RCB vs KKR Head to Head in IPL history | Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders records | IPL 2022 Match 6

RCB vs KKR Head to Head Record: The SportsRush presents for you the Head to Head statistics for IPL 2022 Match 6.

The sixth match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy tomorrow.

While Royal Challengers had ended up on the losing side of their season opener against Punjab Kings, Knight Riders had managed to stage a victory against defending champions Chennai Super Kings on Saturday.

RCB, who have won three out of their last five T20s against KKR, don’t have the overall backing of numbers with them. Keen to find their maiden IPL 2022 victory, RCB would be playing only their fourth match (one win and two losses till now) at this venue.

Kolkata, who had played a couple of matches in Navi Mumbai over a decade ago, are yet to lose a match here. Having also won their last two matches against Bangalore, Kolkata have all the reasons to believe that they will be able to win their second match in a row.
