“Two wins in a row for Bangalore” – Aakash Chopra predicts that RCB will defeat KKR in their forthcoming match.

A former India cricketer and game expert. Aakash Chopra made a daring prediction prior to the ninth match of the Indian Premier League 2023, which will be played at the Eden Gardens Stadium between the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Royal Challengers Bangalore. It will be Kolkata’s first home game since April 28, 2019, as the league has undergone numerous adjustments amid the COVID-19 pandemic during the course of the last three editions.

Aakash Chopra believes that Faf du Plessis’ squad will defeat Nitish Rana’s Kolkata Knight Riders in their forthcoming matchup. RCB had a winning streak after defeating the Mumbai Indians in their season opener and claiming an easy victory against the five-time defending champions. RCB appeared to be in fine form in all departments, while KKR struggled against the Punjab Kings in their previous match and ultimately lost.

“Bangalore will win this match, giving them two wins out of two, while Kolkata will suffer two losses out of two. Is this going to occur? We will discover the answer, but I believe that will occur. My second prediction is that Siraj and Harshal will take at least three wickets between them. If you add the name of any other quick bowler, the total will increase to five wickets. I believe that quick bowlers would be more successful than spinners here,” Chopra remarked in a YouTube video.

Russell and Maxwell will combine for at least five sixes: Aakash Chopra

Typically, the pitch at Eden Gardens Stadium supports batters. In the game’s shortest format, batters enjoy their time on the field and take advantage of the power play’s shorter boundaries. Given the batting lineups of the two sides, Chopra predicts that the batters will dominate the first six overs, resulting in big scores.

In the powerplay overs, more than 90 runs will be scored. Even 105 runs might be scored in the first six overs of each team’s innings. There will be solid hitting in the first few overs. There will be some assistance for fast bowlers from the pitch, but the ball will come quite sweetly onto the bat. Together, Russell and Maxwell will hit at least five sixes. Both enjoy hitting sixes, and this pitch is exceptionally conducive to six hitting,” Chopra noted.
