RR vs RCB Team Previews

Rajasthan Royals

The Royals won eight of their first nine matches in this year's IPL and were looking good for a top-two finish and a berth in the Qualifier 1. But they have since slipped to four consecutive defeats - and weathered a washout - to end in third position on the 10-team points table.

Rajasthan will again be without Jos Buttler for this match. He has left the IPL to be with England ahead of next month's T20 World Cup. Tom Kohler-Cadmore has effectively replaced Buttler at the top of the order, but has been nowhere near as formidable. Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson are the Royals' leading run-scorers this season with 531 and 504, respectively. Both should be key in this fixture.

Yuzvendra Chahal and Avesh Khan have shared 30 wickets this IPL campaign. They have been arguably the best leg-spin and right-arm fast bowler combination in the tournament. But it is going to take more than two bowlers to outlast a powerful opposition batting order, leaving plenty of onus on Ravichandran Ashwin, Sandeep Sharma, Trent Boult and others.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Bengaluru had nothing to lose in mid-April, but now have it all to play for. They lifted themselves from the very bottom of the standings by winning six matches in a row - and very much remain in contention for a maiden Indian Premier League title. Let's see if they can continue winning.

Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis have been immense for RCB lately. It's not just the significant weight of runs they have put in, but the Indian and South African stars have used all their individual and collective experience to the Royal Challengers this far in the tournament. That said, their runs have counted for a lot. Kohli has 708 in 14 innings this IPL - and du Plessis 421 in 14.

RCB, like Rajasthan have lost an England star, as well. Will Jacks has exited the tournament alongside Buttler. Glenn Maxwell has since return to the Bengaluru XI and continues to show why he is one of the best all-rounders in the IPL. Maxwell is a genuine wicket-taker - and an outstanding complement to fast bowlers Yash Dayal and Mohammed Siraj. Dayal and Siraj have shared 28 wickets this IPL.

RR vs RCB Toss Prediction

This will be the eighth match of the 2024 IPL at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This season, five of the tosses at this venue have yielded decisions to bowl first.

It's likely the team to win the toss this time will follow suit and elect to field first as well.

Pitch and Conditions

This ground has produced first-innings scores of 89, 162, 168, 199, 200 and 231 during the 2024 Indian Premier League. A first-innings total of 180-plus can be considered competitive here.

Both teams will likely play two specialist spinners in conditions that could take turn. No rain is forecast in Ahmedabad on matchday. Hot and humid weather, characteristic of the region this time of year, is anticipated on Wednesday.

RR vs RCB Betting Tips

Bengaluru have a lot of momentum on the back of six successive wins. Rajasthan have lost a lot of momentum in the wake of four consecutive defeats and a no-result. RCB have found great collective form at a crucial juncture in the tournament. Their batting and bowling depth is stronger than Rajasthan's.

Bet on 1.70 favourites Royal Challengers Bengaluru to beat 2.15 underdogs Rajasthan Royals.
