Two teams in contrasting form meet in the Eliminator playoff match as Rajasthan Royals take on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. RR have lost their last four matches while RCB are on a six match winning run. It is hard to believe that a few weeks ago,RR were top of the table with just one loss while RCB were last on the table with almost no chance of making the playoffs. Since then the team’s form has gone in opposite directions. It is hard to pinpoint what exactly has gone astray for RR while the transformation with RCB is down to a mindset change.

Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Match Prediction: who will win?
It may be fair to say that Rajasthan got a little complacent after winning seven of their eight matches. There were some brilliant individual performances from the likes of Jos Butler, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal in the early part of the tournament that peppered over the cracks in their game. Since then, however, nobody has stood up to play the match winning innings although Riyan Parag has been in outstanding form. RCB had nothing to lose after the first eight games and decided to adopt an attacking mindset which paid unbelievable dividends. The momentum is on Faf Du Plessis’ side therefore we predict a RCB win.
Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Toss Prediction
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is known to be a very fair wicket for the duration of the 40 overs. The pitch may take turn last in the season so the team winning the toss may look to bat first.
Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Top Run scorer Prediction
We are tipping Virat Kohli to be the top run scorer in this match.
Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Top Wicket Taker Prediction

Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Betting Preview
The change in tactics of Kohli and Faf attacking the bowlers from ball one then translated to the bowlers who were suddenly more confident with ball in hand. Yash Dayal has been a revelation for RCB and again he was the hero for his team in the last match when he bowled a superb last over to MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja. Rajasthan have been further rocked by the departure of Jos Butler who has returned home to prepare for the T20 World Cup. The poor form of Yashasvi Jaiswal has hurt RR the most as he was their most prolific batsman last season. If he can come good in this match then there is a chance that his team will stop the RCB juggernaut. We are backing RCB to make it seven wins in a row.
Top Tips for Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru
