KKR vs RR, Brabourne Stadium. Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders lost two of their last three matches. RR looks stronger than KKR on paper and by the stats as well. KKR is yet to register a win at the Brabourne, and they lost all four matches played here. There are exciting matchups between the batters and bowlers of these two teams. The two major clashes are Buttler against Chakravarthy and Narine; and Samson against Umesh and Narine.

Sunil Narine will be the trump card bowler for KKR against in-form Buttler and Samson. Narine dismissed both the batters three times each in the T20s! Shivam Mavi will likely replace Aman Khan. Mavi is the highest wicket-taker when these two sides play. Mavi troubled Samson a lot and dismissed him four times! In between these battles, Padikkal and Hetmyer become more critical as batters for RR. Shreyas Iyer will be the backbone of the KKR's batting, and no bowlers of RR dismissed him except Riyan Parag.

It is not yet clear whether Trent Boult will be available or not. If not, it will be a loss for RR because Boult trouble almost all the batters of KKR. No other bowler is better in the powerplay than Boult right now. While Buttler and Samson have weak records against RR bowlers, the middle-order will be needed to score big totals for RR.
