IPL Live Score 2020, Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, Latest Updates: IPL 2020, Live Score RCB 19-0, 2 overs: Good start for RCB with Finch leading the attack on the bowlers as Padikkal continues to pick up some singles. 11 of the second finished.
Preview: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match 28 of the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL) in Sharjah on October 12.
Both RCB and KKR have won 4 of their first 6 matches and would seek to further consolidate their position with a victory.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
The most positive thing for RCB is Virat Kohli’s return to top form. He scored more than half of his team’s runs (90 of 52 deliveries) against CSK in Dubai. RCB would expect a great score from Aaron Finch and AB de Villiers, both of whom have failed in the last two games.
Chris Morris was the star with the ball against CSK; RCB would hope to be able to pick up from where it left off in Dubai. Although Yuzvendra Chahal is the most famous name in the XI and has been its main wicket bearer at IPL 2020, it is the spinner, Washington Sundar, who has been its forgotten hero and the most restrictive with an economy rating of 4.88.
Kolkata Knight Riders
KKR have won their last two matches and will be sure to do it three in a row. Shubman Gill will continue to be the pivot at the top of the order – his leading scorer in runs this season with 220 runs in 6 games. He plays the role of accumulator as indicated by his hit rate of 117.02.
KKR would like at least one of its two imports from the Antilles, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine, to do well. They have both had a horrendous tournament with the bat. Eoin Morgan also needs a significant score in the middle order.
Bowling has done a decent job for KKR in the tournament. Although they haven’t chosen a ton of terrain, the likes of CV Varun, Russell and even Narine have been quite restrictive. KKR would expect a great performance from their pacemaker – Pat Cummins, who has looked bad at IPL 2020.
