RR vs KKR Live Score and Updates: Pitch report by Anjum Chopra
Pitch report by Anjum Chopra: "We are at the centre. Square boundaries 61-62m pretty much equidistant. The straight one is 73m," says Anjum Chopra. Matthew Hayden opines,"We have got a cracking wicket here and I think it's a different looking wicket than the one we had last game. Last year RR got 199 on this pitch and DC couldn't chase it down. I would say batting first. It's really hard and has a better sheen to it. Better preparation (than last game) I feel. It's got a really nice covering of grass and the patches that don't have the grass you can see the sheen so the ball is going to slide on. Better wicket tonight for sure."

RR vs KKR Live Score and Updates: Kolkata Knight Riders (Team News)
For KKR, things have been going smoothly lately. The only match they haven't won this month was abandoned due to rain, and their middle order and spin attack have hit top form at just the right time.
Now, they need to address the wounds from that run-chase by RR at the Eden Gardens, a period when they were at their most vulnerable. But having recovered well and given their current form, the Shreyas Iyer-led side could prove difficult to stop.

Rajasthan Royals, who have nonetheless secured a spot in the Playoffs. A win over Kolkata Knight Riders will guarantee them a top-two finish, assuming they haven't already clinched it by the time the match starts, depending on other results. However, this isn't a comfortable position to be in.
Losing momentum so close to the tournament's crucial phase, especially without a key player like Jos Buttler, who has returned home for international duties but was pivotal in a thrilling victory over KKR earlier this season, must be unsettling.
