RR vs KKR Probable Winners:

Rajasthan Royals have lost four consecutive games, which is surprising given their strong team. The Royals have already played in Guwahati, and their familiarity with the conditions should be a significant advantage for RR ahead of the game against KKR. The match is between two equal teams, with little to choose in terms of which team is better on paper. We predict RR to win the game. Considering the team combination, Rajasthan Royals are expected to win this match.
