IPL 2026 RR VS RCB Today Match Live: Two in-form sides, Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), are set to meet in the 16th match of IPL 2026 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium (ACA Stadium), Guwahati, on Friday, with both teams aiming to halt each other’s winning momentum. Rajasthan Royals have been in superb form, winning all three of their matches against Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians to climb to the top of the table.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru, meanwhile, arrive with momentum after back-to-back wins over Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings. Both teams possess strong batting line-ups, but Rajasthan appear slightly more balanced with their bowling attack under Riyan Parag’s leadership.
The pace units on both sides are equally dangerous with the new ball. For Bengaluru, Jacob Duffy and Bhuvneshwar Kumar lead the attack, while Rajasthan rely on Jofra Archer alongside Nandre Burger.
A major contest will be how Bengaluru handle Rajasthan’s explosive opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi. In reply, RCB will depend on Virat Kohli and Phil Salt to build a solid start before Tim David looks to finish strongly as he did in the previous match against Chennai Super Kings.
The clash promises high intensity cricket throughout the evening. By the end of Friday’s clash, only one side will be ahead, as the winning streak of one team is set to be snapped before both head out of IPL 2026 action in Guwahati.
