In this article, we will analyze the IPL Cricket Match Prediction 2024of Match 70 of the Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders on May 19– Let’s see who will win. The last week of the group stage of the 2024 Indian Premier League has been somewhat slower and ultimately less interesting than some of its predecessors due to poor weather and a top four that hasn’t changed much. The 250 plays and 255 matches are no more, and in their place is the super-sopper with covers—some games not even receiving a mention!
However, this appears to be an excellent competition to conclude the group stage, and depending on other outcomes, it may also become the first qualifier and possibly the final.
This season, only two teams have been able to combine strong bowling and huge hitting like Rajasthan Royals and KKR. This matchup should be very good.
Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Team Preview & Squads
Rajasthan Royals
Thankfully for the Rajasthan Royals’ supporters, players, and management, the team won eight of their first nine IPL games this season; after that, it was all downhill from the tenth game on!
The Royals enter this game having dropped their previous encounters with the Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Punjab Kings. Before the playoffs, the team needs to find a way to rebuild some confidence under the leadership of captain Sanju Samson and coach Kumar Sangakarra.
However, it will be difficult to accomplish against a rejuvenated and in-form KKR, especially because Rajasthan will be without Jos Buttler, who has returned to England to prepare for the T20 World Cup.
In addition to having already won the first qualifier and a spot in the championship game, KKR is also finishing the group stage on a high note. The only thing that has stopped them lately is the weather, as seen by the fact that their most recent game against the Gujarat Titans was called off before there was even a toss.
All-rounder Sunil Narine has been KKR’s clear star of the tournament and should be most commentators’ choice for Player of the Tournament. The team features some formidable players both with the bat and the ball.
The return of Phil Salt to England before to the T20 World Cup is the lone little setback for KKR before this match.

Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders outfield report
Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati
This year’s league has only seen one game where the team fielding first has prevailed, even though the team batting first has won two of the previous three IPL matches played at this location. We therefore anticipate that both captains will desire to bowl first.
Sunday afternoon has a clear and pleasant outlook, although there is a constant risk of thunderstorms in the area. If the number of overs per side in this game was lowered, it wouldn’t be shocking.
In Guwahati, where the average first-inning score is 180, the cricket wicket is good.
