Today Match Prediction for RCB vs KKR: Royal Challengers Bangalore will play their third game against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday. Virat Kohli and Co. couldn’t ask for a better start to the season, having won both the games they have played so far. Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, would be disappointed to lose out on a similar position after suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of Mumbai in their last game.
Royal Challengers Bangalore are doing nothing wrong at the moment. The top three key players in Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell are all in fine touch with the bat. All three have made valuable contributions at different stages of the game. They have found a great guy in Harshal Patel to solve their death over woes. The RCB fast bowler picked a five-wicket haul in his first game against MI. He returned with the figures of 2 for 25 in the next game. The road to the playoffs will become much easier if Patel continues to perform like this in the coming games.
The only problem right now for RCB is ineffective performances from all-rounders such as Daniel Christian and Kyle Jamieson. Given the potential the two guys have, the duo hasn’t done justice to their price tags yet. For your fantasy team, AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Harshal Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal are five valuable picks to have.
Kolkata Knight Riders have won 1 game out of 2 so far in the tournament. While the Indian batsmen at the top have made runs, the star-studded middle-order comprising of Eoin Morgan and Andre Russell are yet to come up with useful knocks for the team. Ahead of the big game against RCB, the duo has to step up the plate and add runs with the bat.
The bowlers did well in the last game to restrict MI to 152 in the last year. Russell picked five, while Cummins picked two wickets. You won’t see any change taking place in that department against RCB. Given how KKR have fared this season, it is ideal to pick more bowlers than their batsmen in your fantasy eleven.
