RCB vs KKR Match Prediction - Predicted Winner of IPL 2023 Match 36

Kolkata Knight Riders need a way out of their losing streak as they face Royal Challengers Bangalore on Wednesday (April 26). RCB, on the other hand, are high in morale and would like to avenge their earlier loss.

It has been four games in a row now where KKR have come second best, and they will slump towards a deeper hole if they can't manage a win. The Bangalore outfit lost the reverse fixture at Eden Gardens, and will be keen to avenge that at their den.

RCB vs KKR IPL 2023: Match Prediction

RCB are in terrific form after their recent upsurge in results, while KKR are at their lowest after four straight defeats. The KKR side has looked wayward and out of ideas in the last couple of matches.

The KKR bowling and batting both have faltered, and their top earners and big names have been awful when it comes to performance. RCB players have resurrected themselves with a string of decent performances, and they are looking like a well-oiled unit at the moment.

Virat Kohli's aggression in the field has also helped them, while Mohammed Siraj has bamboozled the batters with fiery bowling up front. KKR's only positive this season has been Rinku Singh, who has performed well with the bat.

And in this match with Chinnaswamy full in support of the home side, we believe RCB will come away with the victory.

RCB vs KKR Head to Head in IPL
