The inaugural champions Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on each other in the 13th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Tuesday.
Rajasthan Royals have got off to a perfect start as they have won both of their matches convincingly and they would aim to continue their winning impetus.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore lost their opening encounter against Punjab Kings despite posting 205 runs on the board. However, RCB bounced back stronger in their next match as they won against Kolkata Knight Riders by three wickets in a thrilling contest.
Dinesh Karthik and Harshal Patel had added the finishing touches for RCB against KKR after their bowlers had done a fine job. However, RCB would want to come up with a better batting performance as they had their work cut against KKR in the run-chase.
Meanwhile, RR has been ticking the right boxes with both bat as well as the ball. Jos Buttler was at his absolute best against MI as he scored a fine hundred whereas their bowling unit has been right on the money.
RR has the players who can take them far this season and their bowling line-up is one of the best in the tournament.
Match Prediction: Royal Challengers Bangalore will enter the contest as favorites against Rajasthan Royals.
Rajasthan Royals Probable Playing XI: Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna.
RCB Probable Playing 11: Faf du Plessis (c), Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Wanindu Hasaranga, David Willey, Harshal Patel, Shahbaz Ahmed, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj.
