The contest between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders seems to be an interesting one as they both are placed fifth and sixth respectively. Kolkata Knight Riders have started off very well. However, they are on the back of two losses and will look to bounce back soon. Rajasthan Royals are having up and down ride so far winning 3 matches in five. The team that wins the contest will be back in the top 4.
Brabourne Stadium is suitable for run chases, so the team winning the toss might opt for fielding without any second thoughts. Here’s the probable playing XI of both the teams.
RR: Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson, Rassie van der Dussen, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Riyan Parag, Trent Boult, Kuldeep Sen, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal.
The long tail seems to be the main problem for Rajasthan Royals. So the batters need to be more responsible.
KKR: Aaron Finch, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer, Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Sheldon Jackson, Pat Cummins, Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav, Aman Hakim Khan, Varun Chakravarthy.
Bowling is the main problem for KKR. The bowlers are leaking runs. So, they have to overcome it.
