Match Preview

Kolkata Knight Riders must be slightly relieved they are not facing Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur even though it is supposed to be a home game for the latter. Within a week of conceding the match to Royals after a Super Over in Abu Dhabi, Knight Riders are facing them again, this time in Ahmedabad, which was assigned as the new home for Royals because the Rajasthan Cricket Association reportedly failed to produce the clearances from state authorities.

Would Royals be bothered? Not likely. Unlike bigger teams, they are used to these background irritations. They had a torrid time last year but still managed to finish in the top four. This year, their performances seem no different; they have been efficient as usual. Ask 11 people to pick the top performers for Royals this season and there is a good chance that all of them would disagree with the rest. Royals have a decent record at Ahmedabad with three wins in four games.

Before jumping on to the today's prediction we would like to mention once again that our experts may not available in each and every match, but don't be disappointed as we have already recruited more man-power and you will get better during match support from 9th May onwards.

KKR is in deep trouble, captain is not performing neither with the bat nor with their decisions. However, KKR is bowling is much better. But not as better as Royals, Rajasthan Royals bowlers are doing fine from last few games and now their batsmen also looking in good touch. No-doubt Rajasthan Royal is better team between the two. So our experts are supporting Rajasthan Royals in this game.
