A loss in their last match has pegged Kolkata back, but they are still in the race for the playoffs. Bengaluru are sliding from one loss to another, and are not far from crashing out of the tournament. Having already won once over RCB, I am backing KKR to win again here.

  • Kolkata have also won 3 of their last 4 matches at this venue against RCB (IPL)
  • Bengaluru have lost their last 5 matches (IPL)
  • Virat Kohli scored 50s in his last 2 matches against Kolkata (IPL)
