Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are top picks for RCB vs KKR.

Team Preview

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)

After finishing at the last spot of Points Table in the previous edition, RCB made an excellent comeback in this season. With four wins in six encounters, they are well placed amongst the top four teams. Moreover, they won their last game too against MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings.

The arrival of Chris Morris provided even more depth to their bowling attack as the South African pacer took three wickets against CSK. After finding their balanced side against the Chennai-based franchise, Bangalore is expected to take the field with the same playing XI.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Dinesh Karthik has impressed all with leadership skills so far in IPL 2020. With similar performance like their opponents, KKR occupies the third spot at the Points Table. Karthik also found his lost touch with the bat in their last game against Kings XI Punjab. 

KKR suffered a massive blow after Andre Russell injured his knee while fielding at the boundaries. Moreover, star spinner Sunil Narine also got reported for an illegal bowling action. He’s given a warning as of now and will be banned from bowling if again violates the laws.
