KKR VS RCB: Royal Challengers Bangalore will be up against Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday in the 35th match of Indian Premier League. Having won just one game in eight matches so far, RCB are seemingly out of the contention from the playoffs.
Whereas, KKR, on the other hand, are also not very well placed either, having won four out of total eight matches they have played in the tournament so far. Kolkata have lost their last three matches as they will look to end their losing streak when they will face Royal Challengers Bangalore on Friday.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
KKR VS RCB: Despite languishing at the bottom of the points table, RCB have given a much better performance in their last two matches. Virat Kohli is in a good form, AB De Villiers has seemingly found his lost touch. In addition to that, English all-rounder Moeen Ali also played a fine half-century as all three will be key players for RCB in the clash against KKR. South African seamer Dale Steyn will also be available for selection as either one from Navdeep Saini or Mohammad Siraj is likely to make way for Steyn.
Kolkata Knight Riders
KKR VS RCB: Having registered three straight losses, KKR will have to tighten their screws to turn their fortunes around. Andre Russel will once again be their biggest bet, along with Chris Lynn who loves to bat at Eden Gardens.
Apart from the duo, the onus will also fall on Robin Uthappa for taking his team over the line in the next clash against RCB.
