Rajasthan Royals will be up against table-leaders Kolkata Knight Riders in the 70th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on Sunday. There is no doubt that RR and KKR have been the two best teams of the tournament but the former are on a four-match losing streak and they will want to snap that before the playoffs.
There are good chances that these two could meet each other in the first qualifier and can also set their final date in the summit clash. Thus, both teams will want to have a psychological edge before taking on one another in those big matches.
