Match Prediction – RCB vs KKR, 6th Match IPL 2022 – Who Will Win Today’s Match?

Royal Challengers Bangalore will be up against Kolkata Knight Riders in the sixth match of IPL 2022 at the D Y Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. RCB began their campaign with a loss to PBKS in a high-scoring thriller while KKR defeated four-time champions CSK in their opening fixture.

Royal Challengers Bangalore got off to a flying start with the bat in their first match. New captain Faf du Plessis began cautiously but then accelerated extremely well to finish on 88 runs, thus becoming the highest scoring overseas player on IPL captaincy debut. Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik also played a few handy shots to help RCB register the first 200+ score this season.

However, their bowling unit failed to restrict the Punjab Kings onslaught. It began with openers Shikhar Dhawan and Mayank Agarwal providing a commanding start while Bhanuka Rajapaksa also took the bowling unit to the cleaners. The dismissals of Raj Bawa and Liam Livingstone stalled their attempts momentarily before Odean Smith tonked several boundaries and sixes to help PBKS complete their joint-highest run-chase in IPL history.

Kolkata Knight Riders, meanwhile, exacted revenge following their IPL 2021 final defeat to Chennai Super Kings in the season opener. KKR got the perfect start that they’d have wanted with Umesh Yadav wreaking havoc. CSK continued to lose wickets at regular intervals and with pressure mounting, it was the legendary MS Dhoni who scored a half-century to take CSK to a respectable score of 131/5. Umesh Yadav was the pick among the bowlers with a spell of 2/20 while Sunil Narine conceded only 15 runs in his four overs.

The KKR run-chase was led by opener Ajinkya Rahane who got out on 44. Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer and Sam Billings also chalked up important contributions to secure a straightforward run-chase. The two-time champions ended up winning by six wickets to begin their campaign on a strong note.

Kolkata Knight Riders have the advantage in head-to-head encounters against Royal Challengers Bangalore. KKR have won 16 matches while RCB have 13 wins to their name. RCB have, however, won three of the last five matches between the two teams.

Head-to-head record

Wins : Royal Challengers Bangalore 13, Kolkata Knight Riders 16

Last 5 matches: Royal Challengers Bangalore 3, Kolkata Knight Riders 2

Who will win today’s match – Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 6 th Match IPL 2022?

Despite putting in a fantastic shift with the bat, RCB weren’t able to capitalize because of poor performances with the ball. Meanwhile, KKR’s bowling unit wasn’t tested because of CSK’s dismal batting. Therefore, the side who bowls better in this match will come out on top. Kolkata Knight Riders might have a minor advantage because of tight eight overs in the middle that they get out of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy.

It’s neck to neck between RCB and KKR. Check out RCB vs KKR Prediction to understand the rivalry.

Game changers for Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 6 th Match IPL 2022

Faf du Plessis was the star of the show for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the opening match and he fell 12 runs short of a century. Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik also looked in good touch. However, the duo of Mohammed Siraj and Harshal Patel will have to bowl better.

Kolkata Knight Riders, meanwhile, will have to make do without the services of Aaron Finch and Pat Cummins. Both the Australian players are currently in Pakistan and will not be available for the first five matches of IPL 2022. This could pose a significant problem for the franchise. Shreyas Iyer has been in excellent form with the bat and the likes of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy have bowled really well.

Askash’s Betway Prediction – KKR vs RCB

Who will be the best match bowler?

Umesh Yadav won the player of the match award in the first game thanks to his match-winning spell of 2/20. The senior pace bowler got KKR the perfect start with wickets in the Powerplay and will be expected to do the same here.

Who will win today’s man of the match?

Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Harshal Patel could be in the running for the man of the match award. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer, Venkatesh Iyer and Andre Russell are also expected to be key for KKR.

Who will be the best batsman for Royal Challengers Bangalore?

Faf du Plessis couldn’t have asked for a better start to IPL 2022 as far as personal form is concerned. He shook off a cautious approach and got a new life after being dropped but ended up making it count. Du Plessis finished on 88 off 57 and his innings was laced with three fours and seven sixes.

Who will be the best batsman for Kolkata Knight Riders?

Shreyas Iyer hasn’t been dismissed in his last four T20 matches. The right-hander has been in the form of his life over the last couple of months and he also saw KKR getting past the finishing line in the first match. Iyer will be expected to score big runs here.
