What to expect from the match
Rajasthan Royals come into the Eden Gardens game after a heavy reality check against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Chasing 217, they were 1 for 3 inside an over, and the middle order never recovered. The absence of Shimron Hetmyer hurt, while Riyan Parag and Ravindra Jadeja have not contributed enough so far.
For Kolkata Knight Riders, the situation is worse. One point from six games leaves them close to elimination. Another defeat could end their campaign early. The likely absence of Matheesha Pathirana adds to their problems, with both form and balance still unsettled.
