Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in match number 19 of the IPL 2024 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday, April 6. Royal Challengers Bengaluru is in eighth place on the 10-team table, which is a fair indication of their troubles. Still, Rajasthan’s all-win record so far and the resultant second place do not necessarily mirror their turmoil.
The Royals, who uprooted the top order of Mumbai Indians (MI) in their previous match at the Wankhede Stadium, will aim to repeat the result against the already average-performing RCB batters. Rajasthan fans will also expect some quality hitting from Riyan Parag, as the young all-rounder is in red-hot form. On the other hand, RCB fans will be eager to watch their brilliant batters make a comeback.
RR vs RCB: Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch Report:
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur has a reputation for being a batter’s paradise, which is evidenced by the high-scoring matches that have taken place there during recent IPL seasons. The pitch starts out favoring the batters, and as the game goes on, it becomes even more batter-friendly. This trend has led captains who win the toss to strategically elect to field first, allowing them to chase down a total later in the match.
RR vs RCB: Jaipur Weather Forecast:
Jaipur is set for a day of ideal cricket weather with clear skies promising uninterrupted play. The forecast predicts no rain and a comfortable temperature of 29 degrees Celsius that is expected to hold steady throughout the match. Gentle breezes are anticipated, with wind speeds reaching around 6 kilometers per hour. Humidity levels should remain moderate at 26%, ensuring good visibility and grip on the ball for both bowlers and batters.
RR vs RCB Probable Best Players of the Match:
Probable Best Batter: Virat Kohli
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Virat Kohli could be the best batter in game 19 of the IPL 2024. With 203 runs in four games, Kohli is the tournament’s highest run-getter and the current holder of the Orange Cap. Kohli will be keen on putting in another good showing against Royals and potentially propelling his side to their second win of the season.
Probable Best Bowler: Trent Boult
Ace RR pacer Trent Boult could be the best bowler in game 19 of the IPL 2024. With five wickets in three matches, Boult has been brilliant for the Royals, and RCB will be wary of the Kiwi pacer’s opening spell in the game.
