Rajasthan Royals (RR) will play Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in match number 60 of the IPL 2023 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. This match will be a must-win game for both RR and RCB as they will look to get their maximum capacity of 16 points in the table to ensure their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.

RR will be coming after a terrific nine-wicket victory against KKR in their previous game, while RCB will be coming after two back-to-back defeats against DC and MI due to their poor bowling attack, which ensured the opponent chased down the target with 20-plus balls to spare in both games.
