IPL 2023: KKR vs RCB match prediction and preview
KKR vs RCB-IPL 2023: The Kolkata Knight Riders will host the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 9th math of the Indian Premier League 2023 season at their home ground, the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata. Lost their previous match against Punjab Kings, in what turned out to be a rain-affected game. Bangalore, on the other hand, strikes an ecstatic win over Mumbai Indians. The teams would now be aiming to grab early victories to stay at a comfortable position on the points table.
In the case of KKR, no play was possible after the 16th over of its chase and Punjab won the contest by seven runs (DLS method). The team is without the services of their regular skipper Shreyas Iyer and hence would be looking to strengthen their middle order to fill the gap.
In RCB, the bowlers did a good job by keeping the opposition batters in check. Also, skipper Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli’s top batting skills outsmarted the Mumbai Indians. The team would look to continue the same form. RCB suffered a huge blow in the previous match as Reece Topley injured his shoulder and dislocated it after a terrible landing while fielding. Hence, the England pacer will miss the upcoming contest against KKR.
