Bangalore vs Kolkata Match Prediction
Pitch Report
The pitch at the Brabourne Stadium is excellent for batting and the boundaries of this ground are small as well. There will be a lot of dew in the 2nd innings and both teams would want to bowl first.
Royal Challengers Bangalore preview
Royal Challengers Bangalore lost their first game of the tournament, and they would want to bounce back. The form of Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli is looking great, whereas Dinesh Karthik also finished well in the last one. However, the rest of the batting of this side is quite inexperienced.
Mohammad Siraj scalped a couple of wickets in the last game, but he leaked a lot of runs. The same was the case with Harshal Patel as well and the death bowling of the side has to improve.
Probable XI: Faf du Plessis, Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik, Sherfane Rutherford, Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga, David Willey, Harshal Patel, Mohammad Siraj, Akash Deep/Siddharth Kaul.
