IPL 2019, Match 49 – RCB vs RR: Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report And Injury Update
After their defeat against the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Feroz Shah Kotla, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) became the first team in this Indian Premier League (IPL), to be eliminated. In their last two games, Virat Kohli & Co have nothing, but pride to play for. In their next contest, the Challengers are scheduled to face the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The Royals, on the contrary, are still in contention for a playoffs berth following back-to-back victories. However, their Net Run Rate at -0.321 isn’t in the greatest of shapes and the same needs to be resurrected if RR has to progress with seven wins under their belt. RR hasn’t lost to Bangalore at the Chinnaswamy since 2013 and also have four victories against them at the venue.

Pitch Condition/Report:
The pitch in Bengaluru has been a tough one to deal with for the bowlers. The batsmen have been able to make hay in every other match. However, the deck has something for the bowlers and has at times shown signs of generating a significant amount of turn. Another high-scoring affair seems to be in the store for tomorrow’s contest.
