KKR vs RR Probable Winners:

Many neutrals are looking forward to this game because the Kolkata Knight Riders have found form in recent weeks while the Rajasthan Royals have forgotten how to win. We expect both teams to hit over 170 and for this to be a close game. Both teams will appear to be on top at different points, but the batting power of the Rajasthan Royals leads us to believe that they will win. Considering the team combination, Rajasthan Royals is expected to win this match.
