The 15th match of the ongoing 13th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) is going to be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Saturday.
With 2 wins from 3 matches, RCB are coming back after a Super Over win against Mumbai while Rajasthan would be looking to bounce back after the loss against Kolkata on Wednesday. It should be an interesting battle when Rajasthan who are placed at 6th position in points table and 7th ranked Bangalore take the field against each other.
Head to Head Stats
Total Matches Played : 21

Match Prediction
Despite Bangalore’s win and Rajasthan’s loss in their respective previous match, I am backing Rajasthan to win this one. Rajasthan were brilliant in their first 2 matches and it was the new venue and new playing conditions that outplayed them in their previous match against Kolkata.
Bangalore on the other hand hasn’t looked consistent enough so far. RCB were bowled out for 109 by Punjab and nearly lost to Mumbai even after scoring 201. I am backing Rajasthan to come out victorious in this match.
