Despite cameos from Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers, RCB fell short by 4 runs.

Win Prediction

KOL – 60%
RR – 40%

It could have been a great knockout match, a proper quarter-final. However, it is unlikely RR can make it now considering their net run rate is below par. KKR are peaking at the right time and they have played a lot of games at Sharjah. We expect KKR to win this game and the betting sites seem to agree.

Betting Odds:

Bet365: KOL: 1.57; RR: 2.37

KOL vs RR Dream11 Prediction

The inclusion of Venkatesh Iyer has changed the fortunes of the side in purple and gold. He has 201 runs and 3 wickets in six games for KKR.

Varun Chakravarthy is expected to shine in this game. He will be dangerous against a brittle RR middle order. He has 15 wickets in 13 games at an economy of 6.74.

Evin Lewis has been in good form in recent matches. KKR’s opening bowlers haven’t been in great form especially their pacers. Lewis has 152 runs in six games at a strike rate of 162.
