Both Rajasthan and Bangalore teams have a common problem. There has been inconsistency in the performance of the middle order of both the teams. Rajasthan have an excellent opening pair in the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler and both of them are also contributing but captain Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer are scoring runs in the middle order but they need to bring consistency in their performance. Devdutt Padikkal and Riyan Parag are not able to live up to the expectations.
On the other hand, the opening pair of Faf Duplessis and Virat Kohli have done exceptionally well for RCB. Glenn Maxwell has displayed his long hitting skills but lacks consistency. Along with this, RCB will expect good performances from Dinesh Karthik, Mahipal Lomaror, Shahbaz Ahmed and Suyash Prabhudesai in the middle order.
Possible XI:
Royal Challengers Bangalore:Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Shahbaz Ahmed, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Suyash Prabhudeshai, Harshal Patel, Wayne Parnell, Wanindu Hasaranga, Mohammed Siraj
Impact Players:Anuj Rawat, Akash Deep, Siddharth Kaul, Karn Sharma
Rajasthan Royals:Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson (c, wk), Shimron Hetmyer, R Ashwin, Dhruv Jurel, Trent Boult, Adam Zampa, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal
Impact Players:Murugan Ashwin, Navdeep Saini, Riyan Parag, KM Asif
Pathirana saved 19 runs in the last over, Maxwell-Plessis innings did not work
