Can Shimron Hetmyer come good against RCB as RR eye desperate win?

Rajasthan Royals are under massive pressure as they prepare to take on RCB at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Heading into this contest, RR have lost all of their last four matches.

Their last two games were such that they could have won but failed to finish the matches. They will be desperate to end their losing streak and look to come back strong.

In their way stand RCB, who are confident after defeating Punjab Kings in their last game. Moreover, when these two sides last met, RCB beat RR comprehensively by nine wickets.

Power-hitter Shimron Hetmyer has not quite been at his best with the bat this season. He has only managed to score 176 runs from eight matches at an average of 25.14 and a strike-rate of 153.04. In their last two games, Hetmyer was at the crease and failed to finish the matches for his side.

The left-hander was previously a part of RCB and thus returns to familiar territory at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. He will be eager to put in a solid performance and is also under pressure to deliver, with his side struggling to find their way at the moment.
