"After wins in their first two games the Royals have lost their way and they were humiliated last time out against Kolkata"

Two sides stuck in a rut clash on Tuesday and Ed Hawkins says it should be a your choice affair

Bangalore
Tillakaratne Dilshan, the World Cup top bat, is suffering a hangover and his place could be in jeopardy. Virat Kohli and Saurabh Tiwary are both capable of opening, allowing the Challengers to bring in more foreign firepower with the ball, namely Dirk Nannes.

Rajasthan
After wins in their first two games the Royals have lost their way and they were humiliated last time out against Kolkata. Rahul Dravid and Johan Botha both missed that game with injury and could return. But they need to sort out their batting order. Having failed to open with Shane Watson in his first game, they are now batting Ross Taylor at No 6. Odd.

Match odds
We expect to see a reaction from the Royals, who surely can't be as bad again. Bangalore are no great shakes and the price gulf is far from justified. This is a 'pick 'em' affair so we are grateful to get with Shane Warne's side at [2.18]. Generous if they can get the basics right (eg team selection).

Top batsman
This could be Watson's time to shine. He hasn't got going yet and after his record-breaking innings in Bangladesh it surely can't be long before he produces. He can be backed at around [4.00].

Best bet: Rajasthan @ [2.18]
