What
The Rajasthan Royals playing against the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 13th game of the tournament
When
Saturday, March 20, 4pm.
Where
At the second home of the Rajasthan Royals, Ahmedabad. The Sardar Vallabhai Patel stadium hosts its second T20 and the pitch is likely be another paradise for the batsmen, sans the dew, this being a day encounter.
The Protagonists
The Kolkata Knight Riders would want to build upon the ideal start they have had this season and prove that their loss was just an aberration. Chris Gayle has returned from international duty and would give Dav Whatmore a serious headache in selecting the playing 11 for the Knight Riders.
The Royals, on the other hand, have problems in all departments, after injuries to key players. With Shane Watson quite some time away from joining them, the Royals need some real inspiration to emerge from this mini-slump.
What next?
While KKR want to stay in the top half of the table, Rajasthan would be looking to climb out of the bottom half.
The Royals have had perhaps their worst season till date. Being the team which has won the most games in all seasons of IPL till now, they’d want to keep that reputation intact. A win here would help get them back on track in the tournament.
