Against LSG and today against RCB, Rajasthan have the same pattern of failure. In the first 10 overs, only 2 wickets will be lost and the required run rate will be untouchable. Trunks will fall in 10-15 overs.
The team that has such a collapse must first score as much as possible above the required run rate. It should be understood beforehand that required run rate = net run rate in the first 10 overs does not mean that runs should fall at the same run rate in the later overs. To solve that a definite dominance should be established above the required run rate.
That is where Rajasthan goes wrong. Not even one place can be dominated in the chase. Don’t leave it to the last beat. Despite scoring very few runs in the first 10 overs against GT, the win was due to Sanju’s smashing hits in overs 10-14. That middle order dominance is no longer there in the chase.
It looks like they will win in 10 overs, and by the 16 overs they will be incredibly behind. Without a good run flow in 10-14 overs, Rajasthan are likely to win the chase.
