Match Winner: Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Unfortunately, the Rajat Patidar-led RCB side has suffered three consecutive losses at home, while they dominated the opposition away from home quite easily. However, the Riyan Parag-led RR side has been suffering from poor form currently.

That said, we can anticipate RCB to come out on top in this particular fixture and bag their first win of the season at home to propel them to a better spot on the points table.
