A big factor in this game would be how the RR spin duo of R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal go against the RCB batters that haven’t quite done well against spinners. RR’s spinners have the best economy rate against RCB this year.
Keep an eye on…
Trent Boult: RCB have issues at the top and there’s none better than Trent Boult at exposing it. The left-arm quick will be a key bowler for RR in this fixture, especially with the new ball expected to assist pace.
Rajat Patidar: A sensational hundred in the eliminator and a few other crucial knocks this year has turned the focus on Rajat Patidar. Against RR’s spinners, Patidar will be a key player. He has the best strike-rate against spinners in IPL 2022..
TIP: Trent Boult will be more than handy with the new ball. Back him at 3.52 to be the top bowler tonight!
