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.
