Kolkata Knight Riders had been good in this edition of the Indian Premier League so far. They had played a total of nine matches with five wins to their name. They had lost four matches and are holding the 4th position on the points table. They are coming to this match on the back of a massive win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their most recent match which was tied and was decided through the super over. They lost the toss and were asked to bat first. The performance of their batting order was average in the previous match. They scored a total of 163 runs in their inning of 20 overs. Shubman Gill was the highest run-scorer from their side who scored 36 runs while he faced 37 deliveries and smashed five boundaries during his inning. The skipper, Eoin Morgan also had a good performance with the bat. He scored 34 runs on 23 balls with the help of three boundaries and one six. Dinesh Karthik remained not out after scoring 29 runs while he smashed two boundaries and the same huge sixes. Nitish Rana also had 29 runs to his name. Rahul Tripathi could manage to score 23 runs while Andre Russell had just nine runs to his name.

The performance of the bowling unit of Kolkata Knight Riders was outstanding in the previous match. They defended the target of 164 runs and leaked 163 runs in their 20 overs inning. They used six bowlers in that match and Lockie Ferguson, who was playing his very first match of the Indian Premier League 2020 had an outstanding performance. He picked three wickets in his four overs bowled out against just 15 runs. He also picked two wickets in the super over while he leaked just two runs. Pat Cummins also had a good performance with the ball in the previous match and picked one wicket in his four overs bowled out against 28 runs. Shivam Mavi picked one wicket in his three overs bowled out while he leaked 34 runs. Varun Chakravarthy was the other bowler from the KKR side who picked one wicket in his four overs bowled out while he was charged for 32 runs. Andre Russell and Kuldeep Yadav were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket in the previous match. KKR is performing well but they need to improve their batting and bowling unit in upcoming matches to qualify for the playoffs.

Royal Challengers Bangalore is performing well in this tournament of the IPL T2020 and you know that this is happening after five years. The last time when they qualified for the playoff was back in 2014. They had played a total of nine matches till now with six wins to their name. They had lost three matches and are holding the 3rd position on the points table. They had won their most recent match against Rajasthan Royals with a massive margin of seven wickets. They lost the toss and were asked to field first. The bowling unit of RCB almost failed to give their best performance in that match. They were charged for 177 runs in their inning of 20 overs. Six bowlers were used by RCB in that match and Chris Morris was the only successful bowler from their side who picked four wickets in his four overs bowled out against 26 runs. Yuzvendra Chahal was the other bowler from their side who had a superb performance with the ball. He picked two wickets in his four overs bowled out while he was charged for 34 runs. Washington Sundar, Navdeep Saini, Isuru Udana, and Shahbaz Ahmed were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket in the previous match.

Royal Challengers Bangalore won the previous match due to the best performance by their batting order. They chased the target of 178 runs on the board in 19.4 overs. Almost all batsmen from the RCB side put some runs on the board. AB de Villiers once again had an outstanding performance with the bat in the previous match. He remained not out after scoring 55 runs. He faced 22 deliveries and smashed one boundary and six huge sixes during his inning. The skipper, Virat Kohli is in good form and he continued his form in the previous match. He was the second-highest run-scorer from their side who scored 43 runs on 32 balls with the help of one boundary and two sixes. Devdutt Padikkal scored 35 runs while Aaron Finch could manage to score 14 runs. Gurkeerat Singh Mann remained not out after scoring 19 runs. The batting order of RCB is not only strong, but that is in excellent form and had been scoring runs continuously. The main weakness of the RCB had been bowling in the past and we had also observed in some previous matches of this tournament. The management of the RCB had to look at the bowling performance and should improve it so that they should continue their winning routine in the up-coming important matches.

The 39th Match match of the Indian Premier League is going to be held at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 180 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast for Abu Dhabi is good for this cricket match. There are almost no chances of rain in the region and we are hopeful that we will have a full match to enjoy.
