The 42nd match of the ongoing IPL 2025 will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both teams played each other a couple of weeks back and the three-time finalists won. So far, RCB has won five games, all away from home. They haven’t been able to win at home in the three games they played so far.
The Royals have played eight games and have lost six. They need to win their remaining six games. They not only need to win but also need to improve their NRR just in case it comes into play. They would fancy against RCB at the Chinnaswamy Stadium as the home side is yet to win. However, RCB will also fancy playing against out of form RR at home.
