The upcoming clash in IPL 2024 between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is scheduled for April 6 at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium. The RR vs RCB match is set to commence at 7:30 PM IST.
Currently, Rajasthan Royals hold the second position on the IPL 2024 points table, boasting a perfect record of three wins in as many games to start the season. In their recent outing against Mumbai Indians, they secured a notable victory, triumphing by six wickets on the road.
Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal starred with the ball, each claiming three wickets as RR restricted Mumbai to a modest total of 125. Despite facing some challenges during the chase, Riyan Parag’s composed unbeaten fifty guided them to victory.
Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bengaluru finds themselves in the eighth position on the table, having suffered three defeats in four matches. In their previous encounter against Lucknow Super Giants, RCB endured a 28-run loss at home.
Although Glenn Maxwell impressed with figures of 2 for 23, the rest of the bowling attack proved expensive. Additionally, their batting lineup struggled to make a significant impact, with no player managing to play a substantial innings.

RR vs RCB Predictions
According to Parimatch, Rajasthan Royals emerge as the favourites to clinch victory in this encounter, given their impeccable form, having won all their matches so far. The odds for Sanju Samson’s team stand at 1.75. While RCB may have a favourable recent head-to-head record, RR’s current form and stronger squad make them the team to beat.
In terms of bowling, Boult and Chahal pose significant threats to the opposition. If RR opts to bowl first, they may consider including a sixth bowler, Nandre Burger, to further bolster their attack alongside Ashwin and Avesh Khan.
For RCB to stand a chance, winning the toss and posting a substantial total will be crucial. The top-order trio of Virat Kohli, Du Plessis, and Maxwell must deliver collectively. However, their lack of a standout match-winning bowler remains a glaring concern. Overcoming RR in their Jaipur stronghold will undoubtedly require RCB to rely heavily on both skill and luck.
