KKR News
Kolkata is in 6th place in the points table with two points. They have won one & lost one. They lost their last game to MI, after being in a very comfortable position in the game. They won’t go for any unnecessary changes but back them with the same XI. Russell took a fifer in the last game, but batted very badly, which made the game turn around. The form of top 3 batsmen Rana, Gill and Tripathi have been good, while other batsmen need to step up to perform well for the team.

Who will win today IPL match
Kolkata Knight Riders will win this game. They lost the game terribly and will look to bounce back in this one hard. Their batting lineup is very dangerous but has failed to perform to their abilities. Bowling has been decent and will be tough to the Bangalore team. Whereas, RCB, has a solid batting lineup and a better than previous seasons’ bowling, which can take them back to the top. Morgan and Russell will have to do the job, to take their team home in the KKR vs RCB Dream11 Prediction.
