Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Match Prediction: Who Will Win Today’s IPL Match Between RR And KKR? IPL 2022, Match 30, RR vs KKR. The 30th  Match of Tata IPL 2022 will see Rajasthan Royals facing off against Kolkata Knight Riders. The RR vs KKR Match will take place on April 18 (Friday) at  Brabourne CCI, Mumbai. Match will start at 07:30 PM(IST).

Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders will be eager to get a move on in the IPL 2022 points table with a win when they face each other on Monday (April 18). Both RR and KKR have 6 points each and right now they are battling the mid-tournament log jam and would require a solid run to keep their play-off berth hopes intact.

Kolkata Knight Riders have lost two matches in a row. Venkatesh Iyer, their star in the UAE leg of IPL 2021, is having a jaded IPL 2022 and they need some runs from him. Similarly, the KKR doesn’t have a solid wicketkeeper-batsman too as Sheldon Jackson and Sam Billings have not contributed much with the bat.

Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) sustained a defeat in its last encounter against Gujarat Titans. RR’s middle order was utterly exposed by Gujarat’s bowlers and defeated them by 37 runs.  Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have also been beaten twice in its last two matches. Shreyas Iyer-led KKR hasn’t been able to keep their performance high as they did during the start of the tournament.

KKR will have to sort out its opening issue. They have tried to go with Ajinkya Rahane, which didn’t work for them. Aaron Finch replaced him, however, his inconsistency would be another issue to tackle. Venkatesh Iyer, on the other side, is also not looking in good touch so far.

Inconsistency with the bat and poor bowling has plagued the Kolkata Knight Riders. Their bowling attack has been torn apart in the last two games. They will have to put all that behind them and come up with a better performance in this game to win it. Rajasthan Royals have their batting line-up in good form and this would put them slightly ahead of the KKR in this game.

They are a well-matched team but the Kolkata Knight Riders are slowly getting slowed down as the lack of a solid opener and wicketkeeper-batsman is hurting them. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals have their own weaknesses but look like a slightly more balanced outfit.
