Rajasthan Royals VS Kolkata Knight Riders
Preview:
This is the 18th match of the tournament between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals . Both teams will descend on the Wankhede Stadium in search of their second win. Rajasthan Royals such team whose batting line up is much better but so far only 4 matches have won 1 match.
Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Sammons was in a good start in May but his bats did not get any special runs from the last few matches. Rajasthan Royal has recorded only one win in this tournament so far and with that it is at the bottom of the points table. Rajasthan’s all rounders Rahul Tewatia and Chris Morris perform better for their team in bowling and batting field. If Chetan is an active young bowler of bowling, and has performed very well in this tournament, then this guy spread some magic with his bowling on Wankhede Pitch.
As we saw in the last match, the middle order batsmen of Kolkata Knight Riders are in very good form.
Kolkata have all-rounders who have the power to win the team even in delicate conditions such as Andre Russell, Pat Cummins. Now sit for the Kolkata Knight Riders batsmen, Tenth Morgan, Nitish Rana & Shubham, all three batsmen specializes in playing a good partnership. Kolkata Knight Riders have good spinners like Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine who do not allow batsmen to last long on the Wankhede pitch.
Pitch Report:
This is the pitch of Wankhede Stadium for the batting which will definitely help the batsmen . On this pitch, Pace Bowler will get more help than the Spin bowler. As we know that both teams have better Pace bowlers such as Chetan Sakariya, Prashid Krishna. These Pace bowlers will help more on this pitch . Whichever team wins the toss will decide to bat first because it is easier to bat first than it is to chase. The average score on this pitch is 171 (Based on last 5 Matches), and the first inning average score is 177. There is no chance of rain because of this we will enjoy the match .
