RR vs RCB Match Preview – IPL 2024, Match 19
Rajasthan Royals
The Royals have clinched victory in their first three matches against LSG, Delhi Capitals, and Mumbai Indians, respectively. They have a preference for batting first and exhibit confidence in their bowlers to defend targets successfully. Apart from KKR, they stand as the only team yet to suffer a defeat in the tournament. In the initial two games, they secured wins by defending their total, while in the third match against Mumbai Indians, they successfully chased down the target.
Heading into the upcoming game, they will be keen on better performances from their openers, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who have struggled in the initial matches. Their bowling has been phenomenal and they would love to continue their winning streak.
RR Probable Playing-11
Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, Sanju Samson(w/c), Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Nandre Burger, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Bangalore’s vulnerabilities have become apparent in the early stages of the tournament, with the team’s performance being notably poor. They have shown a heavy reliance on their top order, and their bowlers have struggled considerably. Not only have they been expensive in all their matches thus far, but in the game against KKR, they faltered in defending a total of 182, conceding a significant number of runs.
Despite holding a favorable head-to-head record, RCB could be in danger of losing the match against RR, particularly due to RR’s home advantage.
RCB Probable Playing-11
Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Anuj Rawat(wk), Rajat Patidar, Alzarri Joseph, Dinesh Karthik, Mohammed Siraj, Mayank Dagar, Yash Dayal.
