Preview

Bangalore and Rajasthan are all set to play the first afternoon game of the season on Saturday. Both the teams had a similar start to their campaign with two wins in the first three games. Bangalore got off the mark with a win despite making some blunders in the playing XI against Hyderabad. Later, they had a wake up call against Punjab and did a lot of things right with their XI against Mumbai. However, with a good batting form and a good bowling on paper, they badly need to improve their death bowling and fielding to increase their chances in Abu Dhabi to take the two points.

On the other hand, Rajasthan played outside Sharjah for the first time where they experienced a whole lot of difference in terms of conditions. While chasing 175 in Dubai, they couldn’t play according to conditions and ended up losing by 37 runs. Their batting depends a lot on the top three. Hence, it is good for them to have a way more balanced batting order to tackle this well balanced Bangalore side. However, they won all the last three matches against them and would like to extend their winning streak to get back on track in Abu Dhabi.
