IPL 2020 LIVE SCORE, Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders latest updates: Udana is pitching the end of the innings. Bowling back to back yorkers of the second and third. Nice fielding effort in the back on offside by Siraj, who saved a couple of runs there. DONE AND DUSTED! RCB has not been wrong here. They have beaten KKR by a wide margin of 82 races. Win this complete!
Advance: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) hope to maintain their winning momentum when they meet at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Monday.
KKR and RCB moved up to third and fourth respectively after registering contrasting victories in their respective matches in Saturday’s double. Kolkata was on track to suffer a massive defeat at the hands of Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) when a couple of terrains in between led to a dramatic turnaround, with Punjab falling just two runs off KKR total of 164/6 despite a Century opening booth.
RCB, on the other hand, was integral against the struggling Chennai Super Kings (CSK) when captain Virat Kohli led from the front, breaking an undefeated 90 against the bowlers, led by franchise rookie Chris Morris (19 / 3) and Washington Sundar (2/16), kept MS Dhoni and Co under control. Bangalore came away with a healthy 37-run win, only their second win against rivals from the south in nine games and their fourth in six this season.
Heading into the 28th match of IPL 2020, which will mark the middle of the league phase this year, Kolkata certainly has more to worry about when it comes to its players as veteran Sunil Narine has been reported for suspicious action. then the KXIP-KKR clash, as well as Jamaican superstar Andre Russell’s hot and cold streak with the bat this season.
While Narine continues to impress with his pinch-hitting skills this season, initially at the top of the order before being used as a floater to accommodate Rahul Tripathi at the top, he played a key role in his team’s victories in his last two exits drying the middle and the laborious routes.
Should Narine be reported again, he faces a bowling ban that could be a serious blow to Dinesh Karthik’s plans as the two-time champions seek to bridge the gap between themselves and the Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians, the top two on the scoreboard at the moment.
