Rajasthan Royals will host Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium, Jaipur in the 19th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 on Saturday. While RR have won all of their three matches, RCB have got off to a poor start, managing a single win out of their four games.
We take a look at the head-to-head battle, Players to watch out for, and Squads of both teams in our match preview.
Rajasthan Royals: W W W
Rajasthan Royals have ticked the right boxes as they have come up with a collective effort. Trent Boult was brilliant in the previous match against MI, picking three wickets whereas Riyan Parag continued to impress with the bat as he scored an unbeaten 54. Furthermore, Yuzvendra Chahal had done a fine job as he bagged three wickets.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: L W L L
RCB have not got the momentum on their side as they have failed to come up with a collective show. Their batters need to take more responsibility to get the job done whereas their bowling has once again lacked teeth. Moreover, they are missing a quality spinner in the middle overs.

Players to watch out for: Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Sandeep Sharma, Trent Boult, and Yuzvendra Chahal will hold the key for RR.
