THE LOWDOWN
KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS
- It has been an extremely disappointing season for Kolkata Knight Riders so far, who have lost six of their nine matches played, including each of their last five.
- Kolkata’s most recent defeat came at the hands of Delhi Capitals by a margin of four wickets, despite the efforts of Nitesh Rana with the bat and Umesh Yadav with the ball.
RAJASTHAN ROYALS
- Rajasthan Royals were the side to finally hand Mumbai Indians their first victory of the 2022 IPL after Sanju Samson’s men were beaten by four wickets this past weekend, only their third loss of the competition.
- Jos Buttler continued his sensational form with 67 but was afforded a lack of support by his fellow batters, whilst Daryl Mitchell is unlikely to be retained in the starting line-up after his only over against Mumbai went for 20 runs.
THE PREDICTION
Whilst Rajasthan Royals will have been extremely disappointed to have lost against a winless Mumbai, this side has far too much experience to let it affect them for long and a strong performance is expected from the Royals here as they bid to bounce back. Kolkata Knight Riders have hugely disappointed of late and their inconsistent top order is likely to struggle against a quality Rajasthan bowling line-up. With that in mind, consider backing Rajasthan Royals to overcome KKR in this one.
