RR Team News & Playing 11

RR Team News

Captain Ajinkya Rahane has been fined Rs. 12 lakh as Rajasthan Royals maintained a slow over-rate in their previous match against the Chennai Super Kings. The Royals might be tempted to bench Jaydev Unadkat who has been expensive in each of the three matches and bring in Varun Aaron instead. Australian all-rounder Ashton Turner has joined the team and there is a chance that he could be included in the playing eleven at the expense of Steven Smith. Rahane and Jos Buttler will continue to open the batting with Sanju Samson coming in at number three. Jofra Archer and Dhawal Kulkarni will be leading the team's pace attack while Krishnappa Gowtham and Shreyas Gopal will be the two spinners in the side.

RR Key Players

Rajasthan Royals have plenty of firepower in their batting line-up but the ones who will be holding the key for them are Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Steven Smith (assuming he plays) and Ben Stokes. All eyes will be on Buttler and he will be expected to take the team off to a flying start which will allow skipper Ajinkya Rahane to play his natural game. Samson was stunning in his unbeaten 102 against Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Royals will want him to replicate that form against RCB. Stokes is another one to watch out for due to his all-round abilities. The Englishman is coming off a good knock of 46 against CSK and has so far taken the most wickets for his side. Jofra Archer returned impressive figures of 2-17 last time and the onus will be on him to provide breakthroughs in the powerplay. Shreyas Gopal has three wickets in as many games at an economy of 6.87 and the leg-spinner will have a big role to play in the middle overs.

RR Recent Form

Rajasthan Royals are still searching for their first win of the Indian Premier League 2019 after having played three league matches and they are currently occupying the seventh place on the points table. They started off their campaign with a 14-run loss to Kings XI Punjab before facing defeats against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets and 8 runs respectively. The Royals have been doing a good job with the bat but it is the bowling that seems to be their Achilles heel.

RCB Team News & Playing 11

RCB Team News

Royal Challengers Bangalore made just the one change to their line-up in the last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. They dropped medium pacer Navdeep Saini and gave an opportunity to the 16-year old leg-spinner Prayas Barman who became the youngest player to make a debut in the IPL. RCB, however, could bring back Saini for this game as Barman was ineffective with the ball last time, conceding 56 runs off his four overs. Australian teammates Nathan Coulter-Nile and Marcus Stoinis are now available for selection and they could replace Colin de Grandhomme and Shimron Hetmyer respectively. If Stonis gets a game here, RCB could use him to open the batting along with Parthiv Patel.

RCB Key Players

Royal Challengers Bangalore will be counting on their seniors pros in AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli to make healthy contributions with the bat on Tuesday night. de Villiers is their leading run-scorer at the moment and he is looking in good nick with a strike-rate of over 150. Kohli is yet to make a mark this season and the skipper is expected to make a strong comeback. Moeen Ali and Marcus Stoinis (if he gets to play) are two other vital cogs in the team’s batting line-up. The former could again open the bowling for RCB and he will look to produce a few false shots from the batsmen with his off-breaks. Yuzvendra Chahal, however, is the x-factor in this bowling attack. The wrist-spinner, who is amongst the tournament's top bowlers with six wickets at an acceptable economy rate of 7.33, is more likely to bag the best figures for RCB in this match.

RCB Recent Form

Royal Challengers Bangalore are the only other team besides Rajasthan Royals who are yet to open their account on the points table this season. They have played three matches so far and have suffered defeats in each of those. RCB, after losing the tournament opener by seven wickets to Chennai Super Kings, put up an improved performance against the Mumbai Indians at home but failed to get themselves over the line. They will be even more disappointed with their effort in the last game where they received a 118-run thrashing at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad.

RCB Predicted Playing 11

Parthiv Patel (wk), Shimron Hetmyer/Marcus Stoinis, Virat Kohli (c), AB de Villiers, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Colin de Grandhomme/Nathan Coulter-Nile, Prayas Barman/Navdeep Saini, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal

­RR vs RCB Prediction

Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are yet to garner their first points on the IPL 2019 leaderboard and so there will be an equal amount of pressure on both these teams. The Royals have the ability to hold their nerve better in crunch situations which gives them the edge over RCB. Home advantage is another point that goes in favor of the Royals. However, their defeat against KXIP earlier at this ground should give RCB some hope going into this game. The Virat Kohli-led side have now suffered two batting failures in three games and they need to resolve the issues in their batting quickly. Rajasthan Royals look stronger on paper and will have the support of the home crowd behind them which is why we are backing them to win this match.
