1. Team News - Kolkata Knight Riders

The biggest cause of concern for Knight Riders will be the availability of Andre Russell, who hurt his knee when he dived into the advertisement boards after missing a catch on Saturday. Skipper Dinesh Karthik did not reveal the extent of the injury after the match against KXIP. KKR have battled batting inconsistencies this year.

Shubman Gill has been fabulous at the top with two half-centuries so far. Rahul Tripathi, who replaced Sunil Narine as opener, scored 81 against CSK but failed against KXIP. Nitish Rana has looked good in patches while Eoin Morgan has also been erratic. Karthik, who copped up a lot of criticism for his batting, was back among runs with a vital 29-ball 58 against KXIP.

KKR's bowling unit has been sensational in the last two games, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat and the bowlers will be high on confidence when they take on RCB.

2. Team News - Royal Challengers Bangalore

The biggest positive for RCB is that captain Kohli has got his touch back after ordinary performances at the beginning. Devdutt Padikkal has been in good touch, but AB de Villiers, who played some exquisite knocks at the beginning of the tournament, has looked off colour in recent outings. Aaron Finch has also struggled, failing to capitalise on his starts.

RCB bowling department, led by Yuzvendra Chahal, got a major boost with South African Chris Morris coming in to the side. The all-rounder was brilliant in his first appearance, bowling tight lines with a hint of away movement from right-handers.
