Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) take on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Match 16 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2016 at Pune on Friday. Both RPS and RCB are coming off the back of two consecutive defeats and will be keen to register a win in this match. As a result, both teams have just two points from three matches. They will have to get a move on in the early stages of the tournament, if they are to make it to the final four. RPS and RCB have a good and competitive batting line-up but it is their bowlers, who have often let them down. RCB out up daunting totals against Delhi Daredevil’s (DD) and Mumbai Indians (MI), but some ordinary bowling let them down on both occasions. As many as six changes were made by RCB in their previous match against MI.Live Cricket Updates Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) IPL 2016
