IPL 2020: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals fantasy 11 predictions: Top Dream11 picks for KKR vs RR
The 54th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will take place between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). The two sides will lock horns at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on November 1 (Sunday) from 7:30 PM (IST) onwards. KKR clinched the last encounter that took place between these two sides at the same ground.
This game is a must-win affair for both the sides as the losing team will be out from the contention of making it to the playoffs. On the other hand, the winner will keep their hopes alive to reach the knockouts. Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are top picks for KKR vs RR.
Team Preview
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
With six wins in 13 matches, the Eoin Morgan-led side holds the sixth spot in the Points Table. Moreover, they suffered consecutive losses in their last two games against Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings.
The mid-season change in the captaincy didn’t work for the Knight Riders as they have won only two out of their six matches since then. KKR made several changes in their playing XI during the last game. It would be interesting to see their lineup in this do-or-die encounter.
Rajasthan Royals (RR)
At one stage in the tournament, Rajasthan Royals nearly got eliminated from the race for playoffs in IPL 2020. But with the help of late heroics from their players, Steve Smith and co still look hopeful of reaching the next stage if they win this clash.
Moreover, the Royals registered comprehensive victories in their last two matches against Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab. Continuing with their winning combination, RR might take the same field in this game as well.
