Team News:

RCB

An explosive inning can be seen once again from Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers in Wankhede, Mumbai. Both the RCB batsmen are currently in the top form, due to which the team is second in the points table without any defeat. Australian all-rounder Daniel Symes has joined the team after being corona negative. In his last match against Kolkata Knight Riders, Virat's RCB played with only three overseas (foreign) players. In such a situation, Sams can be included in the playing eleven against Rajasthan.

RR

Opener Manan Vohra is constantly failing to perform well for Rajasthan Royals. At the same time, captain Sanju Samson could not do much even after scoring a century against Punjab Kings. Rajasthan is expected to make a few changes against RCB.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) PREDICTED XI:

Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli (captain), Shahbaz Ahmed, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers (wicketkeeper), Daniel Sams, Kyle Jameson, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal and Harshal Patel

Rajasthan Royals (RR) PREDICTED XI:

Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (captain and wicketkeeper), Shivam Dubey, David Miller, Ryan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Jaydev Unadkat, Chetan Sakariya and Mustafizur Rahman.

PITCH REPORT:

This pitch of Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium will be suitable for batsmen. In the last match played here between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders the score was more than 200 in both innings. This match is also expected to be high scoring. Given the weather, dew is going to play a big role here, so the team that wins the toss should decide to bowl first.

Match Prediction:

Our match prediction meter is telling that Royal Challengers Bangalore have an upper hand in this match. In such a situation, Rajasthan Royals may have to face another defeat. However, the match is expected to be exciting
