Rajasthan Royals (RR) will battle against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 60th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday (May 14). Notably, these two teams have met each other once in the IPL 2023, where RR suffered a defeat by seven runs.

As far as the previous matches of these two teams are concerned, while Rajasthan registered a win against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their last match , RCB lost to Mumbai Indians (MI). Yashasvi Jaiswal was the standout performer for Rajasthan in their victory as he slammed a brilliant 98 off 47 deliveries. RR skipper Sanju Samson also contributed with a quickfire 48 off 29 balls in the run chase. Among bowlers, Trent Boult picked two wickets for the Rajasthan-based team. On the other hand, despite Glenn Maxwell’s and Faf du Plessis’s storming knocks of 68 runs and 65 runs, RCB ended up losing against MI.

RR currently are placed at the fifth spot in the IPL 2023 points table and will look to break into the top three by defeating Bangalore on Sunday. Meanwhile, RCB are on the sixth position and will aim not to lose any game further.
