RR vs KKR: Match Preview:
For KKR, there is nothing much to play for in the upcoming game as they have not only sealed their spot in the playoffs but have also ensured that they finish at the top of the table irrespective of the result in their last league game. However, the two-time champions will be looking to win the game in order to have the momentum with them ahead of the Qualifier one.
For RR, there is a lot to play for. The first-ever IPL winners have sealed their place in the playoffs but are still not assured of a place in the top two. They have lost their last four games and will be desperate to turn things around in the upcoming game in order to have the momentum with them ahead of the playoffs.
A win will also give them a psychological advantage over KKR as both the teams will be facing again in the first qualifier. On the other hand, a loss can see RR finish at the third spot and face the high-flying Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Eliminator.
IPL 2024 points table:
KKR are currently at the top of the points table with 9 wins and three losses while RR are at the second spot with 8 wins and 5 losses.
