RR vs RCB Head to Head Records: Rajasthan Royals’ H2H Record Against Royal Challengers Bangalore- IPL 2021 Match 43. Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on each other in the 43rd match of IPL 2021 on Sunday. Rajasthan Royal are at sixth on the points table. They have secured four wins out of 10 matches this season.

Sanju Samson would be gutted with the way his team has performed in the last two games. After securing a 2-run win against Punjab, Rajasthan had the chance to make rapid strides on the points table. But they went on to lose the next two matches. Sanju Samson was the only bright spot in the last two matches.

In the last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Samson played a sensational knock of 82 runs off just 57 balls, however, he found little support at the other end. Yashasvi Jaiswal (36 off 23) once again got out after getting a great start, while the likes of Evin Lewis and Liam Livingstone failed to make an impression. Rajasthan Royals made 164 runs in the first innings.

RR bowlers looked ineffective against the likes of Jason Roy, Saha and Williamson in the second innings. Their inability to pick wickets helped SRH develop big partnerships in the chase. Sakariya and Mustafizur got one wicket each but that’s about it. Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down the score in just 18.3 overs.

Chris Morris’s poor form in the last few games has made things difficult for Rajasthan. They need to really introspect on how to go about their plans for the rest of the tournament.

Facing them are Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are coming on the back of a 54-run win against Mumbai Indians. Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell both scored half-centuries and this would give the team a lot of confidence.

Thanks to those two knocks, RCB managed to score 165 runs in the second innings. Their two biggest bets in the bowling department, Yuzvendra Chahal and Harshal Patel were sensational with their line and lengths. Harshal Patel’s slower balls made life difficult for MI batsmen, while Chahal too was brilliant with his googlies. Both combined to pick seven wickets between them as MI were bundled out for just 111 runs in the second innings.

RCB have now secured 6 wins in 10 matches and just two wins away from confirming their top-four berth. RCB should come into the game as favourites on Wednesday.
