RCB
RCB have played 2 matches, winning 1 and losing 1. They went down to the Chennai Super Kings by 6 wickets in Match 1, but beat the Punjab Kings by 4 wickets in their last match. The Punjab Kings batted first, scoring 176 for 6 off their 20 overs and for RCB, Mohammed Siraj took 2 for 26 in his 4 overs.
The Challengers chased down the runs with 4 balls to spare on the back of a superb 77 off 49 balls by Virat Kohli who picked up the Player of the Match award.
KKR
The Kolkata Knight Riders have only played 1 match and that was Match 3 against the Sunrisers Hyderabad where they won by 4 runs. Batting first KKR set an imposing total of 207 for 8 in their 20 overs with Russell scoring 64 not out off 25 balls. It was always going to be a tough ask for Hyderabad, but they came close, reaching 204 for 7 in their 20 overs, Harshit Rana was the pick of the KKR bowlers with 3 for 33 in his 4 overs and Andre Russell deservedly picked up the Player of the Match award for his innings which altered the course of the game.
Head-to-Head
These sides have met 32 times with RCB winning 14 and KKR 18. In 2023 KKR did the double winning by 81 runs and 21 runs respectively.

RCB 17/20
KKR 1/1
Suggested Bet: Phil Salt Total Runs Under 21.5 at 17/20
Although Salt looked in decent touch in his last match, we saw in the SA 20 that he is very much a hit and miss player and he tends to get chances at the top of the innings.
Suggested Bet: RCB race to 10 runs, Kohli v du Plessis, Kohli at 19/20
I have never taken this bet before, but I am looking to oppose Faf du Plessis who hasn’t looked in good form for some time. I am surprised to be getting level odds about him and Kohli winning the race to 10 runs and punters should note that the tie is also quoted here at 14/1 and that would pay out if neither of them reaches 10 runs.
