Rajasthan Royals (RR)
The revamped spin attack of Rajasthan Royals (RR) has proved to be a success after the pacers have been able to strike in the powerplay. Boult has the wood over Faf du Plessis, getting the RCB skipper thrice in 43 balls, having conceded just 37 runs.
Probable XI: Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Navdeep Saini, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna

The batting lineup is expected to be the same for this match as well. If Glenn Maxwell has completed his quarantine and is available for selection, he will be replacing Sherfane Rutherford in the eleven. Shahbaz Ahmed is expected to keep his place after a late bloom with the bat in the last match. It would be interesting to see how much Faf uses him for bowling. Akash Deep went for plenty in the last game but picked up 3 wickets. He is expected to keep his place at least for this game.
Probable XI: Faf du Plessis, Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik, Sherfane Rutherford/Glenn Maxwell, Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga, David Willey, Harshal Patel, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj
