IPL 2020: KKR vs RCB, Match 39 Updates: Siraj, Chahal shine as Bangalore beat Kolkata by 8 wickets

IPL 2020: Updates of Match 39 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore which is set to take place in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday (October 21).

IPL 2020: KKR vs RCB, Match 39 Updates

Abu Dhabi, October 21: Kolkata Knight Riders will clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore in Match 39 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday (October 21).

After having played nine matches each this season, RCB sit in the third spot in the points table with six wins, while KKR have secured five wins and are currently on the fourth spot in the standings.

Both teams come into Wednesday's match on the back of wins. RCB are fresh of their seven-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals , which was sealed and delivered by AB de Villiers, who hammered an unbeaten 55 off 22 balls.

KKR, meanwhile, overcame Sunrisers Hyderabad in a Super Over-finish. After Dinesh Karthik and Eoin Morgan guided them to 163/5, Lockie Ferguson starred with the ball, helping KKR gain two points.

In the reverse fixture earlier this season, it was RCB who emerged victorious thanks to ABD's unbeaten 33-ball 73. So, KKR will be out to avenge their loss and register their sixth win of the season. However, both teams will look to continue their winning ways as they look to seal a play-off spot in IPL 2020.
