The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 36th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Wednesday, April 26. Here’s all you need to know about the RCB vs KKR encounter before the game.
Royal Challengers Bangalore have been in good form recently, having won three of their past four games. The combination of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell has done the majority of the scoring, while Mohammed Siraj has expertly commanded the bowling assault.
Meanwhile, the Kolkata Knight Riders are on a four-game losing streak, with their bowling attack failing to deliver. Despite their terrible form, KKR have some attacking options in the form of Andre Russell and Venkatesh Iyer.
Another exciting encounter awaits in Bengaluru, with both sides seeking for a crucial victory.

RCB vs KKR Pitch Report
The pitch in Bengaluru is excellent for batting, with an average score of 193. Although the team batting first has won three of the five matches this season, just one of them has been in the evening. Although pacers have dominated at this location, spinners have taken nearly a third of the wickets. With dew expected to have a role, chasing would be the preferable choice if the toss was won.

RCB vs KKR Match Prediction
So far, KKR’s pace attack has been abysmal. Umesh Yadav and Kulwant Khejroliya were both pricey and ineffective, while offshore imports were perhaps much worse. While Kolkata has match-winners on their team and can take the two points, Bangalore is the slight favourite.
Prediction: RCB to win Match 36 of IPL 2023.
