Match Preview

Rajasthan Royals are all set to host Kolkata Knight Riders for their last league-stage match of the season. The teams will be up against each other on May 19, Sunday, at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. Both teams have already registered their berth in the knockout stage of the tournament. In their last respective fixtures, RR slumped to PBKS by a margin of five wickets, whereas KKR were slated to play Gujarat Titans. However, the game was abandoned without a ball bowled due to rain. 

As it will be the last league-stage game of the season, both teams will aim to advance to the next stage on the back of a win over their counterparts. 

Toss Prediction

toss rr vs kkr

The last time both teams were up against each other was on April 16, 2024, at Kolkata’s home, Eden Gardens. The thrilling encounter saw guests’ skipper Sanju Samson winning the toss. Considering this, we think Kolkata’s skipper Shreyas Iyer would win the toss over hosts Sanju Samson and equal the toss tally 1-1. 

Win Possibility

As mentioned, Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders have already clashed once in the ongoing season. The encounter saw the Pink Jerseys registering a twp-wicket win in a last-ball thriller. Rajasthan have been dominating throughout the season but saw a major slump in their recent performances. The Jaipur-based franchise registered four successive defeats in their last games. However, owing to their stellar performances, the 2008 winners made it to the playoffs and are safe from the fear of elimination. 

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders emerged as one of the strongest teams of the season with their consistent effort and performance. The Kolkata-based franchise became the first team to make it to the playoffs. Hence, underestimating them might prove to be a big mistake for the Royals. 

KKR know how to steal victory from others, and they are most likely to do it in the upcoming match, to solidify their top-spot finish. 

Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score

The Barapara Stadium of Guwahati is set to host the Royals’ last league clash on May 19. The venue has a total of three IPL fixtures and has a first-inning average of 199. Considering this, we think the first-inning score of the forthcoming game between RR and PBKS would be 175-185, and the powerplay score to be between 50-55.
