The match 49 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 will be going to take place between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Tuesday, April 30.
This will be the last match for Steve Smith before he leaves for Australia to join the World Cup camp, so they would like to send him off with a big win. RR haven’t lost to RCB at the Chinnaswamy since 2013 and have four victories against them at the venue.
On the other hand, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) became the first team in this Indian Premier League (IPL), to be eliminated. In their last two games, Virat Kohli & Co have nothing, but pride to play for.
