Pre-Match Analysis:

The middle-order batting woes continue for Royal Challengers Bangalore that doesn’t stop them from winning the game against Rajasthan Royals as their bowlers showed an excellent level of skill and discipline which handed them a close 7-run win. This is the 3rd time in a row they have defended the total which shows they are in growing in stature. The overseas stars Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell as usual keeping the side on course with their aggressive and class batting display. Barring the trio of Maxwell, Faf, and Virat no other batter has even crossed the 70 run-mark which shows their fragile middle-order batting line-up. Mohammed Siraj is extending his wicket-taking form and even Harshal Patel is back to his best. Josh Hazlewood has started training and is available for selection.

Kolkata Knight Riders never look settled in most of the matches in this edition of the IPL meaning that they have only 2 wins under their belt from their 7 matches played. They are under the radar and aiming to come out of 4 matches losing streak. They had beaten Royal Challengers by a massive 81 runs earlier in the competition which is the only thing that will cheer them up heading into this contest. They lost their previous home game against Chennai Super Kings by 49 runs despite half-centuries from Jason Roy and Rinku Singh. They are in the 8th spot in the standings with 4 points. Jason Roy has injury issues and is doubtful for this clash.
