The 32nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) will pit Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore are coming off a victory over the Punjab Kings by a score of 24 runs. Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, were defeated by Lucknow Super Giants by 10 runs in their most recent match.
RCB vs RR Probable Playing 11: Hazlewood, Zampa and Willey to Make a Comeback
Josh Hazlewood joined the RCB camp last week while recovering from an Achilles injury. The Australian did not accompany the RCB squad to Mohali for their previous game.
Meanwhile, Hazlewood was seen training ahead of the game against RCB and is expected to play in the team’s home game against Rajasthan.
Another possible change for the hosts is that England’s David Willey will replace South Africa’s, Wayne Parnell. Aside from that, given his rib injury, captain Faf du Plesis’ inclusion in the starting XI would be a critical decision for the management.
So far, the Rajasthan Royals have not fully utilized Jason Holder. If the afternoon sun dries out the pitch, Adam Zampa could make an appearance. If they decide to bat first, they can postpone the decision until the end of the innings by starting with three foreign players.
