Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Riyan Parag had a brilliant start to the campaign but struggled in the second half of the campaign. But it seems as if Parag has found his form again and has scored 77, 27, 47 and 48 in the last four games which makes us believe, Parag would continue his brilliant form and will score well in the upcoming game.
The game between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings was the first T20 game at the venue this season and it turned out to be a low scoring game. The wickets seemed slow but still low scores happened because of poor batting display by RR in the first innings and not because of the wicket. We believe this would be a high scoring game and total runs in the game to be extremely high.

Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Betting Odds
Kolkata Knight Riders to have a better opening partnership than Rajasthan Royals
Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals head into this game in contrasting forms. Even though both sides find themselves occupying the top two spots, both teams are placed at opposite ends of the form table. RR has struggled to get going in the second half of the campaign as they head into this game on the back of four straight defeats. On the other hand, KKR has been flying at the moment and have won four straight games as they head into this fixture. One of the biggest issues for RR this season has been the lack of consistency in the top order and with Jos Buttler returning to England camp those issues have escalated further. RR has conceded a bigger opening partnership in three of the last four games which makes us believe KKR would have a better opening stand in the upcoming game and it's a great opportunity to make some quick financial gains.
