Current form for RCB: W L W W L
RCB had a poor day with the bat in their previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad as they were blown away for only 68 runs. Thus, RCB needs to come up with a collective batting effort in the upcoming matches. The middle order hasn’t delivered and Virat Kohli’s poor form is concerning for the team. Moreover, Siraj hasn’t been at his best as he has conceded his runs at an economy rate of 9.73.
Current form for RR: L W L W W
RR has also managed three wins out of their last five games like RCB. Jos Buttler has been amazing for the inaugural champions as he is head and shoulders above the rest of the batters and would want to continue his dream form. Furthermore, their bowling is also doing a fine job in keeping the opposition at bay.
