KKR vs India Betting Tips

  • Gambhir and Uthappa are in good form but KKR’s middle-order looks a little unstable.
  • Rahane has performed consistently for RPS but Khawaja and Ashwin appear rusty.
  • KKR have a better bowling lineup than RPS which puts them at an advantage.

Our Prediction

Kolkata Knight Riders are favourites to win

The 45th match of the Indian Premier League 2016 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rising Pune Supergiants on May 14 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. KKR with 12 points currently occupy the fourth spot on the points table while RPS has dropped down to seventh spot with six points. Live action will begin at 8 PM local time.

Pitch Report and Toss Factor

Aside from the first match here which was a very low-scoring contest, the following three games have yielded scores above 150 in both the innings. So 160 can be considered as a competitive first-innings total.

Of the four games played here, three have been won by the side batting second. So whoever wins the toss is likely to bat second. This could turn out to be a close contest if RPS wins the toss.

If Kolkata Knight Riders Bat First

Predicted score: 160

The in-form Gambhir and Uthappa will have to start well and one of them will have to play a big innings. RPS, as usual, will start off with Dinda and RP Singh who have not been that much impressive in this IPL. So KKR openers will have a good chance of giving their team a brisk start. Early wickets will, however, put pressure on Pandey and Yadav who have been rather inconsistent. Also, it won't be easy for them to take on Zampa and Perera in the middle overs. But if Shakib or Pathan gets going towards the end, KKR should achieve the predicted score of around 160.

If Rising Pune Supergiants Bat First

Predicted score: 150

Rahane and Bailey at the top order will have to bat long for RPS as Rahane's opening partner Khawaja is struggling to find his form. Though Saurabh Tiwary has played a few handy innings in the past, it is not sure whether he could apply himself against KKR's Russell, Morkel and Shakib who have been bowling well of late. So if KKR remove Rahane and Bailey early on, RPS could struggle to reach 150. Skipper Dhoni is a reliable batsman down the order and if he is supported by hard-hitter Perera, KKR might as well have to chase a challenging total after all.

Our Prediction

Both teams will be going into the match with defeats in their previous games. KKR have won two and lost two at the Eden Gardens so far, so they are certainly not unbeatable on their home ground. RPS are a fine mix of young and experienced players and if they can put up a good performance collectively on Saturday, the match could very well go their way. The two teams met in Pune last time and the match went down to the wire with KKR emerging victorious in the end by two wickets.

Although RPS are by no means a weak team, we feel that Kolkata Knight Riders should be the favorites to win the match.
