IPL 2024: Match 31, KKR vs RR Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between KKR and RR?

With both teams coming into the fixture on the back of a single loss and four victories in their last five games, the clash between the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Rajasthan Royals promises to be a riveting contest between two teams occupying the first two positions on the points table for the time being.

The hosts would be arriving with a boost of confidence, having beaten the Lucknow Super Giants by eight wickets and 26 deliveries to spare just a couple of days before they take on the incumbent table-toppers.

Meanwhile, RR had to go through a nail-biter of a contest against the Punjab Kings, which ended up with them defeating the latter by three wickets with just the unitary delivery to spare.
