Match Preview
This coming Sunday, match number 70 of
the Indian Premier League (IPL) will take place at the Barsapara Stadium in
Guwahati. The event will feature the Rajasthan Royals (RR) competing against
the Kolkata Knight Riders.
After securing a spot in the playoffs
with 16 points, the Royals have begun to struggle at the business end of the
campaign, as they have lost four matches in a row. On the other side, KKR (19
points) have already secured a top spot in the standings after a washout
against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad in the previous round earned them one
point. This has allowed them to secure their position as the top team on the
table.
RR vs KKR: Pitch Report
This is the thirteenth venue of the
season, marking the highest number in an Indian Premier League season. With
side limits of 63 metres and 60 metres and a straight boundary measuring 73
metres, this location has historically been a relatively high-scoring event.
The pitch that we are playing on is made of black earth, and it is hard and
rolls really well. "Certainly a surface on which a great number of runs
can be scored," Deep Dasgupta and WV Raman remarked before the match
between RR and PBKS, which was the last match ever played at the stadium and
also the first match ever played there.
In spite of the fact that the pitch
has a few fractures, it normally plays far better than it seems to. In the
previous year, the team that batted first won both of these games. However, in
a match between India and Australia that took place at this venue, Australia
chased a massive score of 222 in the last over. This is something that teams
want to accomplish because, while they are pursuing it, they are under
pressure. They continued by saying, "There are a lot of runs to be had
here, regardless of when you bat on the pitch."
RR chose to bat first in the match, and they ended up scoring 144/9 in 20 overs
(overs). It was the pacers of PBKS who took six wickets, while the pacers
themselves took two wickets. In response, Punjab was able to knock down the
goal in 18.5 overs, losing five wickets in the process. There were three
wickets taken by RR pacers. During the last five Twenty20 matches, the average
total score has been 182 runs. Over the last five years, teams that won the
toss have chosen to bowl first 61 percent of the time.
RR vs KKR Head-To-Head
In the Indian Premier League, Kolkata
and Rajasthan have competed against each other in a total of 29 matches. Over
the course of these 29 matches, Kolkata has been triumphant on 14 occasions,
while Rajasthan has been successful on 14 occasions. In one of the matches,
there was no outcome.
Matches Played: 29
MI Won: 14
LSG Won: 14
No Result: 1
RR vs KKR: Prediction
Should LSG choose to bat after winning
the toss, they should aim for a total of 170-185 runs. We expect the Mumbai
Indians to win this game.
MI is still the favorite to win if
they win the toss and choose to bat, where they should aim to score between 180
and 195 runs.
One team has everything at risk (LSG),
while the other team has nothing else to lose (MI). These two teams are going
to compete against each other.
For LSG, the outcome is either a victory or a loss. With a win, they will have
14 points, which would put them in fourth place at the very least. Lose, and
they will have to wait until next year to earn their first Indian Premier
League championship. The men in blue and gold will compete for no other reason
than to be proud of themselves. The rest of the season has been a complete and
total failure, and they will be hoping that their last league game will provide
their supporters with something compelling to root for.
During this season, Michigan had a record of three wins and three losses at
Wankhede Stadium, which is considered to be an average record. Furthermore, in
the past, LSG has shown a surprising propensity to fail in the most important
games possible. Consequently, it is quite probable that MI will put an end to
LSG's dreams, regardless of how flimsy they may be.

RR vs KKR Winner Prediction
While the Royals must win this match
in order to guarantee a top-two finish, the Knights will be looking to gain
momentum in preparation for the playoffs. Since the Royals are more familiar
with the playing circumstances, it is possible that they will have a little
edge over the other team.
