On the road for redemption
It is what is. RCB simply have not been able to perform convincingly at home. The Chinnaswamy has backed their team to the end. But, some miscalculations and errors have lead to back-to-back defeats at home. The batting which has been fearless everywhere has seemed rash at home. The middle order dawdle has led to subpar totals twice in a row.
RCB is the stronger side
Moving on, the RR vs RCB game offers a good opportunity to reset for the team. First off, it is an away game and away games have been better for us. The large RCB fanbase across India, ensure that there is always plenty of support even in away games. That is something very few teams in the world can boast about.
Secondly, the hosts themselves haven’t had the greatest of starts. RR has 2 wins in 5 games and their side is still searching for a winning combination. RCB, on the other side have more or less a stable squad. With 3 wins in 5 and the 2 defeats which saw RCB fight as long as possible, the visitors go into the game as the stronger side.
