RR vs RCB Preview
RR will be on the hunt for their fourth win of IPL 2024 when they take on a struggling RCB tonight. The contest will be held at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on April 6, Saturday. RR have always been a supreme force at their home. They have played two matches in Jaipur this season and emerged victorious in both of them. RR were up against Mumbai Indians in the last appearance at Wankhede. It was a low-scoring affair where the visitors secured a six-wicket victory.
RCB are struggling with their batting. After losing the season opener to Chennai Super Kings, RCB bounced back well to beat Punjab Kings by four wickets. The Faf du Plessis-led side, however, failed to continue the momentum in the following two matches, losing to Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants respectively. The RCB batting unit looked pale on both the occasions.
