KKR have the best powerplay batting performance (Avg 47.14/SR 11) while RR have the worst (Avg 30.11/RR 7.53) among all teams in IPL 2024

Shimron Hetmyer has the most runs in death overs since IPL 2022, striking at 201.8. Among all the batters Who have faced 100-plus balls in this phase, his strike rate is bettered only by Tim David (213.14) and Dinesh Karthik (209.9).

Trent Boult, who had five wickets in the powerplay in the first three games of the season, has gone wicketless during this phase in the last three matches.

Last game Boult was not given bowling in 1st power play which is very strange behavior by his captain

KKR vs RR Match Prediction- Who Will Win Today’s Match?

While both teams have been excellent in IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have more chances in their favor to win the KKR vs RR game as they have the home advantage and their openers’ fine form will definitely give them an edge over Rajasthan Royals.

Best batters --

1. Phil Salt: KKR immensely benefited from Phil Salt's services as an opening batter so far this season. He has been mainly responsible for providing electrifying start to the game, mustering 191 runs in five games at an average of 47.75 and a strike rate of 159.17 including two fifties to his credit.

2. Riyan Parag: It is no secret that Riyan Parag has been the best-performing youngster in the ongoing season of the IPL. He has shown a great deal of calmness, composure and maturity in the tournament so far. Notably, he is the second leading run-scorer this season with 284 runs in six games at an average of 71 and a strike rate of 155.19.

3. Rinku Singh: Rinku Singh hasn't quite found his rhythm in the ongoing season. He was a formidable weapon for KKR in the last season but is just one good knock away from finding form. Rinku who scored 63 runs in six games so far this season will be hoping to make his presence count when he takes the field against the Royals.

4. Sanju Samson: RR captain Sanju Samson has been one of the stand out performers in the ongoing season. The right-handed batter has been pretty good at assessing the conditions and going about his business. The Kerala-born who is the third-leading run-scorer in IPL 2024 has amassed 264 runs in six games at an average of 66 and a strike rate of 155.29 including 3 fifties.

Better bowling side game always interesting but I feel plenty of runs scores today koz Eden Garden have Reputation of Run paradise, Also good for all those "Flat track Bully" Difficult to Judge MOTM or who will took more wickets

Four Bowlers Who Will Pick Maximum Wickets in Kolkata vs Rajasthan?

Mitchell Starc (KKR): Starc is the only seasoned pacer in the KKR squad. The Australian left-arm fast bowler has been criticised for his poor display in the first two matches but made a comeback in the last match against LSG, as he bagged three crucial wickets. Starc has 39 wickets in his IPL career. In the death overs, his experience will be vital for the Knights.

Vaibhav Arora (KKR): The 27-year-old Indian right-arm medium-fast bowler has 14 wickets in 13 matches. In this season Arora bagged 6 wickets in just three matches. He will be very effective in the early overs of the innings.

Trent Boult (RR): The Kiwi fast bowler is the only seasoned fast bowler in the RR pace lineup. His ability to swing the ball both ways will very much come in handy against the Knights. In the IPL 2023, he collected 13 wickets in 10 games. Boult has 111 wickets in his IPL career. This IPL season, the left-arm bowler has claimed six wickets. He is likely to cause mayhem against the in-form Knight-top order in tomorrow's match.

Yuzvendra Chahal (RR): The Indian leg-spinner was the Royals' leading wicket-taker in the previous IPL season, with 21 wickets in 14 matches, as well as the leading wicket-taker in IPL history. The 34-year-old veteran wrist spinner is also leading the race for the Purple Cap this season, claiming 11 wickets in six matches. Chahal is a match-winner on his day, and RR expects him to continue his magic in the remaining matches of the season.

Both the Royals and the Knights are looking formidable this season, and both of them made a comeback in their respective last matches. In the last match at Eden Gardens, most of the batters found it difficult to bat with ease and also the pitch provided enough bounce to help pacers. Hence, a neck-to-neck battle should be expected from these belligerents, as a win will help to cement their spot in the playoffs.
