Preview

In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Match 36 would pit Kolkata Knight Riders against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (KKR vs RCB). KKR will look to maintain their domination at home against a poor team after winning the away game by seven wickets. On Sunday, April 21, there will be a doubleheader, with an exciting duel taking place in the afternoon at Eden Gardens.

The home club has won four of its last six games to move up to the second spot in the standings. They have just emerged from a close two-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals (RR) in an exciting last-ball match. Conversely, the lowest-ranked RCB team has suffered five straight losses, their most recent coming against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

One more loss would virtually eliminate RCB’s chances of making the playoffs, as they are currently in terrible shape. That is not something they can afford, and KKR needs to get back to winning. Kolkata is playing excellent cricket right now, and their wins against RCB are evident from their head-to-head matches. In their 33 meetings, KKR has prevailed 19 times compared to RCB’s 14 victories.
