RAJ vs BLR Match Preview
Rajasthan Royals had a chance to book their spot among the top two teams in the league stage. But a stutter in the latter stages of the league stage pushed them down to the third position in the points table. They lost four of their last five games, with the previous game being washed out. The loss of Jos Buttler , who has left for international duties, will affect their batting composition. Yashasvi Jaiswal came into the tournament with lots of expectations but has been disappointing so far. RR will be relying on its in-form batters Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag to play as many overs as possible. On the bowling front, they have the experience of Trent Boult upfront. R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal are one of the most experienced spinners in the squad and will be expected to deliver in a crunch game.
Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bengaluru are having a superb run of form. They will be high on confidence after a morale-boosting victory over CSK in the last game. Virat Kohli is at the forefront of their success, having scored the most runs this season so far. Other batters like Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, and Dinesh Karthik have given him good company. Patidar's gameplay against spin has been commendable but he will be tested against two quality spinners in RR's bowling line-up. RCB's bowling line-up has done a good job collectively in the second half of the league stage. Mohammed Siraj and Yash Dayal have been good with the new ball and at the death. But it will be interesting to see how their spinners perform in a do-or-die game.
