The Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Kolkata Knight Riders are set to clash at the high-scoring M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru this Friday. Following exhilarating matches in their recent outings, both teams will be eager to extend their winning streak in Bengaluru.
In their recent clash against Punjab Kings, RCB started strong with the ball. Despite a late cameo from Shashank Singh, they effectively controlled PBKS’ scoring. However, their middle order faltered during the chase of 177, with Virat Kohli being the lone standout performer with 77 runs off 49 balls. After a few quick wickets, Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror steadied the ship, securing victory with a 48-run partnership in just 18 balls.
For KKR, debutant Phil Salt’s crucial 54 off 40 provided stability amidst wickets falling, with Ramandeep Singh adding valuable runs with a 35 off 17 partnership. Rinku Singh and Andre Russell finished strongly for KKR after a shaky start. Despite defending 208, KKR initially struggled as SRH got off to a flying start. However, Sunil Narine’s disciplined bowling in the middle overs, conceding only 19 runs in four consecutive overs, stabilized the innings. Young seamer Harshit Rana then showcased nerves of steel, dismissing Shahbaz and Klaasen in quick succession, ultimately securing victory for KKR.
Ahead of the next match, here’s all you need to know.
