Two in-form teams, Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, are set to compete in the 16th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Rajasthan Royals lead the standings with three consecutive wins, while Royal Challengers Bengaluru come into the match after back-to-back victories.
Both teams possess strong batting lineups, with Rajasthan showing better bowling prowess under Riyan Parag’s captaincy. The pace attacks of both sides are equally formidable, with Jacob Duffy and Bhuvneshwar Kumar leading Bengaluru’s attack, and Jofra Archer partnering with Nandre Burger for Rajasthan.
A key focus will be on how Bengaluru deals with Rajasthan’s aggressive opening duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who have been in exceptional form. Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will rely on Virat Kohli and Phil Salt for a solid start, with Tim David providing late firepower as seen in the previous match against Chennai.
The match is scheduled for Friday, April 10, at 7:30 PM IST at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Viewers can catch the RR vs RCB game on Star Sports channels, with JioHotstar offering live streaming.
