IPL 2022: Picks for the second Qualifier between Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

 

Rajasthan Royals will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the second Qualifier of the ongoing Tata Indian Premier League at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Friday. Both of these teams will look to bring their best to qualify for the final of the tournament.

We take a look at Picks for the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals. We will look at head-to-head records, stats, and players to look out for in the upcoming match.

Current form for RCB: W W L W W

Royal Challengers Bangalore have been consistent in the last five matches and they will look to continue the good show. RCB were at their best against LSG after Rajat Patidar played one of the best knocks in the tournament in a high-pressure game. Harshal Patel was also magnificent in the death overs.

Current form for RR: L W W L W

RR had come up with a good batting performance in their previous match against Gujarat Titans but they weren’t at their best with the ball. Their bowlers need to execute their plans in the death overs as they are not blocking the flow of runs, which is a major concern for them.

Head to Head: Matches: 27, Won by RCB: 13, Won by RR: 11, NR: 2, A: 1.

RCB holds a slight advantage in the head-to-head battle.

Players to look out for: Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, and Yuzvendra Chahal will be the crucial players for RR.

Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Dinesh Karthik, Glenn Maxwell, Rajat Patidar, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Harshal Patel are going to hold the key for RCB.
