RR vs KKR Match Preview
Rajasthan Royals will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the 18th match of the Indian Premier League.
Both the teams are facing the same fortune in the ongoing tournament. While Rajasthan Royals have won only one game out of four matches they played so far. Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand have also won only one game out of the four they played.
Rajasthan Royals suffered a demoralising defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday (April 22) and before that they had lost to Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings, while their only win came against Delhi Capitals.
Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, have lost three back to back games after opening their campaign with a win against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Although, they came close to reaching their target in their recent fixture, followed up on defeats to Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians with another loss. Eoin Morgan and co. will be keen to get back to their winning ways and a victory against the RR side will do wonders for their confidence.
