Rajasthan Royals are currently undefeated in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. They have three straight wins and six points. However, they are on the second spot in the points table due to less net run rate than Kolkata Knight Riders.

They would have the opportunity to get on top of the points table with a win in this match. They are on a win streak and would like to add another victory to it. On the other hand, RCB lost their two games at their home ground of M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. RR would like to build more pressure on them and win this match too.
