Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will look to finally open their account this season in the IPL when they take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 17th Match on Friday, 5 April 2019.
Nearly a fortnight into the season, Royal Challengers Bangalore are the only team without a win; led by Virat Kohli, RCB have finished second best in all four matches they’ve played. They suffered humiliating losses against CSK and SRH, but competed better in their matches against MI and most recently against RR.
The Knight Riders have two wins from three matches; the only defeat they suffered was at the hands of Delhi Capitals – a match that was decided in the Super Over – four days ago. Andre Russell was the match-winner in both KKR wins, though there have been useful contributions from several others.
