Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore will meet on 20 October, in Match 31 of IPL 2021 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. With five wins and two defeats, Bangalore are currently at third place, while Kolkata languish on seventh, with just two wins.
Bangalore will be heavily reliant on Virat Kohli and A.B. de Villiers again. De Villiers has notched up three consecutive fifties in their last three fixtures against Kolkata. Bangalore have also won their last four meetings, and are favourites on paper again after the additions of Tim David, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera and George Garton.
Kolkata, on the other hand, will miss the services of Pat Cummins, who was in excellent form with both bat and ball during the first half of the season, in India. Andre Russell and Sunil Narine, who had performed well in the recently concluded CPL, will be key for their side.
