2.10Match 6 of the 2022 Indian Premier League sees Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders face off at the DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai on Wednesday evening. RCB were beaten by Punjab Kings by 5 wickets on Sunday with KKR defeating Chennai Super Kings in the tournament opener. Read on as we preview this game. This match begins at 19:30 local time.
Although RCB went down by 5 wickets in their first game, they will have been pleased with their batting display and posting a total of over 200. With more disciplined bowling they could get a win in this fixture.
KKR continued their strong form from the back end of the 2021 IPL and were excellent value for their victory over Champions CSK. They will be full of confidence ahead of this clach.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Star Sports in India, Sky Cricket in the UK and Fox Sport in Australia. Flow Sports will broadcast in the Caribbean with SuperSport possessing the rights in South Africa
Live Streaming:Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar and SkyGo.
The surface in Navi Mumbai was ideal for batters and tough work for most of the bowlers in the first game. We expect a similar pacey wicket for this game.

Australian players Glenn Maxwell and Josh Hazlewood are both expected to not be available for this game after missing the opening match defeat to Punjab Kings. Although they lost comfortably by 5 wickets with six balls remaining, we expect RCB to select the same XI for this match.
RCB ended last season with a bit of a whimper and have now won only one of their last four games. They will need a better display from their bowlers if they are to turn their form around.
Faf du Plessis (c), Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Virat Kohli, David Willey, Wanindu Hasaranga, Shahbaz Ahmed, Sharshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep
Shreyas Iyer’s side will again be without the services of Australia’s Test captain Pat Cummins who has only just finished the Test series in Pakistan. KKR produced an excellent team performance against CSK in IPL 2022 with Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine all impressive with the ball.
The Kolkata Knight Riders came from the bottom of the table to reach the final last year with an impressive second half of the season. They have won four of their last five IPL fixtures.
Venkatesh Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Sam Billings, Andre Ruseell, Sunil Narine, Sheldon Jackson (wk), Umesh Yadav, Shivam Mavi, Varun Chakravarthy
KKR have won the last two fixtures between the sides which ended a run of four successive victories for RCB.

RCB are the favourites with the bookies but we fancy KKR to make it two wins from two in the 2022 IPL.
After beating the 2021 IPL Champions in their opening match, KKR will be ready to beat another of the hotly tipped teams in this match. RCB showed quality against Punjab Kings but will find KKR another tough opponent.
The big name IPL batters are on show in the RCB line-up but it remains to be seen if the KKR approach from their opening game of everyone chipping in will be successful again.
Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Sherfane Rutherford are our batting tips for RCB. Both du Plessis and Kohli showed their class in the opening game but they will be well aware that it was not enough to win the game. Rutherford was not required against Punjab Kings but is a fine T20 batter who will be desperate to show what he can do.
Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer are our batting recommendations for KKR. All of the top five made double figures against CSK with Rahane hitting the most runs with the best strike-rate. Venkatesh Iyer hit four half-centuries during the 2020 IPL.
For RCB, Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga and Mohammed Siraj are our bowling tips. Patel was the leading wicket taker in the tournament last year and picked up the prized wicket of Shikhar Dhawan against Punjab Kings. Siraj finished with figures of 2-59 in the first game and is always a dangerous wicket taking option.
For KKR, Varun Chakravarthy, Umesh Yadav and Sunil Narine are our bowling tips. Narine did not take any wickets against CSK but returned impressive figures of 0-15 from 4 overs. Chakravarthy has been prolific over the last two seasons and he dismissed Robin Uthappa in the season opener.
As ever in the IPL, the big clashes between the top teams come thick and fast and this is another huge game. KKR got off to a fantastic start against CSK and will need to do the same in this match. We expect RCB to provide a stern test but are predicting KKR to emerge with another victory.
