Rajasthan Royals v Kolkata Knight Riders – Match Preview

The Rajasthan Royals had lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders four times in a row before finally beating their rivals in last year’s IPL.

It’s understandable that the best betting websites in India have priced the Knight Riders as favourites to win this match.

Where: Dubai International Cricket Stadium

When: Wednesday, 30 September 2020

Start time: 19:30 IST (14:00 GMT)

Pitch conditions: The Dubai International Cricket Stadium is hosting the most matches during the IPL 2020. The pitches will grow tired as the tournament progresses. But there’s still plenty of runs in this one. The bowlers will be pleased to play here rather than in Sharjah, where the boundaries are much smaller.

Weather conditions: With temperatures nearing 40 degrees celsius and no rain forecast, the players are in for another hot day in Dubai. The dew factor, as is the case at the other stadiums, will play a role. When late afternoon turns into evening, the moisture makes the ball damp and difficult to grip.

Rajasthan Royals v Kolkata Knight Riders – Latest Odds

Many IPL betting sites have really brought out some great markets and odds for this year’s tournament – and bet365 are among these.

Be sure to check out their individual match markets. Their outrights have the Royals priced at 2.0 to upset KKR, who are offered at 1.8.

Rajasthan Royals v Kolkata Knight Riders – Team News

The Royals have Jos Buttler back at the top of the order, but are still without England all-rounder Ben Stokes.

Doubt continues to grow about whether he will play the IPL 2020 at all.

It’ll be interesting to see if Rajasthan deploy Rahul Tewatia as a pinch-hitter again, as they did in victory over the Kings XI Punjab.

The Knight Riders won’t likely make many changes, if any. Shubman Gill will probably open the batting alongside pinch-hitter Sunil Narine or a more orthodox option.

The role of Shivam Mavi, with the new ball or a first-change bowler for KKR, will be key again.

Rajasthan Royals v Kolkata Knight Riders – Betting Tips and Prediction

Here are more match predictions, which are based on the best odds a variety of cricket betting websites in India have to offer.

Bet on Buttler, Samson and Smith to Hit Sixes

The field is bigger this time, but Buttler, Samson and Smith are primed for more range-hitting. Samson and Smith were particularly clean in their hitting against Punjab.

Many of their sixes cleared the ropes by a big margin, so the increased size of the Dubai dimensions shouldn’t prove problematic. 1xBet have Samson, Buttler and Smith priced at 4.5 to hit a six each.

These odds are relatively small compared to some of their other accumulators, which suggest it’s probable the trio will succeed in this market – and this is a bet well worth taking.

Predict No Ducks in This Match

There will be so many form batsmen on display in this match, while the bowlers continue to struggle. It’s not likely enough wickets will fall to reach the tail-enders, where ducks are more likely.

Parimatch are providing bettors with good markets during the IPL. We’re liking their price of 2.64 for total ducks in the match to be under 0.5.

Go For Archer and Cummins to Be The Top Bowlers

Pat Cummins was very economical and among the top-wicket takers in KKR’s recent win over Hyderabad. Archer bowls wicket to wicket and has extra pace, which could suit these conditions.

22Bet are a great option among the IPL betting sites. They have a variety of interesting markets. We are big fans of their accumulator outcomes.

This one has Archer and Cummins to be the top bowler for Rajasthan and KKR, respectively, at 11.0.
