RCB vs RR Match Prediction - Oct 03, 2020

IPL 2020 has been incredible so far. Every team has won at least one match and lost at least one as well. There are just two points separating the first and the last team on the table. In addition, we have seen two Super Overs and three instances of 30 runs being hit in one over!

Two teams that have been right in the thick of things are going to play against each other in this next IPL match. The Royal Challengers Bangalore team is coming into this match after winning their previous match against the Mumbai Indians in a Super Over. On the other hand, The Rajasthan Royals pulled off the highest-ever IPL chase just a few matches ago.

This is also the first time that both teams are going to be playing in Abu Dhabi.

RCB vs RR IPL 2020 is going to be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on the 3rd of October 2020.

RCB vs RR Team Previews

Royal Challengers Bangalore

RCB did a lot of things right in its match against the Mumbai Indians. For starters, it made three changes to its playing eleven that helped make it a much more balanced side. Isuru Udana bowled well and will only get more effective as the pitches start slowing up and even though Adam Zampa did not have a good match, he is a world-class bowler and should be persisted with.

Gurkeerat Singh adds a bit of depth to the batting lineup as well.

We don’t think there will be any changes to this team for the next match.

Runs for Devdutt Padikkal, Aaron Finch, AB de Villiers, and Shivam Dube will make RCB very confident about their batting. Surprisingly, the only player to really struggle is Virat Kohli. He is struggling and needs a good knock to get him in the groove of things. Don’t count him out, though.

Shivam Dube coming in late and smashing sixes was something we were very happy to see. In the past, Dube has struggled to make the step up from domestic to the international and IPL level. Whether he can cope against real fast bowling remains to be seen.

Washington Sundar was successful in the powerplay but whether Kohli uses him against Buttler, Smith, and Samson is debatable. With Yuzvendra Chahal, Isuru Udana, Navdeep Saini, and Adam Zampa, RCB has a very decent bowling lineup.

Rajasthan Royals

After two brilliant wins, RR lost its most recent match against KKR very convincingly. Early wickets showed just how top-heavy this lineup is and that a collapse always seems around the corner. We think RR has to make a few changes otherwise it will keep depending on some brilliance from its top-3.

To that extent, Steve Smith and Sanju Samson are in terrific form while Jos Buttler looked in impressive touch too before getting out.

We think these three are going to score a lot of runs in this edition of the IPL yet.

Robin Uthappa and Rian Parag in the middle-order are proving to be weak links in this lineup. How long before RR swaps them out and brings some reinforcements?

Tom Curran has not been too effective with the ball and although he scored 54 in the previous match, his batting is not the reason why he is in the team. RR could bring in David Miller and replace one of Uthappa or Parag for Varun Aaron.

In their current state, RR will always remain vulnerable to a few early wickets.

Jofra Archer was just brilliant in the previous match. His match-up with the strong RCB lineup is going to be mouth-watering. Shreyas Gopal is another bowler having a really poor IPL 2020 and could be replaced by Mayank Markande, another leg-spinner.

RR has two wins from three matches but it is the brilliance of Sanju Samson that is keeping them competitive. Can he continue to perform at such a brilliant level? We think he could!

RCB vs RR Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss may prefer batting first. DC struggled in its chase as the pitch slowed down and so that may play on the minds of the captains. So far, both the teams batting first and the chasing teams have won two matches at this venue each.

Pitch and Conditions

This match is going to be played at Abu Dhabi. We saw the pitch slow up in the previous match here (DC vs SRH) in the second inning, even though the dew was a big factor. None of the matches here have been very high-scoring so far and in fact 162 was a winning total in the previous one. We think something around 170 could be very difficult to chase down here.

Expect the spinners to play a major role in this match and others at this venue.

RCB vs RR Betting Tips

We think RCB has a slightly better chance of winning in this match because of the quality of its spinners. Yuzvendra Chahal, Adam Zampa, and Washington Sundar form a very dangerous trio on a pitch that could provide them some help. The form of AB de Villiers, as well as greater depth in the batting lineup, gives them a bit of an edge as well.

RR has to hope for brilliance from Buttler or Samson to win them the match. It could happen but we are not going to bet on it!

Bet on the Royal Challengers Bangalore to win.

We know that RR is not playing Sharjah but it still has an incredible amount of six-hitting talent. Jos Buttler, Steve Smith, Jofra Archer, and Sanju Samson are all hitting sixes for fun. Don’t forget Rahul Tewatia as well! There are currently four RR players in the top-10 of the six-hitting list. This is a no-brainer in our opinion.

There is no denying that Kohli is in poor form but if you think you can count out a man like Virat Kohli then you are mistaken. He has gone without a big score for a long time and is due one now. Back him to come good. Three boundaries for a man of his quality is nothing once he gets going. Our favorite bet for this match!
