The Indian Premier League 2025 has got off to a flying start. As we head into the second round of games, the Rajasthan Royals will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 6th match. Both teams have lost their opening games and shall start the game under immense pressure. The Rajasthan Royals lost to the Sunrisers Hyderabad after a poor bowling performance, while the Kolkata Knight Riders lost against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
The Rajasthan Royals will be under pressure in this game after conceding 286 runs against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The bowling attack lacks the biting teeth, which puts the team under pressure. The Kolkata Knight Riders have a strong bowling attack with two of the best spinners in the tournament. It is a must-win game for both teams to get their campaign back on track, and we expect a thrilling contest.

It was an absolute carnage for Riyan Parag and his men in the last game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The bowling attack went for a leather hunt, conceding 286 runs, the second-highest score in the IPL. Parag would like to draw a few positives from the strong counter-attack by his batters but needs a better performance from his bowling unit to win this game.
Sanju Samson was in his full flow in the last game, and he will look to deliver an electrifying start in this game with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Riyan Parag and Nitish Rana missed out in the last game and will look to build partnerships in the middle order with Dhruv Jurel, who played a good knock. Shimron Hetmyer and Shubham Dubey are good strikers, and the team expects quick runs in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack was taken to the cleaners in the last game and needs to rethink its strategy and approach. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Maheesh Theekshana must strike early and keep the scoring rate under check. Jofra Archer must overcome his poor show in the last game and bowl better lines in the middle overs with Sandeep Sharma. The team needs Nitish Rana and Tushar Deshpande to do well in the ing roles.
Jaiswal was dimissed by a blinder of a catch against SRH, where he scored one run. The elegant left hander averages 25 in IPL matches played at Guwahati and at the moment he is in good form. We back Jaiswal to bounce back in todays game against KKR and score over 27 runs.
Samson scored a valiant half century (66 runs in 37 balls) agains SRH. The wicketkeeper batter is in sublime form and has been consistent in scoring big runs at the top of the order. At Guwahati in 3 matches, he has scored 60 runs. Against KKR, Samson has scored 529 runs in 21 matches, averaging 29.38.

Ajinkya Rahane and his men would look to put the upset in the last game against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They made 20 runs less than the par score on that wicket and didn't trouble the RCB batters with the ball. Their opponents struggled with the ball in the last game, and Rahane would like to exploit and earn their first points for the season.
Quinton de Kock missed out on the last game and must have delivered a good start with Sunil Narine, who looked in good form. Ajinkya Rahane batted well in the last game and must do well in the middle order with Venkatesh Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Rinku Singh and Andre Russell failed in the last game, and the team expects a good show from them in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack didn't hit its mark in the last game. Vaibhav Arora and Spencer Johnson struggled with the new ball, and they will look to bowl better lines in the next game. Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy are key bowlers for the team, and they must do well in middle overs. Harshit Rana and Andre Russell must deliver strong performances in the ing roles.
Venkatesh Iyer had a tough time against RCB, where he managed to score 6 runs in 7 balls. Not an ideal start for the southpaw having gone for big money in the auction, he has the additional pressure of the price tag. But he is KKR's biggest match winner and often scores runs at a consistent rate taking down the spinners. Against Rajasthan Royals, Iyer averages 27.25 and we back him to come out all guns blazing in today's match.

We expect clear skies over Guwahati and a flat batting surface where batsmen can score easily. Bowlers have their chances on this surface as it occasionally surprises the batters. The average first-inning score has been around 171 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 190 runs on the board.

Average TurnBarsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, is large and not the easiest venue for scoring big. Fast bowlers get assistance from the surface early in the game. Batsmen who build their innings have done well. Spinners, who turn the ball sharply, have done well at this venue.
The average total match 4's in the last three IPL games played at Guwahati is 34. It is not a high six hitting ground, but expect plenty of 4's. The last time KKR and RR squared off in IPL the total 4's count was 44.
We predict the luck to be in favour of the visitors, Kolkata Knight Riders and back them to win the coin toss.
The average total match score in the last three IPL games played at Guwahati is 340 runs. Unlike the other venues, the pitch at this Barsapara offers a balanced track with assistance to both batters and bowlers. RR and KKR bowling lineups were taken to the cleaners in their opening games and we expect them to bounce back and predict it to be a moderate scoring game.
The conditions are challenging for the batsmen initially, but they ease as the game progresses. Teams chasing scores have won more games at this venue in the past. Both captains will take a cue from the past results and look to bowl first.
The Rajasthan Royals have a strong batting lineup, but they failed to compensate for the weakness of the bowling attack. They need a strong show from their bowlers in this game to create a chance for themselves. The Kolkata Knight Riders have a stronger bowling attack suited for these conditions. We expect a close game, but the Kolkata Knight Riders will have an edge.
