After getting their tournament off to a great start with an emphatic win over Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will look to continue their winning momentum in their second game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The two teams will lock horns on Thursday, April 6, at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

Kolkata didn’t get off to the best of the starts in their Indian Premier League 2023 campaign as they lost their opening encounter against Punjab Kings by 7 runs (via DLS Method). Chasing a target of 192, KKR were 146/7 after 16 overs, when rain interrupted the match. Consequently, they were found 7 runs behind the DLS par score.

The Nitish Rana-led side will look to bounce back from the defeat and get the first win under their belt. Kolkata have historically had an upper hand over RCB in IPL head-to-head records and will go into the game being confident of the fact that they’ve bundled out Bangalore for the lowest score (49) in IPL history in the past.

On the other hand, it will be RCB’s first away fixture of the season and they will look to replicate their dominating performance from the first game. All of their bowlers came to the part against MI as they restricted them to 171/7 in the first innings and later chased down the target with 22 balls to spare, courtesy of scintillating knocks by Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis.
