12BET Predictions: Rajasthan Royals Vs RCB, IPL 2022
It’s the battle of the Royals in the IPL today as the Challengers face the Royals in a cracking contest that sees the return of a few former RCB players in opponent colours. This should be an intense cricket match to say the least, with the fans wanting their teams to win.
Both teams are coming to this game on the back of impressive victories over their opponents. They have been doing great with the cricket bat. But only one of them can continue their winning run after this game. How the former Challengers fare against their former employers will be the massive talking point in a game that promises to hold many more interesting sub-plots.
Rajasthan Royals
The Rajasthan Royals of this year mean business. After schooling the Sunrisers in their opening fixture, they went about crushing the 5-time champions Mumbai Indians in their second encounter. They batted brilliantly, spearheaded by the effervescent Jos Buttler, and then tightened the screws on Mumbai just when it was looking like the game was slipping away from them courtesy of some excellent bowling by the likes of Chahal and Boult. This site is fast turning pout to be the frontrunners in this competition and based on the early performances displayed by them, they look the part and can only get better from here.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
The Royal Challengers bounced back from their demoralizing loss to the Punjab Kings by bouncing back against the Kolkata Knight Riders. The bowlers did a fantastic job in restricting the free-scoring KKR batsmen and bowled on the right lengths to stifle them to a below-par score. The batting, while suffering a few hiccups along the way, got the job done courtesy of the brilliance of Dinesh Karthik, who has slotted in effortlessly as the finisher of the team. With Faf at the helm and Virat Kohli finding form, RCB could very well go ahead and be a tough proposition to all the teams out there. With Glenn Maxwell and Josh Hazlewood set to join the squad, the team has the potential to be even more formidable in the games to come.
Head-to-Head
The Royals Challengers hold a marginal advantage in encounters between these two sides, with them winning 12 out of the 25 played, with Rajasthan winning the other 10, and 3 ending in no results. But in the last 5 fixtures, the Royal Challengers have been unstoppable against the Royals, winning 4 out of the 5 and one no result.
Prediction
While the Royal Challengers do have the quality and the wherewithal to go ahead and put in a statement performance, the Royals emerge as the favorites in this game with their current scintillating form and the quality of the all-around squad. Add to that a few former Bangalore players in their ranks, which skews the balance in favor of the Royals.
