RCB vs RR Dream11: Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Rajasthan Royals in the 39th match of the IPL 2022. RCB are fifth in the points table and very much in the playoffs range, but that can change quickly in the second-half scramble that is possible in a 10-team league. There is an air of vulnerability around RCB, exacerbated by the 68-all-out. Rajasthan are third in the table with 5 wins and 2 losses in 7 matches.

The wickets at the MCA Stadium have had a bit of a mid-season breather thanks to the rescheduling of the two Delhi Capitals games this week. That might just push the teams into chasing once more despite some signs of tiring wickets in the competition. That said chasing teams have a 50% win record here this season.
