The IPL 2020 season, the 13th edition of the cash-rich cricket league has its 12th match on 30th September, when Rajasthan Royals will face Kolkata Knight Riders at the Dubai International Stadium.
Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals are on a spectacular run this IPL season. They have won both of their first two matches, along with scoring a galore of runs in both innings. The destructive Sanju Samson has been impactful along with the skipper Steve Smith in batting, along with the newfound surprise of Rahul Tewatia’s swashbuckling knock against KXIP. However, the bowling squad was pale in comparison, with the likes of Archer, Unadkat, Curran, Tweatia giving away 10+ economy rates.

Kolkata Knight Riders
After a defeat against MI in the first game, Kolkata Knight Riders bounced back strong against SRH with a comfortable 7 wicket chase victory. The opener Shubman Gill impressed with a score of 70 unbeaten, in addition to a quick 29-ball-2 from Eoin Morgan. Pat Cummins churned out economic bowling figure along with Narine, Kuldeep and Mavi.
Full Squad: Andre Russell, Dinesh Karthik (c & wk), Kuldeep Yadav, Lockie Ferguson, Nitish Rana, Prasidh Krishna, Rinku Singh, Sandeep Warrier, Shivam Mavi, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shubman Gill, Siddhesh Lad, Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins, Eoin Morgan, Varun Chakravarti, Tom Banton (wk), Rahul Tripathi, Chris Green, Nikhil Naik (wk), Pravin Tambe, M Siddharth.
Waging odds: Rajasthan Royals (1.95) vs Kolkata Knight Riders (1.72)
Rajasthan Royals are priced at 1.95 and are the underdogs, meaning if you bet ₹100 on them and if they win tomorrow, you’ll be making ₹195.
Kolkata Knight Riders are the waging favourites and are priced at 1.72. Betting ₹100 on them will earn you ₹172 if they snatch a victory tomorrow.
Our prediction:
The RR batting squad has comfortably reached the double century mark in both of their previous games. Top-notch defensive bowling will be the need of the hour from KKR if they are to restrict their opposition from landing a ginormous knock once again.
Even though their batting squad has been spectacular, RR bowlers have been giving away too many runs, something KKR batsmen will try to take an advantage of if they are to chase a huge total. Kolkata Knight Riders will pull off a win.
