In what is their last home game of IPL 2019, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) who are almost got eliminated from the ongoing season will be facing the resurgent Rajasthan Royals (RR) side in what is a crucial game for both sides. A loss in their previous game left RCB reeling with their fate out of their hands while Rajasthan is still alive as they fight amongst the likes of KKR and KXIP for reaching the playoffs.
