Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore: Rajasthan to win three games on a trot

A team on a hot streak and another that has significantly improved from the first match loss, it will be an interesting battle between two Royal clubs in the Indian Premier League. This will be a battle to dethrone Rajasthan from the top of the table and get some good ground on them by the Bangaloreans.

A team that is yet to lose a match and the team that has won both the matches batting first, Rajasthan is looking like a complete side in this year's IPL. In the first game, they won by 61 runs and in the second match by 23 runs. In both the departments i.e bowling and batting they are doing well. They might have a problem in the pace department with Counter Nile getting injured in the first game and Saini in the second, however, Saini bowled the last over of the match and looked good while doing so we have to wait and watch for now.

Royal Challengers after losing their first match due to some average bowling came back stronger in the second one when they restricted Kolkata to only 131 runs. They chased down the target with only 3 wickets left which would have been too close to their liking. The top order was shattered by the Kolkata in the last game but some coolly composed hitting at the end saw them home. There will be no room for error against this strong Rajasthan side.

The Wankhede pitch will have something for the bowlers to work upon. It won't be a batsman-friendly pitch as we have seen in the early stages of the tournament. We are expecting a low to the middle average score in the game with the conditions. The key battle will be how the batsman tackle spinners as they both have some quality in that department. We are expecting RR to win the game according to their recent performances.

• RR to win for 2.3;
• W1 After First 6 Overs (2Way) for 1.91;
• Total under 330.5 for 1.832
