THE PREDICTION

There is plenty of star quality on show here between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals as Virat Kohli faces off against Steve Smith. Both teams have played three games and won two so whichever side wins will go top of the IPL ladder. The Royals fell short last time out to lose their first game but they will not be too concerned by that and they will be confident of bouncing back here. There is little to choose between the two sides coming into this game but the marginal preference goes to the Royals. Their bowling attack just has that X-factor with Jofra Archer and with the batting fairly equal, Archer and company can just give them the edge in what should be another close affair.
