Bangalore have won three out of six games and are placed in the fifth position in the points table. They come into this game on the back of a 24-run win over Punjab Kings. Batting first, they scored 174 runs for the loss of four wickets in 20 overs as Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli both scored half-centuries. The Kings, in reply, were able to muster only 150 runs in 18.2 overs. Mohammed Siraj was brilliant with the ball and also took home the Player of the Match award.
The Royals, on the other hand, have won four out of six games this season and are right at the top of the points table. They lost the previous game against the Lucknow Super Giants by 10 runs after being unable to chase down a total of 154 runs. They managed only 144. Openers Yashasvi Jasiwal and Jos Buttler gave Rajasthan a good start by scoring in 40s but the rest of the batting line up fell like a pack of cards.

Although Rajasthan have a very strong top order, it can be noted that their middle and lower middle order has not contributed much with the bat. Sanju Samson has also delivered only sporadically.
