RCB vs KKR : What to expect in tonight’s clash

RCB vs KKR : The race to the playoffs has now shifted gears, and all the teams need to keep up their winning streak to have a shot at the title. Tonight’s contest of RCB vs KKR will be critical for both teams, but especially for KKR as it battles for survival at the lower side of the table. The odds are further stacked against them as they face Banglore at their home ground. But having lost 5 out of the 7 games they have played so far, Kolkata Knight Riders will be rearing to go all out tonight on the back of their star players like Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, and Jason Roy.  

Royal Challengers Banglore, on the other hand, are likely to be led by Virat Kohli for a third consecutive game amid skipper Faf du Plessiss’ rib injury, which is likely to keep him on the bench for a while. Glen Maxwell, Virat Kohli, and Mohammed Siraj have been in excellent form this season and have won games for their team on multiple occasions. Kohli hasn’t been dismissed yet by right-arm pacers, but Sunil Narine has got him four times before. While RCB has an edge over their rivals on paper, KKR can surprise even the best teams on their day.
