IPL 2021: KKR vs RR – Match 54, Match Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s Match?

KKR vs RR: The 54th match of the IPL 2021 will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah.

It is going to be a do-or-die game for Kolkata Knight Riders. They need to win this match in order to keep their playoffs hopes alive. Also, thanks to their better net run rate, Kolkata Knight Riders, wouldn’t want to depend on other teams’ results. They have played 13 games so far, out of which they have won 6 while lost 7. They are currently sitting at the fourth spot on the points table with 12 points in their kitty.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are almost out of the tournament after their humiliating defeat against Mumbai Indians in their last match. They lost their previous match against MI by 8 wickets with 70 balls still left in the match. They have very slim chances of making it too the playoffs since their net run rate is way too low as compared to the other three contenders.
