The first match on a double-header Saturday is a contest between the Rajasthan Royals and the Royal Challengers Bangalore. The Royals have seen victories hard to come by and currently have only three wins in eight and are only just above the Kings XI Punjab in the current rankings.
On the other hand, we have RCB who have been quite outstanding in this season, they have five wins in eight and will be looking to seal another victory. RCB won their most recent fixture on the 3rd of October. A lot is at stake for RR and the Play-off chance will look quite bleak if they lose here.

Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Dubai International Stadium has been the pick of the three surfaces currently being used in the IPL. The pitch has been slowing up but not to the extent we have seen on the other two surfaces. There is still some help initially for seamers.
We expect that the spinners will dictate terms in the middle overs. A score of anything above 170 would be a fighting score. Both the captains would be looking to bat first upon winning the toss.
