IPL 2019, RR vs RCB preview: Laggards Royals, RCB in search of first win



The Match 14 of VIVO Indian Premier League (IPL 2019) will be a battle between laggards when Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore lock horns at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Tuesday. RR and RCB have failed to win a single match so far in IPL 2019. Rajasthan Royals choked at crucial moments in their three matches whereas RCB had one of their worst start of IPL campaign this season as they were bundled out for 70 in IPL 2019 opener while went for leather hunt against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Rajasthan Royals have failed to tighten the screws when it mattered most. In all three matches, they were in a good position but could not grab the moments, losing to Kings XI Punjab, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings respectively. In Chennai on Sunday, Royals had CSK reeling at 27 for three before skipper MS Dhoni smashed an unbeaten 75 off 46 balls to bail the hosts out of trouble and eventually win the game by eight runs. "We win as a team and we lose as a team. If we win the smaller moments in T20s we will do well. We have played well in the last three games and hopefully with some luck we'll be able to turn it around," said Royals skipper Ajinkya Rahane after the loss against CSK.
Royals, who boast of star players such as Steve Smith and Ben Stokes, have failed to live up to the expectations. In their first match against Kings XI Punjab, Royals' bowlers allowed the visitors to score some vital runs in death overs and later the batsmen disappointed after being put on victory course by Rahane and Jos Buttler.
