Both teams have started their campaign with a loss and will be desperate to win the forthcoming game. While KKR lost against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at home, RR suffered a loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The upcoming RR vs KKR match will be played on Wednesday (March 26) at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. The match is scheduled to be played from 07:30 PM IST.
Squads:
Kolkata Knight Riders:
Quinton de Kock(w), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane(c), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy, Spencer Johnson, Vaibhav Arora, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Manish Pandey, Moeen Ali, Anrich Nortje, Rovman Powell, Anukul Roy, Mayank Markande, Chetan Sakariya, Luvnith Sisodia
RR vs KKR key battles:
He looked in good touch and will be eyeing another impactful knock with the bat. RR, on the other hand, would be hoping that Maheesh Theekshana keeps Narine in check. The Sri Lankan spinner dismissed Abhishek Sharma cheaply in the previous game and will be eyeing a similar outcome against Narine as well.
Sanju Samson vs Anrich Nortje:
KKR would be hoping that the RR star does not last long at the crease. The onus will be on their fast-bowler Anrich Nortje to send back Samson quickly. Nortje did not play the first game but is expected to be a part of the playing eleven for the upcoming game. Samson has struggled against short deliveries in recent times and Nortje can exploit that weakness.
Dhruv Jurel vs Varun Chakravarthy:
Jurel will be eyeing another good outing with the bat in the upcoming game. The onus to ensure that Jurel does not score big again will be on KKR's spin spearhead Varun Chakravarthy.
RR - Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, and Wanindu Hasaranga will be the key players for RR.
RR vs KKR Weather Report:
There is no forecast of rain during the game in Guwahati. The temperature is set to be in the mid-20s throughout the game.
Conclusion:
Both KKR and RR will be eyeing a much-needed win in the upcoming game to get the early momentum. While another defeat would certainly not derail their campaign, it could very well put them under pressure.
