Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will hope to return to winning ways on Wednesday when they take on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Match 36 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.
KKR began theseason with two wins from their opening three games, but seem to have lost their way following four successive defeats. Their heaviest defeat came against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday, when they fell short by 49 runs after failing to chase down a mammoth total of 236.
RCB, meanwhile, are on a two-match winning streak having beaten Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
Barring Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell, RCB’s batting department does not look good and would be hoping to improve on that against KKR.
In fact, in their previous game against KKR earlier this season, RCB succumbed to pressure after being bundled out for 123. They were earlier set a target of 205 after fifties from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Shardul Thakur.
Mohammed Siraj has been RCB’s best bowler so far in the tournament and currently leads the Orange Cap standings with 13 wickets to his name.
However, a department where RCB will look to improve is their death bowling. While Siraj has been impactful at the death overs, some others have failed to live upto the expectations.
