Next up in rivalry week is match no 42. The second leg of the ‘Royal’ battle is set to take place on Thursday, 24th April, at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The hosts, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, are all set to go on a collision course against the Rajasthan Royals in what is expected to be a humdinger of a contest.
With 5 wins from 8 games so far, RCB is currently placed third on the points table. A win here will propel them to 12 points, and they could get closer to the top two spots. Generally, the hosts always have an added advantage playing at home, but this isn’t the case with RCB so far, as all 3 games that they have lost this season were played in their own backyard. The team will look to get better at home as they still have 3 more games to play here and can’t afford to lose each and every home game.
On the other hand, the Rajasthan Royals have been digging holes for themselves and are slowly diminishing from the playoff race. With only 2 wins from 8 games, the Royals have reached the pinnacle of their drowning. From here on, RR can’t afford to lose a game. If they do so, they will be eliminated from the playoff race. With nothing to lose now, expect RR to come all guns blazing in this contest.
