IPL 2025: Match 42 – RCB vs RR Predictions – Who will win Today? Match Preview, Expert Tips, Toss & Win Probability

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 42 of the IPL 2025 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on April 24. With RCB unbeaten on the road and still winless at home, and RR desperate to end a four-match losing streak, this clash holds massive stakes for both sides.

RCB’s away form has been near-perfect, but their struggles in Bengaluru continue. The home pitches have not suited their stroke-heavy top order, forcing Virat Kohli to revert to an anchoring role to add stability. Rajat Patidar, who’s yet to win a toss at home, has highlighted how important the matchups and game flow are at this venue. Despite challenges, their bowling has held up decently, and they remain dangerous, especially if the top order clicks.

Rajasthan Royals have stumbled after a promising start, suffering four consecutive defeats. Their narrow losses and lack of clarity in combination have hurt them. The emergence of 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi offered a bright spark, but the team needs a collective lift to get back into the playoff race. Batting misfires and toothless PowerPlay bowling have been major concerns.
