The 43rd match of the ongoing 12th season of the Indian Premier League will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, tomorrow. With four wins in 10 matches, Kolkata are currently at No. 6 in the points table. On the other hand, three wins in 10 matches, Rajasthan are at No. 7 in the points table.
In what is a dismal home record, Knight Riders have won one out of the six home matches they have played in IPL 2019. Perhaps, it is one of the reason why they are lacking behind in the tournament at this point in time. Having won one out of four away matches, Royals also don’t possess a formidable away record this season.
