IPL 2021: RCB vs RR – Match 16, Match Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s Match?
IPL 2021 - Match 16, RCB vs RR: The 16th match of the Indian Premier League will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
RCB vs RR Dream11 Prediction: The 16th match of the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Thursday, April 22, 2021.
RCB vs RR Match Preview
The Royal Challengers Bangalore will play their first IPL 2021 match at the Wankhede Stadium when they will take on Rajasthan Royals on Thursday. Virat Kohli and Co. have made a dream start to their IPL 2021 season with victories in the first three games.
They will be high on confidence after beating the Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders in their first three fixtures. They will be keen to continue their unbeaten streak in the tournament as they take on the Rajasthan Royals in their next match. However, the tournament is still in its initial phase, and they can’t afford to be complacent.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, haven’t been as ecstatic a camp, as they have lost 2 of their first 3 matches. They haven’t quite managed to get hold of themselves as Sanju Samson will be worried and needs to do more after failing in his last two innings post a century in the first match.
After Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, now they suffered another setback as Liam Livingstone have also opted to return home early from the IPL, citing “bubble fatigue” after spending much of the last ten months moving in and out of biosecure environments.
With little support, the pressure is on the likes of Samson and Jos Buttler. Rajasthan has looked better with the ball but it’s the batting that needs a spark. Counting on just one or two players aren’t going to help them. Coming up against an in-form RCB side will be tall ask for RR. They need to bring their A-game forward and look to make things work.
