The clash between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been the perfect combination of thrilling contests and intense battles on the cricket field.  

The teams have faced each other in 30 matches and on head-to-head record RCB has an upper hand against RR in the encounters. The Faf du Plessis franchise has emerged victorious in 15 fixtures while RR has managed to win 12 matches, and three matches had no result. 

The teams are all geared up to face each other today in the 19th Match of the Indian Premier League 2024 at the Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium, Jaipur. Let's take a look at the last time these teams faced each other. 


When RCB Faced RR In 2023

The Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals faced Faf du Plessis' Royal Challengers in a crucial encounter in the 60th match of the IPL 2023 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. This encounter was vital for both teams as a win in the game would have kept their chances alive in the league. 

In that match, Royal Challengers Bangalore (now Bengaluru) defeated home team Rajasthan Royals by a massive margin of 112 runs 

Earlier in the match, RCB captain Faf du Plessis won the toss and decided to bat first. It was a solid start for the away team as the opener kept scoring runs, but things changed a little when RCB lost a crucial wicket in the form of Virat Kohli, who merely scored 18 runs. 

After du Plessis reached his fifty, he got out on 55 off 44 balls, while the ‘Big Show’ Maxwell maintained the scoring rate with a quick-fire half-century. Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell managed the middle order scoring 171/5 on board. 

RCB bowler Mohammed Siraj scalped the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first over itself, while Wayne Parnell got rid of Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson, increasing the trouble for RR. 

The South African seamer scaled 3 wickets conceding 10 runs. Very soon the batting line of RR collapsed at the score of 59 runs.
