Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Rajasthan Royals Weather and Pitch Report

The city of Bengaluru is expected to have a clear sky today with the sun expected to be out. The pitch curator is yet to reveal the Chinnaswamy pitch, having covered it with two layers of hessian for the past two days. However, we might experience a tricky surface which can allow the ball to stop sometimes after being stuck, but the outfield should be fast.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Rajasthan Royals Match Prediction 24 April 2025

These are two teams with their own difficulties, but Rajasthan Royals might be the side with the most jobs to do. At home, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been disappointing, but they will surely believe there is no perfect time to end their woes. While the Rajasthan Royals are coming off a disappointing four-game winless run, I expect the visitors to show hunger, desire, and competitiveness while displaying character. However, I feel the importance of a solid squad will still be the major issue Rajasthan Royals will have to deal with, as their players have not lived up to expectations this season.

While the Royal Challengers Bengaluru are favourites in this game, securing a win against a side like the Rajasthan Royals should not be an issue. In the meantime, I am confident the visiting team will give them a lot of trouble and score a lot of runs, just like their first meeting; hence, I will also bet on this option.
