They need a win to keep their playoffs chances alive. KKR’s net rate is better than defending champions Mumbai Indians who are too fighting hard against the odds to finish in the top 4.
Rajasthan Royals who are almost out of the tournament after their defeat to the Mumbai Indians will like to add 2 points to their name in their last encounter. Sanju Samson-led Royals will like to finish the reason on a positive note for uploading the spirit of the youngsters in the team and as well as the team management.

Pitch Report
It’s a double-sided surface we have witnessed at Sharjah so far in the tournament. The Pitch doesn’t expect to change too much for the bowlers. The Sharjah wicket has tremendously helped the bowlers clinch some wickets.
Moreover, it isn’t bad for betting either. The ball does come onto the bat nicely.
