THE PREDICTION
Whilst RCB have seen plenty of upheaval within their overseas ranks, the key men of Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers both remain among the squad and the latter in particular looks in ominous form having smashed a century in a practice match leading into this encounter. Kohli, de Villiers and Maxwell represent a world class batting trio, who will likely play a key role in this match alongside a potential future star on Indian cricket in Devdutt Padikkal. KKR have disappointed in the tournament so far and things don’t look like changing come the IPL’s restart with Cummins a big loss to their side. They don’t appear to have the depth within their starting line-up that RCB do and their well-balanced unit led by Kohli has the perfect mix of youth exuberance and big match experience. It would be a surprise if RCB were not to come out on top in this one.
