IPL 2023: KKR vs RCB – Fantasy Dream11 Team Predictions | Match 09

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR

Kolkata Knight Riders was like a deer in headlights and looked clueless against Punjab Kings. They suffered a 7-run loss as per DLS.KKR will be looking to make a comeback in their second game against RCB on April 6. Kolkata Knight Riders will bring in Venkatesh Iyer in the playing 11 as he looked the most comfortable in the last game. The southpaw scored a good knock of 34 runs. Lockie Ferguson will be available for the next game which will. bring strength to their bowling unit. KKR will be desperate to get Andre Russell in form as he is the go-to man in the team. Another blow to KKR is the non-availability of the two Bangladesh, Litton Das and Shakib Al Hassan. With an injury scare, Andre Russell may be not 100%.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB

The team under Faf Du Plessis began their IPL campaign with an impressive 8-wicket win. Reece Topley, the English fast bowler, has been ruled out with a dislocated shoulder and this leaves the bowling unit weaker. RCB has been struggling with injuries topley being the latest in the list. Josh Hazelwood will miss the first half of the tournament . Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar has been ruled out of the tournament due to injuries. The absence of Topley and Hazlewood is a significant setback for RCB. Wanindu Hasaranga absence will be missed in the middleorder both while batting and bowling. RCB may struggle to take wickets and this means they will over rely on their batting which may prove risky.

KKR having lost their first match, will want to make amends and want to put the team on the points table. Injuries have plagued both the teams but with Maxwell back in team has given the needed balance. Bowling is the weaker suit for RCB and they too will rely on batting the opposition out of the game.
