IPL 2019 KKR vs KXIP Match 43 | FanFight Fantasy Cricket Preview

KKR vs RR: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is all set to take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match 43 of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The match will be held in KKR’s fortress, the Eden Gardens.

Though KKR started the tournament on a high, their recent form has been utterly disappointing. With five back-to-back losses, KKR seems to have lost their ground in the tournament. They stooped down to 7^th place in the IPL standings and are currently just above RR, leading them by 2 points.

It is a make-or-break situation for both the teams. Though it is sad to see KKR in this situation, RR, on the other hand, will be joyed to finally see themselves in good form. RR, who had a disastrous start to their tournament are finally seeing a ray of hope, under their new captain, Steve Smith. Ever since Smith took over the reins, RR has shown a change in their performance. RR would be hoping to bank on this confidence and put up a good performance against the KKR.

KKR HAVE TO WIN THIS

KKR, on the other hand, have a lot of concerns on their table. Skipper Dinesh Karthik hasn’t been able to perform as expected and has been under constant criticism for his dismal show at this IPL. In fact, there were rumours doing the rounds that KKR board is contemplating to axe Karthik as their captain. However, coach Jacques Kallis has rubbished the rumours. Karthik should also be wary of the fact that he is chosen in the Indian squad ahead of in-form Rishabh Pant. His inclusion itself raised a lot of eyebrows and with that, expectations from him have sky-rocketed.

With both the teams entering into a must-win game, there is hardly any margin for error for both the teams. While KKR are still in a better position amongst the two, to seal their playoff chances, RR can only hope to win every game from here on to find some luck once all teams finish their league matches, as the other parameters will also come into the picture. Well, RR 2.0 certainly possess the ability to disappoint the hosts. It is certain that the game is going to be a nail-biting encounter, with both the teams poised to turn their fortunes.

PITCH REPORT

213, 162 and 180 were the winning totals in the last 3 games at the pitch. Hence, there is no doubt that the pitch will be thoroughly enjoyed by batsman’s paradise. The bowlers would face the wrath of the batsmen even on their minutest of mistakes. Add to that the shorter boundaries; a slim miss in the line or the length, and the batsmen will put the ball out of the park. With the batting line up of both teams being in a very healthy form, a score of 180 should be easily gettable.

WEATHER REPORT

The weather in Kolkata is expected to be neutral, with the temperature hovering around the 27-degrees mark. However, high humidity is expected to shadow through the game. With humidity numbers extending 90 per cent, the dew factor could play a major role in the game.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Kolkata Knight Riders have won just a game more than the Rajasthan Royals in the 19 games they played against each other. KKR have won 10 games and RR have just 9 wins to their name. The difference in winning ratio at the Eden Gardens Stadium tells a completely different story. Out of the 7 games played there, KKR won 6 while RR could manage just 1 win.

TEAM COMBINATIONS

Kolkata Knight Riders

KKR may look to Harry Gurney for may bring in uncapped Aussie pacer Matt Kelly. Also, KC Cariappa may make way for Kuldeep Yadav. The in-form opening pair, Lynn and Narine will continue to open the innings for KKR and Shubman Gill will manage the critical number 3 position. The team would heavily depend upon Rana and Karthik. As usual, the team and the crowd will look for Andre Russell to cast his magic.

Probable XI: Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine, Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik (C & WK), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Piyush Chawla, Yarra Prithviraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Matt Kelly

Rajasthan Royals

Although the team faced a loss in the last game, they might look to retain the line-up. Steve Smith is in a good form and he would be the key player for RR. Ben Stokes would also be looking to seize this opportunity and make it big. However, the ECB has given a deadline for all the players to report to their training centres by April 26^th. So if Ben Stokes & Jofra Archer don’t play tomorrow, Liam Livingstone and Oshane Thomas might get a chance to play.

Probable XI: Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson (wk), Steve Smith (C), Ben Stokes/Liam Livingstone, Ashton Turner, Stuart Binny, Riyan Parag, Shreyas Gopal, Jofra Archer/Oshane Thomas, Jaydev Unadkat, Dhawal Kulkarni
