Chinnaswamy Stadium is all set to host the RCB vs KKR IPL 2024 match on Friday, March 29. The match starts at 7:30 pm IST and is the second consecutive home match for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Kolkata Knight Riders play their next three matches away from home and begin with the match against RCB. Over the years, they have had a good head-to-head tally against RCB. They lead the head-to-head count 18-14.
The Knight Riders have won their last four of the five games against RCB. They won both of their games last season. Heading into this game, they won their previous game against Sunrise Hyderabad. In a way, they were lucky to win the match against KKR. The game was out of reach. However, Harshit Rana kept a cool head to win the match.
Mitchell Starc scored 51 in his four overs against SRH and remained wicketless. He needs to come back and play a good game for KKR against RCB. There will be pressure for him to live up to the high price tag on his shoulders and Starc needs to step up.
RCB, after losing their season opener against CSK, came back to win with a resounding victory against Punjab Kings. The batsmen chased 177 for the win with Virat Kohli leading the way with 77 off 49 balls. He looked sublime in the match against Punjab Kings, which is an ominous sign for KKR. Dines Karthik and Mahipal produced the final act to win the match for the Bengaluru franchise. Karthik likes to play against KKR and has a strike rate of 132.33.
