Rajasthan Royals clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore in a tight game with almost no margin for error. Both RR and RCB have won twice and lost once and would be looking to notch up their third win of the league phase. Rajasthan Royals are eager to get back winning ways in Abu Dhabi after their defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders earlier in the week. RCB came away with a brilliant Super Over win in their last game against Mumbai Indians in Dubai. A high scoring affair, RCB managed to clinch the humdinger after some superb bowling display from Navdeep Saini. RCB in the last game added leg spinner Adam Zampa to their playing XI and could continue with the same strategy. Their opening batsmen Aaron Finch and Devdutt Padikkal have looked in fine touch and Yuzvendra Chahal and Saini have been in tremendous form with the ball. Virat Kohli has not been scoring and it will be interesting to see the Bangalore captain handles Jofra Archer. Get all the live cricket scores and live ball by ball commentary of RCB vs RR here.
