RCB vs KKR Prediction
Royal Challengers Bangalore have looked out of sorts so far this season and they are still not clear on what should be their best possible playing eleven. Obviously, there is going to be enormous pressure on them as any more slip-ups from here onwards will make it even harder for them to catch up with the teams above them on the points table. Kolkata Knight Riders have won seven of their last ten matches against RCB and they have also beaten them in their last three encounters at this ground. However, their over-reliance on Andre Russell will be a major concern for them heading into this game and they cannot always expect him to bail them out of trouble every time. Although KKR have been performing much better, we expect the Virat Kohli-led side to pull up their socks and put an end to their losing streak come Friday.
