RCB vs RR Match Preview

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 42nd match of IPL 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 24th at 7:30 PM IST. RCB has shown mixed form with 3 wins and 2 losses in their last five matches (WLWLW), while RR has struggled with 1 win and 4 losses. The head-to-head record slightly favors RR, who have won 2 of the last 3 encounters between these sides.

RCB will look to capitalize on their home advantage at Chinnaswamy, where the pitch typically favors batsmen and rewards aggressive strokeplay. RR, meanwhile, will rely on their balanced lineup to counter RCB's strong batting attack. The toss could prove crucial because the teams batting second have won 60% of matches.

Key players to watch include Virat Kohli (RCB) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR), both capable of anchoring their team's innings. The match might be decided in the middle overs where Wanindu Hasaranga's bowling could challenge RCB's power hitters.
