Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore: RCB enters this match still baffled about how to turn losses into victories after playing in and losing a game in which 549 runs were scored in their previous appearance!
While the fact that KKR has more batting depth and an opening duo of Phil Salt and Sunil Narine who are both dominating this competition would reassure the RCB bowling attack, KKR actually has more batting depth than Sunrisers Hyderabad.
KKR has suffered defeats to formidable opponents in two of their last three games, but they will undoubtedly fancy their chances against the team in last place in this encounter.
The 36th T20 match between Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore will take place on April 21st, 2024, at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

Preview
Sunil Narine, a 35-year-old from Trinidad and Tobago, has been the team’s most important player thus far this season. He has been teaching his younger teammates how to bat and bowl. He’s still perplexed at how he lost to the Rajasthan Royals despite hitting 109 runs and taking 2/30 with the ball going into this game!
Before this match, KKR had reason to celebrate as their star middle order “finisher,” Rinku Singh, is back to full fitness. Although he has only participated in the competition as a batting impact sub, he should be able to demonstrate his excellent fielding abilities in this match.
Harshit Rana has been bowling quickly with the ball and will be trying to recover from his uncommon outing without a wicket the last time around.

Preview
Cricket media and RCB supporters frequently express their dissatisfaction, but the truth is that Faf du Plessis’ team lacks the depth in their bowling unit to contend at the highest levels of the IPL!
Without a doubt, they have some excellent bowlers in Reece Topley and Lockie Ferguson, the latter of whom claimed two wickets in his most recent IPL game. But good bowlers are insufficient in this new era where hitters know no bounds and no fear.
With just a few games remaining to salvage their season and a bottom-of-the-table position, RCB will once more be dependent on its opening batsmen and keeper, Dinesh Karthik, to try and lead them to victory.
Full Squad:
Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Saurav Chauhan*, Dinesh Karthik, Anuj Rawat, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green*, Suyash Prabhudessai, Mayank Dagar*, Manoj Bhandage, Will Jacks, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Tom Curran*, Swapnil Singh*, Mohammed Siraj, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Reece Topley, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Akash Deep, Alzarri Joseph*, Yash Dayal*, Lockie Ferguson*
Players to watch out for in:
Dinesh Karthik
RCB will once more be dependent on Dinesh Karthik, to try and lead them to victory.
Yash Dayal
The team anticipates a stronger performance from Yash Dayal with the new ball after the bowling attack looked inept in the last game.
Possible Playing XI:
Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, Saurav Chauhan, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Mahipal Lomror, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Reece Topley, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Toss Prediction:
Even though it will be quite hot on the field during the first innings, teams that field first have a far better record at Eden Gardens. Based on this, we anticipate that both captains will prefer to bowl first in this match.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Pitch Report:
The last IPL game at Eden Gardens had 447 runs, so spectators should pack a tin hat, and TV viewers should get ready for a tonne of maximums! The pitch will be fast and have lots of carry and bounce.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Match Report:
Despite losing their past three games to CSK and the Rajasthan Royals, KKR has been playing excellent cricket and is having a great 2024 IPL season. Unfortunately, the same cannot be true for RCB, who are now leading the table and in significant difficulties. We think that KKR will win again on Sunday afternoon.
We predict Kolkata Knight Riders to win the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore match at the odds of 1.62
