RR vs RCB Head to Head Record in IPL History

Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore‘s return fixture of the ongoing 16th season of the Indian Premier League will be played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium today. Played exactly three weeks ago at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, the first match of the season between these two teams had resulted in RR falling short of a 190-run target by 7 runs.

RCB, who have won three out of their last five matches against this opposition, have managed to build a 14-12 lead over them in RR vs RCB Head to Head Record in IPL History. Having said that, Rajasthan have done better than Bangalore when it comes to both playing in the month of May and in Jaipur.

Speaking of this city, this rivalry will take place here after a four-year period. With the home team winning the last three matches of this rivalry at this venue, it is noteworthy that Royal Challengers haven’t been able to win here since 2012. Interestingly, the visitors had also defended a 190-run target back then. Only former captain Virat Kohli and pacer Harshal Patel are part of the current teams from that match.

Needless to say, neither of Royals or Royal Challengers can afford a loss on Sunday. Having already lost six matches each, an additional loss will snatch their chances of qualifying for the playoffs from their hands.
