IPL 2020, RCB vs RR: Preview, Probable XI, Match Prediction, Live Streaming, Weather Forecast, and pitch report

Rajasthan Royals got off to a dream start in IPL 2020 as they managed to win their first two matches despite conceding 200 runs to the opposition team. However, the Royals suffered defeat in their last game against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Chasing a target of 175 runs, the Rajasthan Royals could only manage 137/9 thanks to Tom Curran's half-century. They will look to return to winning ways when they cross paths with the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The 3-time IPL runners-up have won two of their first three matches. They beat the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 10 runs in their first game, but the Kings XI Punjab thrashed them in their second fixture. Their match against Mumbai Indians ended in a tie, where RCB prevailed in the Super Over.

The last meeting between the Rajasthan Royals and the Royal Challengers Bangalore did not produce a winner.

Rajasthan Royals
