Dimensions
The stadium has a seating capacity of about 37,000 people. The stadium has been granted authorization to accommodate only 50% of the seats due to covid regulations.
Pitch & Condition
The ground is noted for being batsman-friendly, although it also helps excellent spin bowling. The black soil pitch is likely to have a lot of bounce, giving the chasing team an advantage. 
The par score is expected to be in the range of 170-180.
The temperature will be in the range of 41 to 24 degrees Celsius. The probability of precipitation is 0%, while humidity is forecast to be 24%.
Toss Prediction
In six IPL games, both teams had an equal chance of winning. However, the side batting second has won three of the last four times. As a result, the team that wins the toss should bat first.
According to toss prediction, RCB will win the toss and bowl first.

Team Analysis
Royal Challengers Bangalore
The middle-order of the Royal Challengers Bangalore has been the backbone of the team’s successes so far. In the middle, Shahbaz Ahmed is a consistent performer. With a strike rate of 139.06, the left-handed all-rounder has 178 runs in 6 innings. Dinesh Karthik, who has only been removed twice all season, has 210 runs at a 200-plus strike rate. Glenn Maxwell, the RCB’s retainer, has also played rapid knocks at a strike rate of 179.71. However, he needs to play with the top order in its current shape for a more extended period. The RCB’s pace attack will continue to be led by Josh Hazlewood, Mohammed Siraj, and Harshal Patel. The others, except Siraj, have shown to be crucial in terms of taking wickets. Patel has nine wickets, while Hazelwood has eight. Patel’s death bowling talents could help RCB against RR, who is known for scoring many runs in the last five overs. With 11 wickets, Hasaranga leads the RCB bowling attack. Hasaranga can rely on Lomror and Ahmed to help him stop the runs in the middle overs if Lomror is brought in.
Top players to bet on- Dinesh Karthik, Josh Hazelwood, Faf du Plessis.
Rajasthan Royals
Both Samson and Hetmyer have strike rates of above 170 and have both scored over 200 runs. The most significant disadvantage of RR is its weak middle order. If the beautiful fours fail to perform, both Karun Nair and Riyan Parag are unreliable choices for RR. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s return to the team would be great for Karun Nair. Riyan Parag will certainly not be replaced, as RR has been his backup for the past two seasons.
Furthermore, Parag is the only extra bowler in RR’s roster, aside from the five primary bowlers. RR’s bowling assault could be a problem because they only have five pure bowlers. As a result, the management anticipates them bowling at least 18 to 19 overs. Trent Bolt has gone for runs in the last two games. Prasiddh Krishna is the one who is putting a halt to the fleeing. Last game, he bowled a wicket maiden! This season, Yuzvendra Chahal has been brilliant with the ball. Chahal has 18 wickets at an economy rate of 7.28 and has worn the purple cap for the last four games.
On the other hand, R Ashwin is highly economical for RR but does not get the wickets they require. After bowling all 28 overs in seven games, Ashwin has only four wickets. After helping RR win their last two games, Obed McCoy will continue to play the death-over bowler role. The inclusion of Navdeep Saini over Parag could solve the problem, but the million-dollar question is who will explain RR management.
Top players to bet on – Sanju Samson, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jos Buttler.
