When: Saturday, April 6, 19:30 IST

Where: Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur

What to expect: Contrary to the historical data, the two games in Jaipur this season have both seen 180-plus scores by the team batting first. One came in an afternoon game while the other was an evening contest. Batting became easier in the evening game and it could be a trend again. It should be another batting-friendly surface but could still have something in it to keep the bowlers interested.

Team watch:

Rajasthan Royals

Injury/Availability: All is well in the RR camp when it comes to the fitness of their squad with no casualties reported.

Tactics and Matchups: Sandeep Sharma loves playing RCB, tallying 26 wickets from 18 games at a frugal economy rate of 7.94 and a strike rate of 15.6. While he has historically operated with the new ball and at the death in equal proportion, RR seem to have given him a full-fledged death-over specialist role this season. However, Sandeep has an impeccable record against Virat Kohli, having dismissed RCB's premier batter seven times in 67 deliveries! Sandeep has also dislodged Glenn Maxwell twice in 15 deliveries. Whether his role will be flexible due to this data in this contest is anybody's guess. Given the convincing nature of their win against Mumbai Indians, the Royals should field an unchanged side.

Probable XI: Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c/wk), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Nandre Burger, Avesh Khan, Trent Boult. [Impact substitute - Shubham Dubey]

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Injury/Availability: All players are expected to be available for the game in Jaipur

Tactics and Matchups: Jos Buttler might not be in form so far but the threat he carries is known to all. Particularly at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium where he has racked up runs for fun. Fortunately for RCB, they have two bowlers who have the wood over the English white-ball captain. Fellow Englishman Reece Topley has removed Buttler four times in 42 deliveries while Mohammed Siraj has also accounted for the opener twice in 29 deliveries. This new-ball battle could go a long way in deciding RCB's bowling fortunes in the game.

Probable XI: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Anuj Rawat (wk), Dinesh Karthik, Mayank Dagar, Reece Topley, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal. [Impact substitute - Mahipal Lomror]

Did you know ?

- Jos Buttler's highest score in his last six IPL innings is 13 which he registered in the last game against Mumbai Indians. The Englishman ended IPL 2023 with three successive ducks and the new season hasn't been too different so far.
