BLR vs RR Dream11 Prediction and Player Stats: IPL 2021

BLR vs RR Dream11 Prediction: 16th Match, IPL 2021

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals will play against each other in the 16th match of IPL 2021 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. We will cover BLR vs RR Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing XI, and Fantasy Cricket Tips of IPL 2021.

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

Royal Challengers Bangalore is in exceptional form as they have won three out of the three matches and are currently at the top of the points table with six points. They performed very well in the last game and won the game comfortably by 38 runs.

Virat Kohli has been opening the innings and batting decently, but he is yet to play a big inning so far in this season. Devdutt Padikkal has appeared to be struggling to score runs in the two matches he has played so far. RCB has not had any single player at No.3, and they have changed the players in every game.

Maxwell is in brilliant form as he has scored two back-to-back fifties, and along with him, ABD is also batting exceptionally well and providing good finishes to the team. The lower middle-order is not that strong for RCB, but it won’t be a problem until their top and middle-order keep performing consistently.

The bowlers have been the team’s backbone and have been picking up wickets consistently in every match. Harshal Patel is in hot red form and is currently the highest wicket-taker this season. Kyle Jamieson picked up three wickets in the last game but was also expensive. Yuzvendra Chahal is back to form and has started picking up wickets. Sundar managed to pick up a wicket in the previous match.

Royal Challengers Bangalore needs to keep performing the same way, and they have a very good chance of winning the title this year.

Rajasthan Royals:

Rajasthan Royals have not performed well so far as they have won only one out of the three matches so far and are currently at the 6th position on the points table with just two points. Their batsmen failed in the last game, and as a result, they lost the game by a margin of 45 runs.

Jos Buttler is opening the innings and played well in the last match but was unlucky to miss fifty by just one run. Manan Vohra has struggled to score runs in all three games and is at risk of losing his position in the playing XI. Sanju Samson, after the first game, has not been impactful in the last two games.

In the middle-order, Shivam Dube struggles to score runs and is just putting a lot of pressure on other batsmen. David Miller has been batting well and needs to spend some time in the middle before he accelerates. The youngster Riyan Parag is a very good striker of the ball, but he needs to be push up the order as he is not a lower-order batsman.

Rahul Tewatia and Chris Morris have been doing a decent job, but they need to play big shots down to provide a good finish to the team. The bowlers have been in and out of rhythm so far this season as they have managed to pick up wickets and concede a lot of runs.

The youngster Chetan Sakariya has been doing a brilliant job and picked up three wickets once again in the last match. Chris Morris has been the consistent wicket-taker for RR so far this season. Mustafizur and Tewatia managed to pick up a wicket in the previous game.

Rajasthan Royals need to improve slightly in the middle-order, and the rest of the team looks sorted.

Pitch Report

Average first innings score: 175

Average second innings score: 168

(The average score is based on six matches played here at this venue in this season)

The pitch here generally helps the fast bowlers in the initial overs, but after that, it becomes completely dead, and the batsmen can score runs easily.

A lot of dew will be present in the second innings, which will make the job of bowlers even more difficult.

If there is a change of ball and a dry ball is taken, the spinners will have an advantage. We can expect a high score from this game.

(The chasing team at this venue has won four out of the six matches so far in this season)

Weather Forecast

The weather will be mostly cloudy, but there is no chance of rain during the match.
