TEAMS PREVIEW
Kolkata Knight Riders Preview
Shreyas Iyer’s team is in awesome form this season and has won four out of five games. It was a dominant show by the side in the last game against the Lucknow Super Giants, where they won by 8 wickets. They are up against the table toppers in this game, and Iyer expects a strong show from his players as they look to reclaim the top spot on the points table.
Philip Salt played an electrifying knock in the last game, and he will look to do well at the top along with Sunil Narine. The middle order is strong, and they expect runs from Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Shreyas Iyer, and Venkatesh Iyer. Andre Russell and Rinku Singh have destroyed bowling attacks, and they strengthen this batting lineup.
The bowling attack did well in the last game, but they face a strong batting lineup and must bowl in the right areas. Mitchell Starc and Vaibhav Arora must pick early wickets to push RR on the backfoot. Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine are key bowlers for the side and have an important role in this contest. The side will need tight spells from Russell and Harshit Rana in the ing act.
Top Batsman – Philip Salt
Top Bowler – Sunil Narine
KKR Over/Under Betting Tips
Kolkata Knight Riders pack a serious punch with some of the most feared six-hitters in the IPL. Averaging a whopping 11 sixes per match, KKR boasts an explosive batting lineup that thrives on pitches like this one, which favours the batsmen. With these factors combined, we strongly predict KKR to hit over 9.5 sixes in today's IPL match.
Kolkata Knight Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Shreyas Iyer (c), Philip Salt (wk), Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc, Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakaravarthy, Rinku Singh (Impact Player)

Rajasthan Royals Preview
Sanju Samson's side continues with its great form. They defeated the Punjab Kings by 3 wickets in the last game, their fifth win in six games. The batting lineup has destroyed bowling attacks. Samson will need a strong show from his bowlers in this game, as bowling has been a weakness for the team.
Jos Buttler will return for this game after missing the last one due to an injury. He will look to do well with Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top. Samson will look to lead from the front and do well in the middle order with Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel. Shimron Hetmyer has made runs lower down the order, strengthening the batting with Rovman Powell.
The bowling attack must stand tall in this game as they face good hitters. Kuldeep Sen and Trent Boult must strike early to put the side in an advantageous position. Avesh Khan and Yuzvendra Chahal will play key roles in the middle overs. The side will expect a good show from Keshav Maharaj and Parag in the ing roles.
Top Batsman – Yashasvi Jaiswal
Top Bowler – Yuzvendra Chahal
RR Over/Under Betting Tips
Riyan Parag has been on fire this season, consistently racking up runs. He's amassed an impressive 284 runs in just 6 matches, placing him second in the Orange Cap race. In fact, Parag has crossed the 21-run mark in five out of his six outings. Given his red-hot form, we expect Riyan Parag to continue his dominance and score over 21.5 runs against KKR.
Rajasthan Royals Predicted Playing XI:
Sanju Samson (c & wk), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Jos Buttler, Keshav Maharaj, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Sen, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult (Impact Player)

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be clear skies over Kolkata on April 16. The wicket will be a belter, as we had seen in the first game. Batsmen can hit on the up and score runs easily. Bowlers must get their lines right to do well. The side batting first will need 180 runs on the board to feel confident.

High ScoringPace Bowling
SwingSpin Bowling
High Turn
Eden Gardens, Kolkata, has deep boundaries and a flat surface, and this evens out the contest between the bat and the ball. The wicket is flat, allowing batsmen to play on the up. Fast bowlers have been successful, and spinners also enjoy bowling here as the deep boundaries offer them additional protection.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
The pitch at Eden Gardens favours the batsman and it is traditionally a high scoring ground. In the two IPL matches played at this venue this season the average total aggregate score is 367.5 runs. Considering the nature of the pitch and the form of the batsman of both the teams, we predict the total aggregate score to be over 366.5 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
There would be some moisture on this surface due to rains in the city, and the ball would move in the early hours. The wicket will get better for batting as the game progresses. The side winning the toss would look to take advantage of the conditions by opting to bowl first.
KKR vs RR
Winning Prediction
Rajasthan Royals have struggled with the ball, and the side lacks variety in the bowling attack. Their batsmen have done well in the tournament, but the side will need a good show from the bowlers to win this game. Kolkata Knight Riders have done well with the bat and have power hitters in the side, giving them a slight edge.
