Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RRvRCB): The 13th match of IPL 2022 will be played between RR vs RCB, the match will start at 07:30 PM IST on 05 April 2022 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, India
Team winner Prediction:
Key Points:
- Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, and Shimron Hetmyer have been in terrific touch with the bat and will not be easy to contain for the relatively inexperienced RCB bowlers
- Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal could be a huge threat for the Challengers’ batting unit that isn’t known for their exploits against the spinners
- With two wins in two matches already, Rajasthan Royals have the momentum, which can be a huge factor in this shortest format of the game
RR vs RCB Analysis:
We are just a week into the Indian Premier League and have seen some cracking contests already. Much to the surprise of many, two of the most successful sides in the history of the competition – Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, currently occupy the bottom spots on the ladder. It could all change pretty quickly but those two sides would have to pull up their socks and get back in what is going to be an ultra-competitive tournament, at least that is what the early cues suggest.
On the other side of the ladder are Rajasthan Royals, who have been one of the better-performing sides in the competition. They will be up against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in a rivalry that may be in its infancy but promises to be a big one beginning this year. Both sides are coming off wins in their respective last matches and will be brimming with confidence. We expect a feast of an outing for the fans in this Royal contest.

Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The conditions at the Wankhade Stadium are going to be great for batting. The pitch has a nice amount of pace and the ball comes onto the bat very nicely. There is also a lot of dew making conditions very difficult to bowl in during the second inning. Players refer to it as a ‘swimming pool’ and so chasing is clearly the way to go.

Rajasthan Royals (RR):
Two wins in two matches and the men in Pink would already be brimming with confidence. With a massive win over Mumbai Indians, they became the only side to twice defend a total in this edition of the tournament and that is something that has been very difficult to achieve even once.
The Royals’ secret to success in the two matches thus far has undoubtedly been their power-hitting at the top coupled with some exemplary bowling in the middle. The likes of Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, and Shimron Hetmyer in the two matches gone have ensured that the Royals score an above-par total and the bowlers have done remarkably well to not even allow the opponents to get near their total, despite defending in tough conditions.
As it currently stands on the ladder, Rajasthan Royals are placed at the top with a superb net run rate of 2.1. Both of their wins have come with considerably big margins and that speaks volumes about how dominant they have been.
Likely XI: Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (wk, captain), Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, Navdeep Saini, Praneek Krishna.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB):
Royal Challengers Bangalore started off on a disappointing note and just when they were staring at their old problems of bowlers not doing enough, we saw a sensational bowling performance from them against the Knight Riders. While they experienced some hiccups with the bat in the very same match, the Royal Challengers just manage to do enough to get amid of the favorable results.
With that win, they found their path to winning ways and will be looking to continue on their journey. On the points table at the moment, they are placed at the fourth spot from the bottom with a win to their name from a couple of matches. They have a net run rate of -0.048, which they would want to improve going forward in the competition as it could prove to be the difference if things get tight.
Likely XI: Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Sherfan Rutherford, Shahbaz Ahmed, Vanindu Hasaranga, David Willey, Harshal Patel, Akash Deep, Mohammad Siraj
