Royal Challengers Bangalore will be up against Rajasthan Royals in the 32nd match of the ongoing IPL 2023 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Sunday. Runs have poured in almost all the matches which have been played at the Chinnaswamy and one can expect the same when these two batting-heavy teams face each other.
However, last weekend RCB posted 174 runs in a day game against Delhi Capitals and it proved it to be enough at the venue, which has been tortuous for the bowlers. Virat Kohli had led RCB in their last game against Punjab Kings as Faf du Plessis was unfit for fielding.
RCB had won against PBKS by 24 runs after good knocks from Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli. Furthermore, Mohammed Siraj was hot with the ball as he scalped four wickets in his superb spell. However, bowling has been an issue for RCB while playing at home and they will look to hit the right areas.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals would be disappointed after they could not chase down 155 runs against Lucknow Super Giants. RR has a potent batting unit and their batters will be licking their lips to bat on a batting paradise dec at Chinnaswamy.
Match Prediction: Rajasthan Royals will enter the contest as favorites against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
