RCB would want to forget their previous game like a bad dream and just hope to move on quickly. A complete failure at bat resulted in the team being kicked out for 68 and they didn’t have a chance to really defend that. Troubles at the top of the rankings continued for RCB as Anuj Rawat and Virat Kohli struggled massively. There’s no question Kohli will be dropped, but we think Rawat could be replaced in the squad. Anyhow, it’s clear that RCB’s top order needs some runs and without a middle order to rescue them, we could see another collapse. Surprisingly the betting markets don’t seem to change much for Virat Kohli and you could bet against him to try and capitalize on his terrible form. Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed are the three hitters who excelled in the middle for RCB. We think it’s not a bad idea to bet on Maxwell scoring some runs in this match. Hitting RCB is vulnerable and it will also be up against two quality spinners on a surface that always gives them a bit of help. RCB’s bowling has been their forte this season and has allowed them to defend couple of times. The limits in Pune are larger than Wankhede or DY Patil Stadium, allowing their fast bowlers to use the short balls effectively. Harshal Patel, Josh Hazelwood and Wanindu Hasaranga should be a handful here. The challenge for them will be to find a way to get past the Rajasthan Royals’ in-form batting lineup.
Real Madrid had a confident run in the Champions League group round this year, where the team took first place in the group with Shakhtar, Sheriff and Inter, who were five points ahead. The first stage of the spring brought a brilliant strong-willed victory over PSG. After the defeat in Paris, the “creamy” managed to pull themselves together and beat the leader of French football with a score of 3:1. It is impossible not to recall the hat-trick of Karim Benzema, who repeated such an achievement in the next stage with Chelsea. By the way, the duel with the current winner of the main club tournament was not easy. After the away victory with a score of 3:1, the second leg ended in victory for the British, but the same Benzema in extra time won an important victory for the Galacticos. In the La Liga tournament, Carlo Ancelotti’s wards chalked up 24 wins and six peaceful outcomes after 33 rounds, which brought 78 points and 15 points to the nearest pursuer. In the last round the Whites easily defeated Osasuna (3:1) on the road. Casemiro, Diaz, Hazard and Jovic will not be able to play today.
