Royal Challengers Bangalore have been a major disappointment with their bowling. None of their bowlers are match-winners and have displayed a below-average performance in previous games.
KKR have an advantage as they with experienced bowling attack that can at least control the run rate of the opposition. We predict a win for Kolkata Knight Riders.
