Hello and welcome to Match 31 of IPL 2020, set to be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore in Abu Dhabi. Both teams, despite some lingering issues, have managed to stay in the top four of the points table without much stress. However, with Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab notching wins in the last couple of days, they are proving to be a possible threat to both KKR and RCB in the second half of the group stage. A win for RCB will help them enter the top two and make them comfortable in their playoffs race, while a loss to KKR can severely hurt them at this stage, especially with the team yet to find its best combination.
