Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) will lock horns in the 32nd match of Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday. This is a special match for RCB as they will don the Green jersey, like they do every year, to promote awareness about the environment. The team also seems to be confident about doing well having won the afternoon game played earlier at the same venue against Punjab Kings.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, will be looking to recover from the loss at the hands of Lucknow Super Giants at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. However, the Royals are at the top of the points table with four wins in six matches and the focus will be on returning to the winning ways.
But for both teams to earn two crucial points out of this game, weather should hold fort in Bangalore. It is pretty unpredictable when it comes to weather in the Garden city.
Let us have a look at the weather report in Bangalore today for RCB vs RR match:
Currently, there are intermittent clouds in Bangalore with the temperature around 33 Degrees Celsius. But there are predictions of thunderstorm around 3 PM when the toss is expected to take place. This might hinder the start time of the match while the clouds will clear away as the day progresses. The temperature will also come down to around 28 Degrees Celsius by evening. The chances of rain are maximum around 3 PM and the probability comes down later in the evening. So even though the start is delayed, the fans might get a chance to witness the entire 40 overs of action.
