Rajasthan Royals have had a dream start to IPL 2026, winning all three of their matches to sit at the top of the points table.

Yashasvi Jaiswal top-scored with an unbeaten 77 off 32 balls, while Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continued his explosive form with 39 off just 14 balls.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have also been in outstanding touch, winning both their matches convincingly. In their last game against Chennai Super Kings, RCB piled up a massive 250 for 3, with Tim David smashing an unbeaten 70 off just 25 balls, including eight sixes. RCB then restricted CSK to 207, winning by 43 runs. Their bowling has also been sharp, with Jacob Duffy and Bhuvneshwar Kumar picking up 9 wickets between them across two games.

RR vs RCB Pitch Report — Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati
Barsapara is a batting-friendly ground with short boundaries and a fast outfield, and scores of 190–200 are very much on the cards here. However, the surface has shown two sides this season — in the RR vs CSK game, the ball gripped and CSK were bowled out for 127, showing pacers can dominate when conditions suit. Spinners get some use in the middle overs but are not a major factor here.
- Average 1st innings score: 175–190
- Best suited for: Top-order batters and death-over finishers
- Pace support: New-ball swing and cutters in the powerplay
- Spin support: Some grip in middle overs, but dew neutralises spin late
- Toss trend: Bowl first is the strong call — chasing team wins 65% of matches here
Guwahati Weather Report
- Condition: Partly cloudy, warm and humid evening
- Temperature: ~26°C at match time
- Humidity: High — around 85% expected by evening
- Rain Risk: Low-Moderate — 35% precipitation chance on April 10. Brief interruptions possible but a full match is likely
- Dew Factor: Heavy — dew will set in strongly under lights, making batting second significantly easier and bowlers — especially spinners — very hard to control
- Fantasy tip: Back the chasing side’s batters and death bowlers heavily. Dew is going to be a major factor in this game.

- Yashasvi Jaiswal is the safest SL captain — 170 runs, two fifties, and almost guaranteed to give you points every game
- Dhruv Jurel is the most underrated pick — 95 runs at 175+ strike rate plus keeping points make him a value gem
- Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is GL-only — either blazes 25–50 in 10 balls or falls cheaply. Pure high-risk, high-reward
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a must-pick bowler — 20 wickets against RR makes him the most reliable bowling pick from RCB
- Ravi Bishnoi must be in your team — Purple Cap, 7 wickets in 3 games, no debate
- Watch the toss closely. If RCB win the toss and chase, upgrade their top-order batters and Tim David. If RR chase, go heavy on Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi
RR vs RCB Dream11 Prediction
RR offer safer, consistent fantasy value through their top two openers, while RCB have match-winners spread across all eleven positions. On a dew-affected pitch, this is a batter-heavy game where top-order runs and death-over fireworks will dominate. A balanced team of 5–6 batters from both sides, two all-rounders, and three proven bowlers gives you the best shot.
