RR vs RCB, IPL 2023: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details
The Rajasthan Royals (RR) will lock horns against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 60th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. This high-octane clash will be held at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday, May 14.
The Royals have had a roller-coaster ride so far. They have won six games so far and lost as many. They defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) comprehensively in their last game to get back on track. It was a solid all-round effort from them away from home.
Yuzvendra Chahal spun a web around the KKR batters as he picked up four wickets to help his side restrict the opposition to 149/8. What followed was a blistering knock from Yashasvi Jaiswal, who smashed 98* off just 47 balls to help the Royals chase down the total in just 13.1 overs.
In the process, Jaiswal hit the fastest fifty in IPL’s history. The Royals will be high in confidence and will look to repeat their performance against the depleted Royal Challengers.
Bangalore are coming off a loss in their last game. They suffered a heavy loss against the Mumbai Indians (MI) to stay at five wins in 11 games. They have 10 points to their name and are eager to gain some momentum.
On the back of fifties from Faf du Plessis (65) and Glenn Maxwell (68), the Royal Challengers posted 199 on the board. The bowlers then failed to step up as they were unsuccessful in keeping a check on the run flow, resulting in MI chasing down the total in just 16.3 overs.
The Royal Challengers will have to be at their absolute best while facing the Royals in their upcoming fixture.
