Our Prediction for IPL 2019 Match 14 RR vs RCB Who Will Win?
The key for RR will be Jofra Archer. He can be extremely effective at death. He’s got an extra 10ks compared to every other fast bowler and that’ll make things tough at the death for the RCB. But Jofra Archer has an Economy Rate of 6.33 in the first three games while the rest of RR pacers cumulatively concede at 11.26 per over. While being run out in a controversial manner against Kings XI Punjab, Jos Buttler has been dismissed for scores of 5 & 6.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore have won just 9 of their 31 matches in the last three seasons. For such a popular side – led by the Indian captain, those are extremely poor returns. Virat Kohli’s batting average of 21.27 against the Rajasthan Royals – his lowest batting average against all IPL teams. He has scored only 2 half-centuries in 17 innings against RR. In six innings in Jaipur, Kohli hasn’t crossed 40 and has a Strike Rate of 94.74.
| Team | Batting First Winning % | Batting Second Winning % |
