Kolkata Knight Riders: After a fantastic comeback in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, they will have a lot of a confidence. Eoin Morgan is leading the team very well. Openers need to perform really well in this match to secure a victory against RCB. KKR needs Andre Russell to get back to form. With Lockie Ferguson in the XI, pressure on Pat Cummins will be low. He was bowling economical, but not taking wicket. 

 

Royal Challengers Bangalore: Virat Kohli led RCB are batting well. Openers need to Up the Ante. Virat Kohli and Ab De Villiers are batting really well. Their Death Bowling has been amazing.
