After 16 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 58/7 ( Kuldeep Yadav 4 , Lockie Ferguson 1)

Sundar into his final over. Morgan has been the lone warrior for KKR so far. Big responsibility on his shoulders, that of taking KKR to a respectable total. He sweeps the third for a four, plays the same shot off the next but it went straight into Gurkeerat’s hands at mid wicket. Six runs off the over.

Preview: Kolkata Knight Riders take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 39th match of the Indian Premier League at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.

KKR would look to strengthen their place in the top four when they take on RCB. They were involved in a thrilling tie against Sunrisers Hyderabad which they won in the Super Over in their last match. After two losses, against RCB and MI, it would have been a relief to get back to winning ways.

KKR would be happy that their top order finally clicked in unison. Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi and Nitish Rana all got starts and they would be expected to convert them into big ones going forward. The one concern for them is Andre Russell's batting form, the West Indies all-rounder hasn't clicked. He suffered an injury in the last game and KKR would hope that he is fit in time for the game.

The move to bring Lockie Ferguson worked wonders for KKR. The Kiwi pacer ripped through the top and middle order and then bowled a brilliant Super Over to win it for KKR. He will again be a big threat for RCB. KKR would expect much more from Pat Cummins' wickets column. It will be fascinating to watch the Kohli/De Villiers vs Ferguson/Cummins battle.

RCB too got back to winning ways after the defeat to KXIP with a thumping win over RR. The two main architects of their win were Chris Morris and AB de Villiers. Morris has been brilliant with the new ball and at the death while De Villiers has been batting on an altogether different plane. KKR bowlers will need to up their game big time in order to stop the De Villiers force. RCB might need to revisit their batting theme though and not rely too much on ABD. They have been too slow in the middle overs and leave it late for De Villiers to pull them off.

These two teams met earlier in the tournament at Sharjah and witnessed a De Villiers masterclass of 73 off 33 balls. KKR succumbed to 112/9 in chase of an over-par 195.

Both the teams would be looking to strengthen their position in the top four and coming into the match on the back of wins, we can expect another cracker.
