RR vs RCB, IPL 2023: Toss result and playing 11s for today's match, umpires list and pitch report

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in match number 60 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday, May 14. Both teams will be keen to register a win and stay alive in the race for playoffs.

Rajasthan ended their three-match losing streak with a thumping nine-wicket triumph over a hapless Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their previous fixture. Yuzvendra Chahal claimed another four-fer and also became the leading wicket-taker in the IPL. Yashasvi Jaiswal then smashed the fastest fifty (13 balls) in the T20 league as RR romped home to victory.

Bangalore, meanwhile, will head into Sunday’s clash on the back of a six-wicket defeat at the hands of Mumbai Indians (MI). Half-centuries from Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell saw them post 199/6, batting first. However, Suryakumar Yadav (83 off 35) was unstoppable as MI chased down the target with ease.

Today’s RR vs RCB pitch report

According to WV Raman and Simon Katich, this is the second time this pitch is being used after the RR vs CSK game. There were runs in that and it will be high scoring again. The pitch looks hard, with some cracks and grass in the middle. It is, however, a day game and the ball might slow up a bit due to the heat.
