Rajasthan Royals will be up against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on March 26. The sixth game of the season will be played at a neutral venue, though the ground is serving as a home ground for Rajasthan Royals in this match.
The competition between these two teams has been so tough that neither team holds an advantage over the other. They have played a total of 30 games against each in the tournament’s history and have won 14 games each with two matches ending in no result.
In the previous edition of the tournament, Rajasthan Royals had finished third in the points table and were knocked out of the tournament in the Qualifier 2 while Kolkata Knight Riders finished the league stage top of the table and even went on to win the championship.
Rajasthan have held tight to their core of Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag and Sandeep Sharma as they were retained ahead of the mega auctions. Kolkata did pretty well too with Rinku Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Ramandeep Singh and Harshit Rana as their retention.
Samson will continue to be their full-time skipper for the season while KKr have found a skipper in Rahane after Shreyas Iyer was let go from the team. Both these teams did a decent job at the auctions table where they found some great picks to fill the gaps in their team and have a strong and well-balanced squad.
Winds up to 13 km/h with gusts up to 24 km/h are forecast from the southeast. However, there is virtually no chance of precipitation, and no thunderstorm is expected. About 43% humidity, 0% cloud cover, and 0.0 mm of precipitation are forecasted. It is predicted that the temperature will peak at 34 degrees during the day and drop to 19 degrees at night, with a slight decrease during playtime.
