Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Prediction & Betting Tips - Indian Premier League |
by Devesh Jaganath | in Indian Premier League Prediction
Match 36 in the 2024 Indian Premier League will see the Kolkata Knight Riders playing host to the Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday afternoon. The hosts are currently in second place in the league standings, while the visitors are bottom of the log. The Knight Riders have made a positive start to the tournament. They are currently on eight points after six games, four points behind Rajasthan Royals, and with a very healthy net run rate of +1.399. However, they do come into this one off the back of a loss against the Royals in a match that went down to the very final ball. That was the second loss KKR have conceded in the competition while managing wins over the Super Giants, Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers and Sunrisers. Sunil Narine has emerged as KKR’s top contributor with the bat following his 109-run knock against the Royals. He is currently fourth in the race for the orange cap with 276 runs in six innings. The hosts have won the last three matches against this opponent and are the favourites in this one.
Meanwhile, the 2024 IPL campaign has been something of a nightmare for the Royal Challengers Bangalore so far. After seven matches, they are rooted to the bottom of the table and are the only side that has managed just one win in the competition. That victory came against the Punjab Kings at the end of last month, and since then, they have been beaten five in a row by this opponent, Super Giants, Royals, Mumbai Indians, and most recently, Sunrisers Hyderabad. The only real positive that can be picked out about their performances this season has been the form of Virat Kohli. The former RCB skipper currently wears the orange cap with 361 runs in his seven innings and holds the highest individual score in the competition of 113*. The visitors were beaten by seven wickets by this opponent at home last month and could be in for another big loss unless they can find some much-needed improvement.
