Kolkata Knight Riders won the last match but will now face Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB may have lost the first match but they are very dangerous at home. In the last match, RCB defeated Punjab Kings by four wickets while KKR defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by four runs.
Focus will again be on Virat Kohli
The RCB camp might have heaved a sigh of relief after star batsman Virat Kohli’s half-century while chasing the target of 177 runs against Punjab.Good innings are expected from captain Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green and Rajat Patidar. Dinesh Karthik’s experience and ‘impact player’ Mahipal Lomror’s useful innings came in handy in the last moments against Punjab.
