What: KKR vs RCB, Match 39, 6pm local time, 7:30pm IST
Where: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
What to expect:The wicket at Abu Dhabi hasn't been ideal for stroke-making but teams batting second have had better conditions at their disposal in the last two evening matches. If the CSK-RR contest is a marker to rely on, the bowlers can expect to have another good day at the office.
Team news:
Kolkata Knight Riders
A half-fit Andre Russell was unable to defend 18 in the final over against SRH. If the hamstring injury isn't too serious, the think-tank will continue to bank on the allrounder to turn things around with the bat. Bar any forced injury-related changes, KKR should retain the same side.
Probable XI: Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan (c), Andre Russell/Chris Green, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Pat Cummins, Shivam Mavi, Kuldeep Yadav, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Chakravarthy.
