KKR’s recent defeats have come against the early pace setters Rajasthan Royals and last year’s Champions Chennai Super Kings. RCB currently has no teams below them in the league, and their bowling unit’s confidence is particularly low, as evidenced by all of their bowlers recording economy rates ranging from 10.66 to 18.00 in their most recent match.

RCB vs KKR Pitch Report

The field at the Kolkata will be flat, with little help available. The spinners get odd balls to grip and turn, but the ground is very small, and even mishits go over the ropes, so bowlers have very little control here.

RCB vs KKR Weather Report

Bangalore is experiencing a dry spell, so rain is not a concern. The temperature will range between 35 and 21 degrees, with a humidity of around 30%.

Topmost Picks for RCB vs KKR Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Royal Challengers Bengaluru

• Virat Kohli- Virat Kohli has carried RCB’s batting on his shoulders. He has been magnificent and currently holds the orange cap with 319 runs in six games, including a century and two fifties.
• Reece Topley- the tall English left-arm pace bowler was very expensive against Sunrisers Hyderabad but still got the first wicket of the evening when he dismissed Abhishek Sharma.

Top Picks – Kolkata Knight Riders

• Sunil Narine- the 35 year old all-rounder not only hit a century but also took 2/30 with the ball. He is having an exceptional IPL 2024 season.
• Harshit Rana- the 22 year old right-arm fast bowler took 2/45 in the last game at this venue but also has taken 3/33 against Sunrisers here earlier in this tournament.

RCB vs KKR Probable Winners:

KKR are the favourites to win. They are a more balanced team than RCB. The majority of KKR batters are in excellent form, and their bowling has been particularly impressive, with Cummins and Bhuvneshwar Kumar performing admirably in recent games. RCB has lost their last four games and has a poor bowling attack. It will be difficult for RCB to stop KKR at the small Chinnaswamy Stadium, so KKR should be backed to win. Considering the team combination, Kolkata Knight Riders are expected to win this match.
