KKR vs RR Today Match Prediction and Betting Odds | Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals IPL 2019
Kolkata Knight Riders will aim to save their faltering campaign when they meet Rajasthan Royals for the upcoming encounter in Eden Gardens. Kolkata Knight Riders will fight to salvage their pride when they host the Rajasthan Royals who are returning off a defeat against the Delhi Capitals in the previous match. For Rajasthan Royals too, it is doing to be a do-or-die match as a win in this match would keep their chances of reaching to the playoffs alive while a loss would push them backwards.
A dip in form, a matter of concern for the KKR
Dinesh Karthik has faced some severe backlash for the underperformance. Kolkata Knight Riders started their campaign on a positive note and posted four wins in their five games. However, their performance witnessed a dip and the team is placed on the sixth position with losses in their ten games.
Rajasthan Royals look to up the ante
Ajinkya Rahane blasted a century to take his team to a total of 191 in their allotted overs. Skipper Steve Smith also scored a half-century to stabilize the innings. However, Ajinkya Rahane’s ton went in vain as Pant’s knock helped the Delhi Capitals to claw back into the game and win it. The Rajasthan Royals would collect all the positives from their last game before travelling to Kolkata to take on their opponents.
