Google Gemini Gives RCB Edge

As per Google Gemini, RCB has slight edge in the upcoming match. To be precise, Google Gemini is giving them a 53.2 per cent chance to win. This is mainly because of their strong batting power. Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Tim David and Rajat Patidar have been in good form. One reckons it is the RCB middle-order that gives them the slight advantage heading into the game. Rajasthan, on the other hand, will rely heavily on the spin of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravi Bishnoi in the middle overs.
