As far as the previous matches of these two teams are concerned, while Rajasthan registered a win against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their last match , RCB lost to Mumbai Indians (MI). Yashasvi Jaiswal was the standout performer for Rajasthan in their victory as he slammed a brilliant 98 off 47 deliveries. RR skipper Sanju Samson also contributed with a quickfire 48 off 29 balls in the run chase. Among bowlers, Trent Boult picked two wickets for the Rajasthan-based team. On the other hand, despite Glenn Maxwell’s and Faf du Plessis’s storming knocks of 68 runs and 65 runs, RCB ended up losing against MI.
RR currently are placed at the fifth spot in the IPL 2023 points table and will look to break into the top three by defeating Bangalore on Sunday. Meanwhile, RCB are on the sixth position and will aim not to lose any game further.
Pitch report:
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium generally favours the batters. However, it also provides a little bit of assistance to the bowlers. A high-scoring match is expected to take place at the venue on May 14.
