The Royal Challengers Bangalore managed to sneak out a victory in the super over against Mumbai Indians. They had positives in the form of Aaron Finch, Devdutt Padikkal, and AB De Villiers, all of who made half-centuries to get their side over 200. However, RCB’s death bowling and fielding still remain their Achilles Heel. Despite that, they are likely to field the same side and not make changes.

As for Rajasthan Royals, after a strong start to their campaign, capped by two victories in Sharjah, Kolkata Knight Riders served them with a reality check in Dubai. In pursuit of 175, the Royals’ batsmen failed to keep their head cool, read the conditions, and play the shots accordingly. Rajasthan Royals’ fielding was also below par in Dubai, which they need to get it right against RCB to prevail over them.
