IPL 2021: RCB vs RR, Match 16: Pitch Report, Probable XIs and Match Prediction

In the 16th match of the ongoing IPL, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will clash with Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Having won all three matches, RCB will not make any changes to their squad. Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers and Harshal Patel’s current form will help the Virat Kohli-led team to excel in all the departments.

On the other hand, with only one win from three matches, Sanju Samson & Co. will try to make things work for them. A major concern for the Royals is their opening batsman Manan Vohra who has failed to dominate the bowlers. They might replace him with young Yashasvi Jaiswal. The re🅺maining squad should be sam🥃e as in their last match.
