Preview
In the 36th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders will compete against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. After winning four matches in six during this season of the IPL, KKR are firmly placed in the top half of the points table. Meanwhile, RCB are playing some of the poorest cricket seen in recent memory in the history of the IPL, losing six out of their first seven matches to find themselves at the foot of the points table.

Analysis
Sunil Narine has been in scintillating form at the top of the order in the IPL 2024, scoring his first century in T20s against Rajasthan Royals, to help Kolkata Knight Riders put a big score of over 220 on the board. But, despite the good bowling performances from the spin bowling duo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, KKR were unable to defend the total against RR.
On the other side, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be playing in Kolkata after conceding 287/3 to Sunrisers Hyderabad at home, which is the highest total in the history of the IPL. The batting lineup of RCB made a fist of things in the run chase, with the likes of the captain Faf du Plessis, Dinesh Karthik, and Virat Kohli scoring runs at a fair rate, but the target was a bridge too far for them.
