KKR vs RCB 36th Match Preview
The 36th match of IPL 2024 features the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) locking horns with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Eden Gardens on April 21st.
KKR Seeking Redemption After Heartbreaking Loss
KKR will be looking to bounce back after a heart-wrenching defeat in their last encounter against the Rajasthan Royals. They fell short by just two wickets despite posting a strong total of 223. Openers Sunil Narine (100) and Phil Salt (78) starred with the bat, while the bowling attack lacked bite at the death.
RCB Desperately Needing a Turnaround
RCB, on the other hand, come into the match in a dire situation. They are languishing at the bottom of the points table with just one win from seven matches. Their batting, apart from Virat Kohli (361 runs), has been inconsistent, and the bowling has lacked penetration.
Head-to-Head in IPL
Both teams have faced each other in 34 matches to date. The Knight Riders have been the dominant side with 20 wins, compared to 14 for RCB.
Key Players to Watch
- KKR: Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Mitchell Starc
- RCB: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Wanindu Hasaranga
KKR vs RCB Pitch Report
The Eden Gardens has already hosted a couple of high-scoring matches this season and has seen an average first-inning score of around 200, and that too hasn’t been enough at times. The team batting first will aim for at least 225-250 runs to give the bowlers a good chance at defending. The latter will have very little margin for error and will have to bowl an accurate line and length.
KKR vs RCB Weather Report
The weather is expected to be hot with temperatures of over 35 degrees, with plenty of sunshine.
