RCB vs KKR: Wednesday’s IPL fixture will witness Royal Challengers Bangalore lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai. Both teams last met in the 2021 eliminator last year in which the Kolkata Knight Riders registered 4 wickets win and knocked RCB out of the tournament. It will be interesting to watch if the Royal Challengers manage to avenge their loss or not. As far as the ongoing season is concerned, Kolkata Knight Riders secured 6 wickets win over reigning champions Chennai Super Kings while Royal Challengers Bangalore faced 5 wickets defeat against Punjab Kings despite posting 200+ total.

Traditionally the DY Patil Stadium hasn’t been very high-scoring because of the long boundaries but we saw 205 being chased by Punjab Kings the other night. So, it should be good to bat on with the par score around 165.
Last result at the venue: Punjab Kings (208/5) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore (205/2) by 5 wickets
