In the 16th match of IPL 2021, Royal Challengers Bangalore(RCB) will be facing Rajasthan Royals(RR) in Mumbai on Thursday. RCB is coming from a win against Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR) in the last match while RR lost to Chennai Super Kings(CSK). 

Royal Challengers Bangalore's batting line-up will be looking forward to playing in Mumbai. The batting pitch will suit their star batters and one could expect a big score from them. Virat Kohli will be crucial for the team and so will be the in-form Glenn Maxwell. AB de Villiers has been successful in finishing the games for RCB so far. 

RCB could bring in Daniel Sams, who not only bowls but is a handy batsman in the lower order. Mohammad Siraj could be the game-changer for Bangalore. Kyle Jamieson will come in handy since the pitch will assist the extra bounce. 

Rajasthan Royals' batting has flopped so far in the tournament. Apart from one of Sanju Samson's innings, the rest of the batters have been inconsistent including the captain. Manan Vohra might get replaced by Yashaswi Jaiswal in this game. 

David Miller's form currently is good news for the Royals and they will be banking on his skills especially in the death overs. 

RR has gone in with a trio of left-arm seamers who have done decently so far. Mustafizur Rahman has been accurate with his variations and takes wickets, especially in the death overs. 

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals have been neck to neck against each other in the IPL. However, going by the current form, RCB is looking much balanced and confident than RR and is favorites to win this contest. 

RCB Probable XI - Virat Kohli (c), Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar/ Daniel Sams, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers (wk), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Kyle Jamieson, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal
