KKR vs RR: Playoffs chances at risk as KKR host RR
Kolkata Knight Riders will face Rajasthan Royals in a must-win Indian Premier League encounter on Sunday at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Riding high on confidence, KKR will be determined to stay alive in the race for playoffs, while Rajasthan Royals, already eliminated from the tournament, will aim to spoil KKR’s plans.
With their four matches remaining in the league stage, KKR find themselves in a must-win situation. To qualify for the playoffs, they need to win all their remaining games. Their recent performances have been promising, and they will be eager to continue their momentum.
Rajasthan Royals, having been eliminated from playoffs contention, have nothing to lose. They have endured a torrid season, winning only three of eleven games. This positions them as potential spoilers, capable of disrupting the aspirations of KKR. However, RR will hope to end the season on a high note by winning their remaining games.
