is likely to head into this match with an unchanged playing XI.
ROYAL CHALLENGERS BENGALURU PROBABLE XI

Key Players

Rajasthan Royals

  • Sanju Samson

Samson has scored 504 runs in 14 matches at an average of 56.00, which includes five half-centuries. He will be eager to lead his team back to winning ways as he faces an inexperienced RCB bowling attack in this important knockout fixture.

  • Riyan Parag

He’s impressed everyone with his aggressive batting in the middle-order. With the ability to hit sixes at will, Parag can turn the course of any game on its head. With 531 runs in 14 matches, Parag will be a nightmare for RCB bowlers if not dealt with early.

  • Yuzvendra Chahal

Despite having an average season compared to other editions, Chahal has still managed to pick up 17 wickets so far. Expect the leggie to put his best foot forward as he goes up against his ex-teammates in this important match.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

  • Virat Kohli

‘King’ Kohli is having a season to remember. From being the top run-getter in the tournament to shutting up people who criticised him for his ‘slow’ strike rate, he has done it all. Apart from being RCB’s top run-scorer in IPL playoffs, Virat is 29 runs away from reaching 8,000 IPL runs.

  • Rajat Patidar

The spin basher has been simply outstanding for RCB this year. Scoring at a strike rate of 179.60, his ability to pick the length early and get into position has helped Patidar hit 31 towering sixes this season. His duel against Chahal and Ashwin should be great to watch.

  • Yash Dayal

He deserves all the praise for his impressive performances with the ball in an otherwise inconsistent RCB bowling attack. Apart from being RCB’s top wicket-taker, Dayal has shown dexterity with the new ball and presence of mind with his smart bowling at the death.
