Indian T20 League 2022: Bangalore vs Rajasthan Fantasy Cricket Match-Ups

Three-time runners-up Bangalore will meet high-flying Rajasthan in match 39 of the Indian T20 League 2022 season. Faf du Plessis' men will be keen to regroup after being humbled by Hyderabad on Saturday. The franchise registered the sixth-lowest total in Indian T20 League history after being bowled out for 68 at Brabourne Stadium. With ten points, Bangalore are fifth in the points table. 

Powered by Jos Buttler's century and Prasidh Krishna's 3/22, Rajasthan clinched a 15-run win over Delhi. It was their fifth win in the 2022 campaign, and a victory on Tuesday will take them to the top of the standings. 

We look at five First Games fantasy cricket Match-Ups in the Bangalore-Rajasthan match. 

G Maxwell vs F du Plessis

Bangalore teammates Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis take on each other in a re-Match-Up of the Hyderabad-Bangalore game. Maxwell made 12, while his skipper perished for just five runs against Hyderabad.

Verdict: G Maxwell's all-round abilities gives him the edge over F du Plessis.

Did You Know? G Maxwell struck a fifty - 50* off 30 balls - against Rajasthan last season

J hazlewooD vs  H PATEL

Harshal Patel has shown excellent consistency with the ball in the 15th edition. The last season's Purple Cap winner picked up at least one wicket in six of the seven matches he played. On the other hand, Josh Hazlewood took eight wickets from four matches. The Aussie pacer grabbed a three-wicket haul and a four-fer against Delhi and Lucknow, respectively.

Verdict: The ever-reliable H Patel is likely to outscore J Hazlewood at MCA Stadium, Pune

W Hasaranga vs T Boult

Sri Lanka all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga bagged only one wicket in his last three matches. However, he registered figures of 2/28 in Bangalore's lone game in Pune. Rajasthan pacer Trent Boult, too, hasn't taken a wicket and conceded almost 12 runs per over since his return from injury. 

Verdict: T Boult holds an advantage over W Hasaranga in this Match-Up

s aHMED vs R ASHWIN

Shahbaz Ahmed is Bangalore's third-highest run-scorer in the 2022 season. The 27-year-old, who bats at No 6, made 25+ scores in five of the six innings and played pivotal roles in the victories over Rajasthan and Delhi. Rajasthan's Ravichandran Ashwin has not been as prolific as Yuzvendra Chahal but has bowled economically in the tournament so far. He grabbed the crucial wicket of Prithvi Shaw and finished with figures of 2/32 in the thrilling win over Delhi. 

Verdict: S Ahmed is likely to pick more fantasy points than R Ashwin

Did You Know? In the last meeting between the two teams, S Ahmed topped Bangalore's fantasy points chart with 59 points

V KOHLII vs s samson

V Kohlii's disastrous run in the 2022 season continued after Marco Jansen dismissed him for a first-ball duck. The 33-year-old went back to the pavilion without disturbing the scorers in a second successive match. In stark contrast, Rajasthan skipper Sanju Samson struck 38 and 46* in Rajasthan's last two games. 

Verdict: With V Kohlii struggling, S Samson is the favorite to win this Match-Up.
