Next up in the VIVO IPL 2021 is a fascinating contest between the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Royal Challengers Bangalore. KKR will be looking for a turn of fortunes after a dismal first half of the campaign in which they only recorded 2 wins in seven games. But for a team which has the likes of Andre Russell and Eoin Morgan, things could turn for the better pretty quickly.
On the other hand, we have the star studded RCB side. Unlike KKR, RCB will be looking to continue where they left off in the first half of the IPL 2021. They have a strong balance in their squad and are looking pretty strong this season.

Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium is a good one to bat on. There will be ample swing on offer to keep the seamers engaged. There isn’t much on offer for the spinners. Batsmen will need to bite some time in the middle before going for the big shots.
Both the sides will be looking to field first upon winning the toss. A score in excess of 170 would be a fighting total at this venue. Dew is likely to come into play in the second innings.
