The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 12, in what will be the seventh match of the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL) season for both sides.
KKR and RCB are currently third and fourth on the points table, respectively. They are just behind the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals who have 10 points from seven matches each. A win tonight, would allow both teams to match MI and DC’s points and possible surpass them with the help of a better net run rate.
Virat Kohli-led RCB defeated the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 37 runs in the last match. Dinesh Karthik-led KKR are hoping to complete a hat-trick of wins, having beaten Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and CSK in their last two matches.
The match will begin at 7.30 pm Indian Standard Time (IST).
