6.00Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders meet in Match 30 of the 2022 Indian Premier League on Monday evening at the Brabourne Stadium. Rajasthan Royals have six points from five games. KKR have played one game more but also have six points on the board. Read on as we preview this fixture. The game begins in Mumbai at 19:30 local time.
Rajasthan Royals have stumbled a little in recent games but still have the leading run scorer and wicket taker in their ranks. If either Buttler or Chahal puts in another match winning performance then they can expect to win this match.
KKR won three of their first four games of this season but have found the going a bit harder over the last two matches. They will need a big turnaround to be on the winning side in this game.
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.
Both of Saturday’s games, including one at the Brabourne Stadium, were won by the team batting first. However, no skipper has chosen to bat first in this tournament and we expect both captains to insert the opposition ahead of this match.
Spinners had the most joy on this pitch last Sunday but it was the pacemen who picked up the most wickets on Friday and Saturday. We expect to see a quick surface with a par score around 185.
It will be 29 degrees from the start to the finish of this game in Mumbai.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPL 2022.
After beating Lucknow Super Giants by 3 runs last Sunday, Rajasthan Royals were forced into one change ahead of their defeat to Gujarat Titans on Thursday. New Zealand left-arm paceman Trent Boult missed out with a slight niggle and was replaced by his compatriot Jimmy Neesham. We expect to see Boult back for this match.
Rajasthan Royals have been far stronger in the IPL 2022 than in the previous year’s tournament. However, they have lost two of their last three games.
Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson (c) (wk), Rassie van der Dussen, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Riyan Parag, Kuldeep Sen, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult
After losing by 44 runs to Delhi Capitals last Sunday, Shreyas Iyers’ side made three changes as they looked to bounce back against Sunrisers Hyderabad. In came Aaron Finch, Aman Khan and Sheldon Jackson with Sam Billings, Ajinkya Rahane and Rasikh Salam missing out. We expect to see the same XI for this match
After a strong start to the season, KKR have lost successive games against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals. Both defeats have been comprehensive and KKR need to regain some form as soon as possible.
Aaron Finch, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Sheldon Jackson (wk), Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, Aman Khan
KKR have the upper hand in the overall head to head matches and have won seven of the last nine games between the sides.

With both teams on six points, the bookies expect this clash to be as tight as the league placings suggest. Rajasthan Royals are narrow favourites to come away with the win.
Neither team are in great form but both looked very strong earlier in the tournament. We expect to see the match-winners of Rajasthan Royals making the difference in this game.
Both sides have big name batters in their top orders but it is the Rajasthan Royals players who have racked up the most runs so far.
Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal and Sanju Samson are our batting recommendations for Rajasthan Royals. Padikkal is competing in only his third IPL and hit an unbeaten century in last season’s competition. Only four players have scored more IPL centuries than Samson.
Shreyas Iyer, Venkatesh Iyer and Aaron Finch are our batting tips for Kolkata Knight Riders. Finch is a vastly experienced white ball opener and, although he only faced five balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he still hit a six. Venkatesh Iyer has struck 48 fours in 16 IPL games.
For Rajasthan Royals, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna are our bowling tips. Chahal is in fifth place in the all-time IPL wicket takers list and is only 6 dismissals behind Piyush Chawla in fourth place. Krishna has 4 wickets so far this season and could threaten his previous best tally of 12 wickets last year.
For Kolkata Knight Riders, Varun Chakravarthy, Umesh Yadav and Sunil Narine are our bowling tips. Narine took 2-21 at the Brabourne Stadium last weekend. Yadav took 103 wickets across the 2012 - 2018 IPL tournaments and looks back to his best after a few lean years.
Both teams will be desperate to return to winning ways and will fancy their chances of inflicting another defeat on their opponents. We are expecting an exciting game with high quality performances on each side. Overall we are predicting a win for Rajasthan Royals.
