IPL 2024: Match 36, KKR vs RCB Today Match Prediction - Who will win today's IPL match?

Bengaluru is already at the do-or-die stage. Halfway through, they need to win each game to stay alive. Their bowling and previous performance suggest otherwise, though. As Faf said, bowling lacks weapons. The batting, in contrast, has been perfect, but the bowling cannot back up the batters. They now have another explosive line-up who made 272 themselves to feast on the Bengaluru bowlers.

KKR vs RCB Key Players

Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik has been carrying RCB with the bat. He gave what could be his best IPL performance in the previous game and is making himself challenging to ignore as a wicket-keeper batter yet again. The runs are coming, the innovative strokes are in display and at 38, Dinesh Karthik remains as fit as an 18 year old.

Sunil Narine

Dinesh Karthik is starting to get tough for selectors to ignore while Sunil Narine is finding it tough to respond to questions regarding a World Cup comeback. His batting and bowling both are really good and the West Indies unit would really love to see him back in their side for sure.
