RCB vs KKR Dream11 Prediction: Match 36 of IPL 2023 Playing 11, Pitch Report and Fantasy Cricket Tips for Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders Dream11 Team

Royal Challengers Bangalore go head-to-head against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 36th match of the Indian Premier League at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore on 26th April, Wednesday at 7:30 PM IST.

Royal Challengers Bangalore were brilliant in the last game except for the part where they only scored 30 odd runs in the last five over of the first innings. After losing Virat Kohli of the first ball of the game, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell took the onus and counter attacked Rajasthan Royals.

Royal Challengers at one stage were looking to go past 200 but once Glenn Maxwell got out their middle order crumbled and settled for 189. It was the bowling that made all the difference. Mohammed Siraj struck early to remove Jos Buttler which set the tone and then Wanindu Hasaranga and Harshal Patel squeezed things and won by 7 runs at the end.

Kolkata Knight Riders were up against a strong Chennai Super Kings at their own backyard. Knight Riders were taken for cleaners as they conceded a mammoth 235. Chasing a steep target Knight Riders kept losing wickets but Jason Roy and Rinku Singh had other ideas.

Once Roy got out after making a blistering fifty, it was all on Rinku Singh but it was too much to do in the end, Knight Riders slumped into a 49 run defeat and their fourth straight loss in the tournament.

M Chinnaswamy Stadium Picth Report

The pitch in Bangalore is a belter for batting. It offers very little assistance for the pacers and there might be something in it for the spinners later in the game. Teams batting first have to ensure they post something huge and have the bowling to restrict in the second innings. Average first innings score is 160

With how things have panned out in Bangalore, M Chinnaswamy Stadium is a very good batting track. Given this a night game, it’s going to be a run fest again. Bangalore won both the day games and now playing the night game, it’s going to be an even contest as the pitch will stay true throughout.
