Pre-Match Analysis:
After receiving an away thrashing against Chennai Super Kings in the tournament opener, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru contingent wore a smile on their faces when they pulled off an edge-of-a-seat thrilling win over visiting Punjab Kings by 4 wickets on Monday. On a sticky wicket, the bowlers had their work cut out to restrict Shikhar Dhawan and his men to 176 on the board with Mohammed Siraj and Glenn Maxwell bagging the crucial scalps. In response, Virat Kohli laid the foundation with a stunning 77 from 49 balls before seasoned Dinesh Karthik (28*) and impact substitute Mahipal Lomror (17*) finished things in a grand style with 4 balls to spare. They have an upcoming big task in their hands as they face Knight Riders who have a better track record at Bengaluru. RCB’s overseas stars Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, and Alzarri Joseph are yet to make a huge impact.
Kolkata Knight Riders pulled off a greatest escape in their first outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad to win the contest by a narrow 4-run margin. Harshit Rana swung the game in favor of the home side as he successfully defended 13 runs in the final over. More importantly, he picked up the wickets of dangerous duo Heinrich Klaasen and Shahbaz Ahmed. Earlier Phil Salt’s timely half-century and Andre Russell’s ruthless hitting at the closing stages got them well past the 200-run mark. There are some concerns with Mitchell Starc the most expensive player in the IPL history with a price tag of Rs 24.75 crore didn’t justify his whopping amount as he went at 13.25 runs per over. Their Indian core consisting of Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, and skipper Shreyas Iyer departed with single-digit scores. With mind mind-blowing track record at Chinnaswamy Stadium, they will start as favorites for this match.
