The 32nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 will see the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lock horns with the Rajasthan Royals (RR). M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will host this encounter.

The Royal Challengers have played six games so far and have won three. They got back to winning ways in their previous game by beating the Punjab Kings convincingly in Mohali.

On the back of fifties from Virat Kohli (59) and Faf du Plessis (84), the Royal Challengers posted 174 on the board. Mohammed Siraj starred with the ball as he finished with figures of 4/21 and helped them knock over the Kings for 150 to win the game by 24 runs.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, lost their last fixture. They have won four out of six games and have eight points under their belt. They lost to the Lucknow Super Giants in their last game which was a close-fought contest.

Bowling first, the Royals picked up seven wickets and restricted the Super Giants to 154, with Ravichandran Ashwin finishing with two scalps. Yashasvi Jaiswal (44) and Jos Buttler (40) did well at the top of the order but the other batters failed to contribute as they fell short by 10 runs. They will be looking to bounce back in their next fixture against RCB.
