Royal Challengers Bangalore will be looking to stretch their winning run into two games in a row when they take on Rajasthan Royals at Abu Dhabi on Saturday. RCB are high on confidence after their thrilling win over the defending champions, Mumbai Indians, in their previous match. A fine bowling effort by Navdeep Saini at the death and in the Super Over helped RCB in snatching the win away from MI.
The Royals, on the other hand, were taken down by Kolkata Knight Riders in their previous match after starting the season with two games in a row. Their middle-order got badly exposed in the last game and hence, we might see some changes to strengthen it in this match.
Miss this at your own risk. 🙂

Team News
Chris Morris hasn’t recovered from his injury yet, so he is expected to remain on the sidelines for RCB once again.
Rajasthan Royals don’t have any injury concerns but we might see Yashasvi Jaiswal coming back at the top of the order replacing an out of form Robin Uthappa.

Royal Challengers Bangalore
Devdutt Padikkal, Aaron Finch, Virat Kohli (c), AB de Villiers (wk), Shivam Dube, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Isuru Udana, Washington Sundar, Adam Zampa, Navdeep Saini, Yuzvendra Chahal

Fantasy Tips
- Devdutt Padikkal and AB de Villiers are must haves in this contest as they have scored two fifties each thus far.
- The same goes for Steven Smith and Sanju Samson. They have also scored two fifties each for Rajasthan Royals this season.
- Yuzvendra Chahal and Jofra Archer are the best bowlers available in this match and can be expected to pick up wickets once again.
- Virat Kohli and Jos Buttler are yet to fire in this season and this might just be the match that would help them to get going.
