Unbeaten Rajasthan Royals to face off Kolkata Knight Riders today.
Both Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders won 10 games each out of the 21 they played while one match ended in no result.The 12th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
The Rajasthan Royals are ready to face off Kolkata Knight Riders in the upcoming game of the IPL 2020. Thus far in the tournament, the Royals have been indomitable winning both the games that they played. They pulled off an unbelievable victory in the last match against the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) which would have been a massive confidence booster. However, for the first time in the tournament, they would be playing away from Sharjah – a venue where they have been highly successful.
Their opponents in the game, the Knight Riders, got back to the winning ways after losing their first match. They were highly comprehensive against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), but the NRR is one area they would look to improve upon. In this game, RR would be eager to prove their power outside Sharjah while KKR would be eager to carry the winning momentum forward and possibly shocking the ‘Men in Pink and Blue’.
