Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders Match Prediction, Who Will Win The Match Between RCB and KKR? IPL 2022, Match 06, RCB vs KKR. Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Chennai Super Kings by six wickets in the blockbuster season opener of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.
Chasing 132 for the win, KKR opener Ajinkya Rahane hit a brilliant 44 before skipper Shreyas Iyer scored an unbeaten 20 to steer them past the finish line.
Earlier, pacer Umesh Yadav plucked two early wickets before Varun Chakravarthy and Andre Russell entered the wicket-takers column, leaving CSK tottering at 61/5. But Ravindra Jadeja (26*) and MS Dhoni (50*) did a brilliant job to resurrect Chennai’s innings after early blows. The pair put up 70 to help Chennai post 131/5 in 20 overs.
On the other hand, Punjab Kings beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by five wickets in their Indian Premier League match on Sunday. Punjab Kings chased down a huge target of 206 with six balls to spare in a thrilling high-scoring match.

Following the first few opening thrillers of the Tata IPL 2022 season fifteen, the teams are now ready for their second fixtures. Faf du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is set to face Shreyas Iyer-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on March 30th in the DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai.
The form of Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, and Dinesh Karthik will be a big positive for Royal Challengers Bangalore going ahead in the tournament. However, the franchise will have to look at their death bowling along with fielding.
It would be wrong to judge Kolkata Knight Riders’ batting right now, as they haven’t been exposed to extreme situations. However, on paper KKR batting seems to be good enough to score massive runs.
It’s hard to decide who will win the RCB and KKR rivalry. However, based on the last few years’ data, the RCB squad has a better chance of winning than the KKR team. KKR won 2 matches in 2021, but RCB prevailed in 3 matches including both IPL 2020 fixtures.
