Rajasthan Royals (RR) will lock horns against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the final doubleheader weekend and the final game of the league phase. It’s been a topsy turvy ride for the men in pink, and now with the race for the top four wide open, Steve Smith’s men would like to continue their winning momentum and set the stage alight with another win. Both teams are locked on twelve points and have a do or die battle on their hands.
Venue Talk
The Royals are back in Dubai for the decider after a good run at Abu Dhabi. Steve Smith and his side would feel confident of continuing their run at the venue having played some good cricket in some tightly contested matches previously.
Opposition Chatter
The Knight Riders are still in the race for the final four despite losing out in their previous two games. This will be the Knight’s third game in Dubai and they will be looking for a quick turn-around having lost a close one against the Super Kings last time around.
