THE LOWDOWN
ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE
- Royal Challengers Bangalore will become the third side this IPL season to hit the ten-point-mark if they were to defeat Kolkata Knight Riders, having won their last two games on the spin.
- Key to their recent success has been the form of their gun hitters such as captain and opener Faf du Plessis alongside Virat Kohli with Glenn Maxwell also smashing it down the order.
KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS
- Kolkata Knight Riders have reason to be extremely worried after their losing streak was extended to four matches over the weekend following defeat at the hands of Chennai Super Kings.
- Yet again, the KKR bowlers were smashed to all parts of the ground, conceding a second score of over 220 across the tournament so far and the RCB batters will be confident of inflicting the same punishment should they be batting first.
THE PREDICTION
On a ground like M.Chinnaswamy Stadium with small boundaries and a flat pitch, everything looks set for another run-fest from an RCB perspective. The struggling KKR bowlers should prove no match for the international quality within the home side’s top order and a mixture of both injuries and poor form is crippling Kolkata’s campaign. Any outcome other than victory for Royal Challengers Bangalore in this one would be seen as a surprise.
