KKR on the other hand are coming off a last over win against SRH. Though KKR has the best NRR among teams fighting for the 4th spot, Kolkata will hope that their captain Eoin Morgan finds his mojo in its last league game.
In head-to-head games, there is little to separate the two teams as KKR has won 12 of the 24 matches vs The Royals. However, the recent stats fall under KKR’s belt as the Knights have won 6 of the last 8 fixtures against Rajasthan.
