They are looking like a very balanced team with the tournament still in its early days. Sanju Samson and Riyan Parah have contributed with the bat as has Ravichandran Ashwin in a couple of games.

Their opening combination of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler are yet to fire in unison. Heading into this game, they would hope for them to get some runs.

RCB are heading into this match on the back of consecutive losses. They lost against KKR and LSG after winning against Punjab Kings at home. In the previous match against LSG, they failed to chase 182 with their lower-order batters not standing up. RCB's over-dependence on their top three was felt in that game.

With the ball, their pacers as always were very expensive. Yash Daya and Mohammed Siraj leaked runs in plenty in the end overs. Playing at home, they should have backed their batters to win the match but they could not.

RCB have a favourable record against RR winning 15 out of the 30 games. RR on the other end, have won 12. Royal Challengers Bangalore won three out of the last five games including the last two. RCB also won five games on the trot against RR between 2020-2022.

They will be playing at a venue where they have won four out of the games against RR. The Sawai Mansingh stadium is a high-scoring venue with the RCB bowlers expected to be tested once again.
