Two teams in form Rajasthan Royals (RR) and this Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)Match number 16 of the Indian Premier League will be played at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Friday, April 10.
Royals are currently on top of the points table, having won all three matches played so far. Their wins have come against Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians. On the other hand, Royal Challengers have won two consecutive matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings.
Rajasthan and Bengaluru have very strong batting lineups, while the bowling looks a little more compact for Riyan Parag's team. The new bowlers of both the teams are world class. Jacob Duffy and Bhuvneshwar Kumar start the proceedings at RCB, while Jofra Archer and Nandre Berger share the new ball at Royals.
Royal Challengers would like to dismiss Royals' opening pair Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi as the left-handed pair has wreaked havoc so far in IPL 2026. On the other hand, the defending champions want Virat Kohli and Phil Salt to lay a solid base so that Tim David can explode like he did in the last game against Chennai.
