Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Kolkata Knight Riders T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024
RCB will host KKR in the 10th match of the IPL 2024. The match will be played at the Chinnaswamy Stadium and will start at 7:30 PM IST on March 29.
RCB have a few positives and plenty of negatives to take out from the two matches they have played so far. The team suffered a crushing six wicket defeat to CSK at Chepauk but bounced back to beat GT in their second game. Talking about their positives, the form of Virat Kohli will certainly please the fans. Also, the way Dinesh Karthik has played in the two games; it will take a lot of pressure off the top order.
However, there is a long list of negatives the team will have to work on. RCB rely heavily on their batters and if they are to win consistently, the willow wielders will have to come good. So far, Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green have looked very ordinary. RCB cannot ride on Kohli alone in quest to win their maiden title thus runs from the three main overseas players are a must. Also, RCB’s bowling will be something that will be tested throughout the tournament. They don’t have a quality spinner while the likes of Alzarri Joseph, Siraj and others can blow hot and hold.
Meanwhile, KKR have their share of problems as well. They did beat SRH in their tournament opener but almost conceded the game despite scoring 208-7 while batting first. The 24.75 crore buy Mitchel Starc collapsed under pressure. KKR are relying heavily on Starc so if he does not have a great tournament, things will get tough for the Shreyas Iyer-led side. The team will also be slightly concerned about the form of captain Shreyas Iyer who has been out of touch for a while now. However, the team is not heavily reliant on Iyer so they won’t mind much if he takes a couple of games to get into the groove.
Pitch Report:
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is famous for its batting-friendly pitch, which typically produces high-scoring clashes. Due to the short boundaries and lightning-fast outfield, no target seems out of reach for the batting team, allowing them to easily chase down seemingly daunting totals. However, teams batting first should aim to post a formidable score, preferably well over 200 runs, to remain competitive in the match, as the surface tends to favor the batters heavily.
RCB vs KKR Probable Playing XI:
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB):
Impact player - Mahipal Lomror
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR):
Phil Salt (wk), Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Ramandeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Mitchell Starc, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy
Impact player - Suyash Sharma
RCB vs KKR Match Toss Prediction
It is a very easy decision for captains to bowl first at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. It is a very small ground and defending here is very tough.
RCB vs KKR Head to Head
KKR have dominated RCB in IPL, especially in last five matches where they have managed to win four games.

Stats that Matter for Today’s Match Prediction
RCB Key Players
- Virat Kohli - Virat Kohli was in sublime form against PBKS and put on a magnificent display of classical strokeplay. Kohli scored 11 fours and 2 sixes en rourte to 77 off 49 balls in one of the most beautiful knocks of IPL in recent times.
- Cameron Green - Cameron Green came to RCB with great expectations, however, he has been a total flop both with the bat and ball. However, there is no doubt about his skills as a match winner. On a placid Bengaluru surface, Green’s exploits can’t be counted out.
- Glenn Maxwell – Maxwell has been in magnificent form in recent times. He had a brilliant IPL and then was exceptional in the T20I series against India and West Indies. The IPL 2024 has not yet got underway for him as he suffered failures in the first two games, however, he should be up and running very soon. Maxwell is also RCB’s most experienced spinner and will have to play a big role with the ball as well.
- Mohammed Siraj - Siraj has been the leader of the RCB pace attack for a few years now and to be fair, he has done reasonably well. The expectations will be high from the ace pacer. He had a great game against PBKS and bagged two wickets for 26 runs.
- Dinesh Karthik - Karthik is back in form as a perfect finisher for RCB. His form is crucial for this season and some experts are expecting this to be his last IPL. He has smashed 66 runs so far at an aggressive strike rate of 183.33. Karthik has scored 4500+ runs in the IPL at a strike rate of 133.24.
KKR Key Players
- Phil Salt - KKR made a bold move and played Salt ahead of Gurbaz and he played a brilliant innings of 54 in 40 balls. Salt is the number 2 ranked batter in the T20I ranking and has been consistent for a few years now. He has a great opportunity to make big impact in IPL.
- Rinku Singh - Rinku Singh stole the spotlight in IPL 2023 that also earned him his maiden India cap. He grabbed the opportunity with both hands and delivered exceptional performances for the national team. He has tremendous batting potential and whatever the situation be, if he is at the crease, KKR are always ahead in the game.
- Andre Russell - Russell showed his muscle power in the first game as he went on a six hitting spree, hitting as many as seven sixes in a 25 ball 64. Russell’s knock was the difference in the end. With the ball, he picked two wickets for 25 runs. He may not be consistent but on his day, he is a match winner.
- Sunil Narine - The Champion bowler is not getting any younger but his performances still are turning out to be game changers for the team. Narine’s four over are worth gold for KKR.
- Varun Chakaravarthy - The spinner was able to pick just 1 wicket and gave off a lot of runs against SRH but we are backing him as a key bowler at this ground where spinners have gained more success than pacers. Varun has taken 63 wickets in 57 IPL matches so far.
