THE PREDICTION
Teams with runs on the board have had the greater success in the IPL so far and the conditions in the UAE are certainly affecting each team’s game plan. Batting first and putting over 200 on the board could prove key in putting the chasing side under pressure. Rajasthan Royals have the advantage of already having played once in Sharjah and they should have learned plenty from that experience. Batting is fairly straight forward for the big hitters but bowling and fielding is arguably more key and it could come down to which team can adapt to the conditions and small ground the best. Both teams are coming off excellent wins but the marginal preference goes to the Royals who should have an edge having already played in Sharjah once.
