Preview of RCB vs RR - Match No 15

 


                                            In the first double header of IPL 2020 season, first match will be played between RCB and RR at 3.30 PM IST. Right now, both teams have 4 point each and this year their teams look more settled and stable as compared to previous years.

                                           After winning nail biting match against strong MI team, RCB team will be more confident. As Morris is still not fit, they will stick with Udana and Zampa. I don't see any changes in team combination for this clash. With openers are firing at top and with de Villiers form, they don’t have any problem in batting line up as such. As they have lacked 80 runs in last 4 overs against MI, they may think about new bowling strategy.

                                         RR has lost previous match against KKR because of their batting line up failure. They need strong opening partnership and good finisher batsman. They will add Jaiswal as opening batsman as RCB has two leg spinners. Sanju Samson has been in phenomenal touch in this IPL. RR want their skipper Smith and Buttler to come in form for this match.
