Kolkata Knight Riders

The Knight Riders were at home to RCB on Friday and they went down by 10 runs in what was a thrilling contest. Kohli’s 100 and a quickfire 66 from Moeen Ali propelled RCB to a bat first total of 213/4. KKR looked doomed at 79/4 after 11.5 overs but Nitish Rana (85 off 46) and Andre Russell (65 off 25) gave it a real go only to come just short.

After a good start the Knight Riders have faltered and they have lost each of their last 4 matches. Those defeats included 2 games against the table topping Super Kings which saw KKR beaten by 7 wickets in Chennai and 5 wickets on home turf. In between those macthes the Knight Riders lost at home to Delhi Capitals by a 7 wicket margin.

KKR come into this game with a record of 4 wins and 5 defeats.
