Highlights of the RR vs. KKR IPL 2024 match: Once again, rain has been a spoiler, forcing the final group stage match to be canceled. Although it’s a depressing ending, that’s the nature of the unpredictable weather. Rajasthan is left in a dejected mood, having to make do with just one point, which puts them in third place on the points table. They are lowered by their lower net run rate as compared to Hyderabad, who won earlier. Rajasthan’s confidence may falter as they are ready for the Eliminator against Bengaluru, a club that is playing extremely well and has won six straight games. Rajasthan has lost four straight games and now this washout. In a similar vein, inclement weather has plagued Kolkata for the past two games.However, they don’t waver and are currently anticipating the eagerly awaited Qualifier 1 matchup with Hyderabad, which promises to be an exciting confrontation for supporters.
When facing the Rajasthan Royals, the captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and decided to field first. It’s a shorter 7-over game, so get ready for a fast contest.
The Rajasthan Royals vs. Kolkata Knight Riders match in Guwahati is delayed by rain; the ground is currently covered because of the drizzle.
Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals (RR) will look to snap a four-match losing streak against Shreyas Iyer’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a top-of-the-table encounter that wraps up the league stage of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. The earlier game between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) determines the relevance of this match.
In the event that SRH triumphs and RR fails, SRH will take second position and be eligible for the first playoff qualification.
RR, who has lost their last four games, is looking to get back on track before the playoffs. Shane Bond, the bowling coach for RR, acknowledged the team’s good standing on the points table despite expressing regret over recent losses. “Despite losing four straight, we remain in second place. “All it takes is one outstanding performance to change the course of events,” Bond said, underscoring RR’s capacity to be fierce rivals.
It’s critical for KKR to keep up their form going into the playoffs. This month, their lone defeat came from a game called off due to rain. After making his debut against PBKS, Tom Kohler-Cadmore will open for RR in place of Jos Buttler in an attempt to showcase his power-hitting abilities. With Phil Salt out of the playoffs, Rahmanullah Gurbaz is slated to start for the KKR team.
With both teams trying to establish their forms and strategies, this game not only closes out the league season but also sets the stage for the playoffs.
