KKR vs RCB Dream11 Match Prediction: Who Will Win Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

 After a resounding victory over the Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are eager to maintain their winning streak as they face the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their second match of the tournament. The clash between these two teams will take place at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Thursday, April 6.

Kolkata didn't have an ideal start to their IPL 2023 campaign, suffering a 7-run defeat (via DLS Method) against the Punjab Kings in their opening encounter. During the chase of a target of 192, KKR found themselves at 146/7 after 16 overs when rain interrupted the match. Consequently, they fell short of the DLS par score by 7 runs.


As per KKR vs RCB Match Prediction, Led by Nitish Rana, the Kolkata side is determined to bounce back from the setback and secure their first win of the season. Historically, KKR has had the upper hand over RCB in their IPL head-to-head record, and they will be confident, considering they previously restricted Bangalore to the lowest score (49) in IPL history.

On the other hand, RCB will be playing their first away fixture of the season, aiming to replicate their dominant performance from the first game. Their bowlers displayed exceptional skill against MI, limiting them to 171/7 in the first innings. With scintillating knocks from Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis, RCB comfortably chased down the target with 22 balls to spare.
