KKR vs RR- Prediction, Who Will Win The Match Between Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals? IPL 2021 Match 54. Kolkata Knight Riders take on Rajasthan Royals in the 54th match of IPL 2021 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The last time when these two sides took on each other, Rajasthan Royals won the game by 6 wickets. However, given their current form, it doesn’t look like they will beat KKR again on Thursday.
Rajasthan Royals are currently languishing at the seventh position on the points table with 5 wins in 13 matches. They are coming into the game on the back of a humiliating 8-wicket defeat against Mumbai Indians. They have only one game in the league stage and only a miracle can help them finish in the top four. None of the players made an impact in the last game.
On a slow and sluggish track of Sharjah, RR batsmen succumbed to some great fast bowling display. In 20 overs, all they managed was 90 runs in the first innings. Mumbai Indians had little trouble in chasing down the score.
Rajasthan Royals picked two wickets inside the first six overs but Ishan Kishan’s 25-ball half-century ensured MI chase down the score in just 8.2 overs. Rajasthan Royals should look to forget what happened in the previous game and come with a positive frame of mind.
Facing them are Kolkata Knight Riders, who are in pretty good form. They have exhibited a stellar show in the latter half of the tournament. In 6 games, they emerged victorious on 4 occasions. They ought to win their last league stage match on Thursday to make the playoffs.
Kolkata Knight Riders are coming into this game on the back of a win against Sunrisers Hyderabad. A collective bowling effort from the team helped them restrict the opposition to just 115 runs in the first innings. Shivam Mavi, Southee and Varun Chakravarthy all picked two wickets each.
KKR chased down the score in 19.4 overs. Shubman Gill starred for them with the bat, scoring 57 runs off 51 balls, including 10 fours. Nitish Rana and Dinesh Karthik contributed 25 (33) and 18 (12) respectively.
