IPL 2025 RR vs RCB Match Prediction: Who Will Win Today's Match?

The two Royals will clash in the IPL on the home ground to the Rajasthan Royals, as both teams look to be back to winning ways. Both come from losses against the Delhi Capitals and the Gujarat Titans. 

Royals have slowly started to reshape their bowling jigsaw with Jofra Archer being consistent, especially with the new ball. While Indian IPL veteran, Sandeep Sharma also has been more than brilliant in the powerplay as well as the death overs. 

The RCB batters struggled in the last game and no batter other than Tim David and opener Phil Salt seemed confident enough in due course of the game. However, with a set batting and bowling unit, they remain to be the favourites in the game. 

IPL 2025: RR vs RCB Dream11 Prediction: Pitch report and Weather report

The match between the two Royals is going to be played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. This track is known to be one of the driest pitches in India, hence spin can be favoured here with the ball turning after falling on the cracks. The cracks can often be widened by the pacers hitting the deck hard. The average 1st innings score on this ground is very low.  

While the weather in Jaipur seems hotter than in many parts of India, the temperature can go as high as 38 degrees Celcius or more. Rain might not play a role but the afternoon matches might take a huge toll on the players. 

IPL 2025: RR vs RCB: Top Picks

Virat Kohli - Legendary Indian batter Kohli has been in decent touch in the IPL this season as well. Pairing alongside Phil Salt at the top, he has often been relieved of scoring quick runs in the powerplay due to the overaggressiveness of the English opener. 

Kohli will be vital for the Challengers when playing in the spin-favouring tracks. While Rajat Patidar will also come in handy, as these two are the finest batters in the RCB batting lineup. 

Sandeep Sharma - Rajasthan Royals pacer has been their best bowler in the season, his toe-breaking yorkers and slower ball variations have been menace to the opposition batters. Sandeep will be crucial in the death overs against big-hitters Jitesh Sharma and Tim David. 

Wanindu Hasaranga - Former RCB man Hasaranga is the front-line spinner for the Royal Challengers Bangalore for now. Samson has reported he has rejoined the side and is up for selections. His spin will be vital on the slow track of Mansingh Stadium. 

Krunal Pandya - Another spinner in the list, Krunal Pandya has been RCB’s wonderment under tough conditions this season. Pandya for the first time will be playing in the north Indian spinning tracks. 

Sanju Samson - Samson is probably the best batter for the Royals and also a fine player of spin. The opening batter will find it easy to play against the RCB variations, in case if he can avoid being dismissed to Yash Dayal.
