Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Prediction: We could witness a twist of fate

Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru will play in the quarterfinal IPL game at Narendra Modi Stadium. Which side makes it to the next round?

Rajasthan Royals are off a poor run of games, and in this one, they will look to do better. In their games in this playoff, Rajasthan Royals played Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings, and Punjab Kings. However, this team pulled off nine wins in ten games in the first ten games of the season, good enough to see them book their spot in this quarterfinal. In 14 matches, Rajasthan Royals finished the season in the third spot with 17 points, leaving them in 3rd spot in the standings. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been consistent to this playoff stage and will rely on hopes in this game. In their last matches, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru failed to lose a single game in a run that extended to six. Royal Challengers Bengaluru played Sunrisers Hyderabad, Gujarat Titans twice, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Chennai Super Kings in those matches. In the regular season, they finished 4th in the IPL standings with 14 points.

Both teams have a very good chance of winning here, and I can not write either team off. While the road team is on a run of wins, thanks to their peak form, I still do not trust them here. However, with this game expected to be very close, the home team does have a chance, and I can expect them to pull off a surprising win to the semis.
