Teams Preview –

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview :

During the competition, Faf du Plessis and his team mounted a formidable comeback. They overcame a 4 wicket deficit against the Punjab Kings to win the season after they had lost the first game. They helped the side feel confidence since they batted well in a challenging run chase. Du Plessis wants to take advantage of their home advantage and move up the points table because they have a strong record there.

With du Plessis, Virat Kohli will want to provide an explosive start. In the game-winning knock against the Punjab Kings, he looked at his best. They anticipate runs from Glenn Maxwell, Rajat Patidar, and Cameroon Green because the middle order has struggled in both games. Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik, and Anuj Rawat are in good form and strengthen RCB’s batting.  

With the fresh ball, the team will be hoping that Muhammad Siraj and Yash Dayal can build on their strong performance in the last match. The middle overs have been problematic, so Alzarri Joseph and Cameron Green, two seasoned players, need to find their form against the KKR power hitters. In the supporting role, Maxwell and Mayank Dagar will need to bowl effectively.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Predicted Playing XI:

Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Anuj Rawat (wk), Dinesh Karthik, Alzarri Joseph, Mohammed Siraj, Mayank Dagar, Yash Dayal, Mahipal Lomror (Impact Player)

Kolkata Knight Riders Preview :

In an exciting match, Shreyas Iyer’s squad defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by a margin of 4 runs. The KKR bottom middle order shifted the tide of the most intriguing match of the season. Iyer is hoping for a stronger showing from his bowlers, who appeared off during their opening encounter.

The side will be hoping for a strong start from Philip Salt and Sunil Narine as he appears to be in fantastic form. The middle order struggled in the previous game, thus Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer, and Nitish Rana need to do well against the Royals. The side is more confident since Ramandeep Singh, Rinku Singh, and Andre Russell appear to be in excellent shape.

The past game saw Mitchell Starc and Harshit Rana bowl badly, and they can least afford that against a potent batting order. His confidence will come from Sunil Narine’s performance in the previous game. In the middle overs, he needs to verify Varun Chakaravarthy’s scoring rate. Suyash Sharma in the supporting part and Andre Russell in the lead role will be crucial for the team.

Kolkata Knight Riders Predicted Playing XI:

Shreyas Iyer (c), Philip Salt (wk), Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Nitish Rana, Ramandeep Singh, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, Mitchell Starc, Varun Chakaravarthy, Suyash Sharma (Impact Player)

Pitch & Weather Conditions:

Weather :

We anticipate partly cloudy skies over Bengaluru. With the ball coming onto the bat smoothly and enabling batsmen to play their strokes, the surface appeared to be decent to bat on. For bowlers to perform successfully, their lines must be perfect. The team going after the ball would hope to score 200 runs.

Pitch Report:

There is no finer location for batsmen than this one. The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has a flat surface, quick outfield, and short boundaries. There’s nothing in it for the quick bowlers on this surface, and the ball comes onto the bat wonderfully. This place is a problem for the spinners as well because of the shorter borders.

Toss: To Ball

In the last game, the pitch was decent for batting, but it won’t be simple to defend a score. Both captains will be thinking about the great run chases that have occurred at this location in the past. After winning the toss, the winning team would aim to bowl first and limit the opposition to a modest total.
