Today's match in IPL 2023 will be the thirteenth and twelfth game for both RR and RCB.

Rajasthan Royals have been quite inconsistent in this edition and have accumulated twelve points with 6 wins and 6 losses in 12 matches, while Royal Challengers Bangalore have been very inconsistent in this edition and has accumulated ten points with 5 wins and 6 losses in 11 matches.

The RR will be led by Sanju Samson, while Faf du Plessis will lead the RCB.

In their last match, Rajasthan Royals emerged victorious against Kolkata Knight Riders by 9 wickets, while Royal Challengers Bangalore faced defeat in their last match against Mumbai Indians by 6 wickets.

In this article, we will take a look at the top 3 players expected to perform well in Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore match.

Five defeats over their last six games had put the erstwhile table-toppers Rajasthan Royals outside the playoffs cutoff, but it took a record-fastest IPL fifty and a resounding away win in Kolkata earlier this week to bring them back in contention for the knockouts.

As they prepare to sign off from their home base this season, RR would hope to keep the winning streak going against an inconsistent Royal Challengers Bangalore contingent in Jaipur

It wasn't long ago that RCB had a real shot at breaking into the top-four, against a hapless Delhi Capitals, but their two losses since have dragged them back into the mid-table traffic jam.

However, they do have an extra game in hand compared to their opponents

Overall, it'll be an interesting encounter between highly competent teams, a visible treat to the viewers!!
