Who will win RCB vs KKR?
Expect the temper to flare as Gautam Gambhir is back with KKR and he has a history with RCB. It will make the contest even more interesting. Kolkata Knight Riders had a solid display with the bat in their opening game but they would seek more consistency with the bowl under pressure. On the other hand, there are still many issues in the batting for the RCB despite winning the last game. They need to sort out their batting order and also need to be tighter with the ball against the power-packed KKR batting.
The recent form alongside the numbers against each other tilts the balance more in the KKR’s favour at the moment. Furthermore, KKR are looking more balanced and complete in both batting and bowling than RCB at the moment. Kolkata Knight Riders are expected to win this game and keep their dominance at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium intact.
