On: April 10, 2026 4:51 PM

Both teams haven’t lost yet and are easily at the top of the points table. However, the weather in Guwahati could make or break this important game.

On Friday, April 10, the Rajasthan Royals will play the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Both teams haven’t lost yet and are easily at the top of the points table. However, the weather in Guwahati could make or break this important game.

RR vs RCB – The weather report

It might rain during the day, but the chances of that happening are supposed to go down by evening. It rains about 14% of the time during the game, but only 3% of the time as the night goes on. From 25 degrees Celsius to 21 degrees Celsius, it will stay that way.

Details about the match between RR and RCB

Riyan Parag’s Rajasthan Royals will play Rajat Patidar’s Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The game will start at 7:30 PM IST, and the toss will happen at 7:00 PM IST. Fans can watch the game live on the Star Sports Network and stream it on the JioHotstar app or website.

The roads were pretty empty because almost 85% of people who were able to vote had already gone to the polls to decide their future and the future of their state. It wasn’t political, there weren’t any honking horns at busy intersections and there wasn’t any joy that the country’s most famous cricket team was in town for the first time. The proof was probably already there when only about half the stadium was filled to see the Chennai Super Kings and the Mumbai Indians, two other big visiting teams, over the last 10 days.

The ground where the big fight was being planned felt just as cold as the streets. The players on the bench, including Venkatesh Iyer, Jacob Bethell, Swapnil Singh, Lhuan dre Pretorious, Shubham Dubey and Aman Rao, practiced against net bowlers and side arm throws. They spent quality time in the nets while most of the top players skipped the optional evening practice session or did light warm ups on the side.

It looked like the fringe players could provide almost as much fun at games as their teammates have this season, as evidenced by the number of big hits they made. They probably won’t have much of a say in how the two teams play when they face off on Friday night, trying to show who is the best in IPL 2026.

The light practice session didn’t show how intense this Battle Royal would be, but this is where the early edge of control will be given up. In the last two weeks, RCB and the Royals have been tied for first place a few times. Both teams were on a winning streak, like Punjab Kings. After Friday’s game, one team will be in the lead and will have lost their last two games. Both teams will then say goodbye to the IPL 2026 in Guwahati and the city’s bugs.

ACA Stadium, Guwahati, for the match between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru

As a change, it’s not supposed to rain during the match hours. However, there might be a few short drizzles earlier in the day. But don’t be shocked if the sky is cloudy at different points in the game.

When the two teams have met before, RCB has won four of the six games since 2023, giving them a narrow 17-14 lead.

The Rajasthan Royals

Injuries/Not Available – No reports of injuries

Strategies and Matches: Ravi Bishnoi has pretty well limited Virat Kohli and Phil Salt, and he has also caused problems for Tim David in the past. The leggie will likely be used in the Powerplay if the openers make it that long and he will be brought on to control the threat in the death.

Possible XII

Shimron Hetmyer, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Tushar Deshpande, Sandeep Sharm and Ravi Bishnoi. Dhruv Jurel (wk), Riyan Parag (c) and Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel, Bishnoi and Bishnoi.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Because of injuries or being unable to play, some players chose not to attend the Thursday open practice. Nobody has said anything about illnesses and Josh Hazlewood’s comeback date is still unknown.

Strategies and Matchups

Since 2022, no other Rajasthan Royals batter has scored at a strike rate of over 135 against spin in the IPL. Only Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi have done that. The middle over choke could be used by Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma.

Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (c), Tim David, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Abhinandan Singh, Jacob Duffy and Suyash Sharma are the likely XII to play.
