Kolkata Knight Riders Team News
The Knight Riders will be hoping to bounce back from their recent losses.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Form
The Royal Challengers suffered their fifth straight loss when the Sunrisers beat them by 25 runs.
The Sunrisers broke their own record for the highest score in an IPL innings, finishing on 287/3. Lockie Ferguson (2/52) enjoyed the most success with the ball for the Knight Riders.
Virat Kohli (42 off 20 balls) and Faf du Plessis (62 off 28 balls) got the innings off to a great start, and Dinesh Karthik (83 off 35 balls) hit seven sixes as he tried to keep his side in the game, but the asking rate was just too much and they ended on 262/7 off their 20 overs.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Team News
The Challengers batters and bowlers are all starting to perform… but they need to start picking wins urgently as the gap between them and the playoff places is widening each match.
Verdict
I am backing Kolkata Knight Riders to win. I am also backing Sunil Narine to top score for Kolkata Knight Riders.
Virat Kohli is a good bet to top score for the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
