IPL 2020 MATCH 12: RR vs KKR Preview, Prediction, Team news, Pitch Report and Fantasy dream team

Both the team's KKR and RR came after a win in the last match. Tewatia was the match for RR in one of the best run chases in IPL history and on the other hand, Shubhman Gill's partnership with Eoin Morgan gave KKR a comfortable win against SRH. Both teams won their last match while chasing but chasing is not here in Dubai as we have seen in the tournament so there will be some decision to be made by team management about what to choose after winning the toss. Both the teams have stiff competition with each other as both won 10 matches each in their head to head clashes.

PITCH REPORT:

Pitch here in Dubai is good for batting. There is dry grass on the pitch and it's a batting track. No spin for spin bowlers and pace flowers will get some movement with the new ball.

TOSS: 

Win the toss and bat as in the tournament batting first teams are winning, there will be dew and pitch will slightly slow down in the second half of the game.

TEAM NEWS:

RR: Ben Stokes has still not come to the UAE so he will be available. RR is unlikely to change their winning combination.

KKR: KKR is also looking balanced and will not unsettle the winning combination unless there is any injury. Sunil Narine will open the inning in spite of all the speculations.

PROBABLE PLAYING 11: 

RR: Steven Smith(c), Jos Butler(wk), Sanju Samson, Robin Uthappa, Rahul Tewatia, Riyan Parag, Tom Curran, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Jaydev Unadkat, Ankit Rajput

KKR: Shubhman Gill, Sunil Narine, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan, Dinesh Karthik, Andre Russell, Pat Cummins, Shivam Mavi, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Kamlesh Nagarkoti

WHAT TO EXPECT: 

Rajasthan Royals have won their first two games and their confidence will be sky-high as both the encounters we're high scoring games. While KKR with one lose one win try to overcome the RR fiery batting lineup. 

Pitching here in Dubai is good for batting but the dimension of the stadium is quite big on one side. RR will play for the first time outside the Sharjah Stadium in the tournament. KKR also is yet to play in Dubai as both their first two games were in Abu Dhabi. "Strong batting lineups means the high scoring game is on the way" we can say.

MATCH PREDICTION:

Score: Above 180 runs

Winning chances: RR 50% - 50% KKR

Team 1: Jos Butler, Shubhman Gill, Sanju Samson, Eoin Morgan, Steve Smith, Andre Russell, Rahul Tewatia, Shivam Mavi, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shreyas Gopal, Jofra Archer

Team 2: Jos Butler, Sanju Samson, Robin Uthappa, Eoin Morgan, Shubhman Gill, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Ankit Rajput, Shivam Mavi, Shreyas Gopal, Tom Curran
