TEAMS PREVIEW

Rajasthan Royals Preview

Jos Buttler set the match with his whirlwind century off just 67 balls at the top while the duo of Sanju Samson (30 runs) and Shimron Hetmyer (35 runs) provided the firepower at the other end. Youngsters Devdutt Padikkal, Riyan Parag, and Jaiswal need to step up with their performances. They might opt for James Neesham in provide more depth in batting and bowling departments.

Pacers Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna picked up 3 wickets each and have formed an excellent new ball duo for the team. Yuzi Chahal is having a brilliant season with 5 wickets with Ashwin bowling superbly to restrict the batters effectively in middle overs. Navdeep Saini picked up 2 wickets last night but leaked a few runs.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Mumbai will have bright and sunny weather on the match day with weather interruptions. We expect dew to have a big impact in the second innings of the match.

Venue Details

Wankhede has a slightly tacky wicket and the new ball in expected to swing around troubling the batters. We expect the batters to play sensibly and lead their team to totals in the range of 160-180 runs on this pitch.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams batting second won all the 3 matches played here so far and dew might tempt the captains to chase the total here.

RR vs RCB
Winning Prediction

RR has a quality batting line-up till No.7 batters lack the depth in their lower order batting. RCB`s batting depth came to their rescue act in the last match and helped them secure 2 crucial points. RR has 4 quality bowlers with fifth bowler being an issue so far while RCB`s bowling has been inconsistent and they need play more attackingly in this match. We expect RCB to win this match owing to their batting and bowling depth.

RCB will win the match
