RCB vs KKR Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – IPL 2024 10th Match | RCB vs KKR Dream11 Prediction Today | Bengaluru Pitch Report
With all the fireworks in IPL 2024 over recent days, here is another opportunity for more. Two teams with powerful batting lineups do battle at the batting-friendly M Chinnaswamy Stadium where anything is possible.
Royal Challengers Bangalore are coming off a morale-boosting victory against Punjab Kings. Virat Kohli was excellent, while the finishing from Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror is cause for optimism. A win here helps build momentum as the tournament goes into its second week.
Kolkata Knight Riders have beaten RCB in four of their past five meetings. The finishing against Sunrisers Hyderabad was magnificent, but there is room for improvement when it comes to their death-bowling. There is arguably no tougher ground to put those skills to the test.
