Sunday afternoon is all set to witness a clash between the Royals. The Rajasthan Royals will play their first home game at the beautiful Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur against another Royal, i.e., the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, in match no. 28 of Tata IPL 2025.
The soaring heat of Jaipur will come into play in this crucial game as both teams are looking for a win after getting down and out in their respective previous fixtures. The Royals lost to current table-toppers Gujarat Titans by a heavy margin of 58 runs. The Royal Challengers, on the other hand, lost their second game of the season at home, this time against Delhi Capitals by 6 wickets.
Both teams have played 5 matches so far. The Royals have won 2 and lost 3, whereas the Royal Challengers have won 3 and lost 2. It’s a thin line of difference in the form of the two sides, and it would be interesting to see if RR gains momentum at home or will RCB spoil RR’s homecoming? Let’s discuss ahead.
Let’s delve deeper into this post for RR vs RCB Dream11 Prediction.
Date: Sunday, 13th April 2025 Time: 3:30 PM IST Venue: Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur
Matches Played: 32 RR won: 14 RCB won: 15 No Result: 3 Tied: 0
It has been a pretty close match-up between these two sides. RCB has 15 wins to their name out of 32 played, whereas RR has won 14. Three games between these two sides ended in a no-result. In the last edition, RR won both the games against RCB.
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is widely regarded as a haven for batsmen, offering ideal conditions for aggressive stroke play. The pitch has consistent bounce and decent pace, making it easier for batters to play through the line and execute their shots effectively. Additionally, spinners find some joy here as the ball tends to bounce and turn sharply, adding a twist to their deliveries. However, for most bowlers, this wicket can be quite challenging, as its dryness provides little assistance, demanding extra effort and precision to make an impact. Batters are likely to dominate here!
