KKR vs RR IPL 2024 Match 70th Dream11 Prediction: The IPL 2024 70th match will be played at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Sunday, May 19th. It will be a showdown between Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Shreyas Iyer's Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 70th match of the ongoing edition.

KKR vs RR today's winning prediction  

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a crucial IPL match. RR is aiming to break their four-match losing streak and secure a top-two finish. Although they have already qualified for the playoffs with 16 points, their recent performance has been poor, especially in batting, with scores below 150 in the last two games. The absence of key player Jos Buttler has weakened their lineup, so players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Riyan Parag need to perform better. A win would give RR a stronger chance of reaching the final.

KKR, already at the top of the points table with 19 points, gained confidence from a washout against Gujarat Titans and a win against Mumbai Indians. However, they need to stay focused and avoid complacency. Historically, RR and KKR have been evenly matched, each winning 14 out of 29 encounters.

Prediction:

• Rajasthan Royals need to improve their batting to end their losing streak and secure a top-two spot.
• Kolkata Knight Riders will aim to maintain their momentum and avoid complacency, having already secured the top spot.
• The match could be closely contested given the evenly matched history between the two teams.

Prediction:

Given these statistics, both teams have strong batting capabilities with high team scores close to each other. RR's highest score this season is slightly higher than KKR's, suggesting a potent batting lineup. However, with Jos Buttler absent, RR's other batsmen will need to step up significantly.

Both teams also have impressive individual batting performances and effective bowlers. Yuzvendra Chahal's best bowling figures for RR are particularly notable and could be a game-changer.

Expect a high-scoring game with strong individual performances. RR's key players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson will need to fill the gap left by Buttler. KKR, already at the top, must maintain their form and avoid complacency.

Final Note: The match could be tightly contested, but RR might have a slight edge if their batting lineup can compensate for Buttler's absence and if Chahal delivers another standout bowling performance.

KKR vs RR: Fantasy Cricket Tips:

Rajasthan Royals (RR) have lost four matches in a row but have already qualified for the Playoffs. They need to win against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to secure a top-two spot. RR is struggling without key player Jos Buttler, who has returned home for international duties. Their recent debut of Tom Kohler-Cadmore highlights Buttler's absence. However, their bowling coach, Shane Bond, is optimistic, saying RR is "hard to beat" and just needs one good game to regain their form.

KKR has been performing well recently, only hindered by a rain-abandoned match. Their middle-order and spin attacks are in good form. They aim to address their past issues against RR and maintain their momentum.

• Fantasy Cricket Tips:
• Pick In-Form Players: Focus on selecting players from KKR's middle-order and spin attack as they are currently performing well.
• Key Players from RR: Even though RR is struggling, players like Sanju Samson and key bowlers could still make a big impact.
• Consider All-Rounders: Players who can contribute both with bat and ball can give you extra points.
• Check Team News: Keep an eye on the latest team news and injuries before finalizing your team.
