RR vs RCB Match Prediction & Preview

The Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are set to clash heads on Thursday when they battle it out at the Dubai International Stadium.

Sanju Samson’s side will need to continue their strong recent form if they are any chance of making the playoffs this season, with games against the Sunrisers (8th), RCB (3RD) and Super Kings (1st) coming up, it’s crucial they get at least two wins.

If the Royals are to win, they will have to break a run of three consecutive heavy defeats at the hands of Bangalore. Internationals Liam Livingstone and David Miller will have to step up in the remaining fixtures.

Meanwhile, the Royal Challengers cruised to a 54-run triumph over the Mumbai Indians. Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell starred with the bat, both making half-centuries as they ended their three-match losing streak.

However, their most underrated threat is their depth and quality in the bowling department. Harshal Patel has been by far the best bowler in the competition with 23 wickets, whilst Yuzvendra Chahal and Maxwell could also prove dangerous on a slow Dubai pitch.

It has the makings to be an intriguing contest, in which I believe the Royal Challengers will continue their recent dominance over the Rajasthan Royals.
