IPL 2019: 14th Match, Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore – Match Prediction; It has been a tough ride so far for Rajasthan and Challengers in the tournament. They both lost their last three games comfortable thus making things look bleak for them in the season. Meanwhile, the duo will be ready to take on each other at Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Tuesday.
After losing three matches on a trot, they will now visit Jaipur for their fourth game of the season to be played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Ajinkya Rahane’s team has performed equally bad, losing their three games in the season.
Royal Challengers Bangalore once again got a star-studded lineup in their ranks but unfortunately, they are failing to make the most of the opportunity. They are on the wrong side of luck in the home game facing Mumbai while in the games against CSK and SRH, they were pretty poor.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals had done their best in all the three games but they were too close in losing the games. First game, they were outdone by Mankading incident and then it was the show of David Warner and the Co. Finally, in the third, they lost a thriller in the hands of Chennai Super Kings.
The Royals need to improve their bowling at the death overs in order to reverse their fortunes. They have conceded more than 10 runs per over in the last eight overs in both their games. RCB, on the other hand, need to work both on their bowling and batting department.
All in all, both Teams come into the game with the pressure to win. While RCB will be desperate to bring smiles on the faces of their fans, RR team will be looking to climb up the points table and make it to the top four.

Pitch Report:
The pitch would once again assist the batsmen well. However, it also helped the bowlers with its slow nature. It would be interesting to see how it plays on the game day. The toss-winning captain would love to chase the target.
Weather Report:
The temperature would hover around 38 degrees. As the match is scheduled to play in the evening session, it would be nice for the players to enjoy the game. It will go down to 21 degrees. No rain threat for the game.
Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore – Match Prediction
So far, both the teams lost all their games in the tournament. But, if you look at the performance wise, Rajasthan had all the rights to win all their games but something or the other dented their chances. On the other hand, the Virat Kohli-led side would be eager to win the game. However, the home side would enter into the game as favourites.
