Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers have got the ball rolling for their campaign and would look to gain 2 points from this fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders. Royal Challengers Bangalore after their initial losses have now looked a team who has lot of self-belief.

Though Royal Challengers Bangalore had a big win against the table toppers, Rajasthan Royals in their last game, the team still struggles beyond Virat, Faf and Maxwell.

After the first ball dismissal of Virat Kohli, Faf Du Plessis stitched up a great partnership with Glen Maxwell to propel the team to a winning total. They however have to be worried on the batting middle order which has failed in almost all matches.

The match will be remembered for the Big Show – Glen Maxwell. Glen Maxwell hit 4 sixes and 6 fours for his 44 ball 77 Runs which not only helped the team back on its feet after the initial Virat Kohli wicket but also helped maintain a healthy strike rate.

Faf Du Plessis the captain yet again played the role and a scored a quick fire 62 of 39 balls with 8 fours and 2 sixes

Virat Kohli has been hot and cold in this tournament and have not been the consistent player he is known for. Expect a big score from the ex -Indian Skipper.

Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders had a tough match against the Chennai Super Kings when the team from the south went hell for leather against the Kolkata Knight Rider bowlers.

Knight Riders had to chase a mammoth total of 236 Runs. Knight Riders succumbed to the pressure of a big total.

Barring Suyash Sharma, all 6 bowlers used by Kolkata Knight Riders went for more than 10 runs average and none of the bowlers were able to take wickets in regular intervals to stub the run flow

An Injured Jason Roy and the inform Rinku Singh did give a good fight but their efforts were in vain due to the dominance of the Chennai slowball bowlers.

Kolkata Knight Riders may find the Chinnaswamy stadium to their liking while batting as the dimensions of the stadium is small and the big hitters of Kolkata Knight Riders can play their shorts in the true Bangalore wicket.

Andre Russel has been having a quite tournament and he needs to perform before it is too late to crawl back to the top 4 which looks highly unlikely at the moment

Venkatesh Iyer who hit a magnificent century two games back has again shown his inconsistency in big matches. Bangalore may suite his style of play and we can expect some big scores in this match

Kolkata Knight Riders Bowling need to make a strong comeback after their rubbing against the Chennai Super Kings. On Paper, they do have a stronger bowling line-up and needs to deliver.
